WE HAVE ALIENS IN OUR STORE!!


Yes, you heard it right! We have extraterrestrials in our Little Neck, NY showroom.

You don't believe?

Here it is!!



Ok the skull face is carved by humans, but the "stone" is from outer space. It is called Moldavite.

Moldavite is an olive green substance created by a meteorite impact. It was first discovered in 1800's in a small town called Moldauthein in Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Doesn't it look like Kryptonite in this picture? I guess Superman won't come to our store :)

It is believed that Moldavite can raise the vibrational level of both the Earth and humans, while enhancing the healing process in many situations.

If that wasn't unique enough about Moldavite, which is also called "green fire", we would like to also tell you that when this interesting stone is heated under certain conditions, it transforms into a gorgeous red ruby color gem.

Gary recently purchased some beautiful "diamond cut" moldavites from an exclusive jewelry/ gemstone expo along with some gorgeous Ceylon blue natural sapphires, and created a small but spectacular hand-crafted jewelry line.

Here is how he started:
 First he put together the materials, including the custom-made settings, right size diamonds and the moldavite and sapphire gemstones.






 After matching the center stones to the settings that were specifically created for them Gary started setting the stones. 






Here are all the pieces after the setting process. They still have to be polished and turned into pendants and earrings.


Don't they look edible?!




Gary turned some of them into studs, 

Some into drop earrings, 
He also created amazing Moldavite necklaces  in 14kt yellow gold, surrounded by round brilliant cut diamonds as well as on the chain. 




Here is a simpler version of the same necklace without diamonds on the chain. 





 You can usually find these beautiful Moldavites in museums but why bother going there. You can always stop by in OKG Jewelry's  Little Neck,  New York location and view this gorgeous collection, even try them on!


If you stop by on a Friday or Saturday, you can actually see Gary during his creation process!
