Re-Create, Recycle, Revamp!

Most people have some jewelry either passed on from older family members, or just purchased so long ago that it is terribly outdated.

Of course you can always sell it and get a new piece of jewelry, but a smarter option would be reusing the precious gems and metal of the existing jewelry and make something brand new and beautiful that speaks to your current taste.

Here are some examples of what we did with our customers' old jewelry:

This particular customer had some old rings with beautiful diamonds in them. 

 We took out the diamonds and the gold from the rings and turned them into this gorgeous diamond station necklace, she can enjoy everyday.

Photos don't even do justice to the beauty of this necklace. 

The diamonds are set in a special style rounded bezel that when the diamonds turn on the chain, it would not look backwards but very sparkly 

Now she can wear it as a diamond station necklace on its own,

or as a diamond chain, with a diamond pendant. 

Sapphire Earrings

Here is another wonderful transformation:

An old sapphire ring and a pendant from 1980's period, was revamped into a stunning pair of sapphire studs with a diamond halo. 

Aren't they absolutely gorgeous and modern in this new style?!

From Old to Fashion Forward

How about an old pin, altered into a fashion forward sapphire pendant! These type of necklaces are the hottest jewelry trend in 2015. 

And all we had to do was to remove the pin/needle from the back of the brooch, give it a nice polish and refinish it with a contemporary yet classic cable chain. 

The pearls interspacing the sapphires (which were a part of the original brooch) make the piece one of a kind and very artistic.

JEWELRY OF THE MONTH-THEATRE RING

As a family of jewelers who are specialized in custom-designs, we love when our customers show up in our store with a one of a kind jewelry idea, that will be specialized to interests or passion in life.

This was one of those occasions that our dear customer Mitchell who is a one man army when it comes to plays and musical whether it is singing or writing a play. He is a very successful writer and actor who has a passion for theatre and show business. He also sings very well. He wanted to get a ring that represents his love for theatre and singing. After a while brainstorming the design options with Gary, the basic sketch was drawn and Gary started perfecting it by deciding on the type of materials and techniques will be used on the ring as well stones. Based on Mitchell's preference, they decided to go with black and white diamonds.

Of course what is a theatre themed ring without the "Comedy&Tragedy" theatre masks! Gary added a  Thalia mask and a Melpomene mask on 2 sides of this spectacularly unique theatre ring he designed.

The history of these masks go way back all the way to ancient Greece and the birth of theatre, The main function of these masks with exaggerated facial expressions was to help the actors to transmit their emotions to the audience, sitting in the backseats of giant amphitheaters. 

First we did a sketch of the ring from different angles. Mitchell really liked the designed and gave us the go ahead, 

therefore we took the next step which is the 3D computer design 

The sketch was precisely duplicate in a computer program which is a special software for custom 3D jewelry design.

Once all the details were perfected, we created the actual ring. 

It came out absolutely gorgeous!

It is completely high polished with rounded edges,

 The top portion is encrusted with pave set round cut black diamonds with a diamond microphone diagonally laid on top of it.

You can see the tragedy mask on one side,

And the comedy on the other

Mitchell absolutely loved his ring!
