IS IT TIME TO UPDATE? 

Is it time to update your jewelry? Sometimes the answer to this question is "Absolutely yes!!" 

Let's see the reasons: 

You inherited some pieces of jewelry that is not necessarily bad looking but totally not your style. Some people even inherit loose stones from grandma or a great aunt. 

Or it may that ring you bought with you first salary in the 90's and it went out of fashion so badly that you can't stand looking at it. 

Wasn't this the hottest ring back in the day? 

Another situation might be that you have a beautiful diamond in a solitaire style setting and you want to make it more showy and extravagant. 

If that's the case we know just the designer for you! 

Gary Azatyan 

Gary is one of the co-owner's of OKG Jewelry and of course the exclusive designer of the company. He is a very skilled diamond setter specialized in Haute Couture art pieces. In his own word "Nothing is impossible when it comes to designing the perfect jewelry for my customers"  

A short while ago one of our long time customers brought in her 2 rings and a beautiful oval shape loose tanzanite. She had put these rings in her jewelry drawer and she had not put them on for a very long time. 

They sat down with Gary and looked at some different rings from our showcase. 

Gary particularly focused on rings that would match with the size and shape of her stones. Once she pointed out her favorite styles Gary starting making some sketches and offered her a few different alternatives. She picked 2 styles and the next step was removing the diamonds form her current rings. 

Re-designing process is a very complicated and several step operation where we first create simple sketches, 

then these drawings are turned into 3 Dimensional computerized CAD designs. 

Next step is to create a wax model and a casting which is the raw version of the jewelry setting. 

Sometimes the piece is casted in separate pieces and Gary sets the diamonds in each section, afterwards all the parts are soldered together. It is very much like a puzzle. 

Re-designing old jewelry can be a  very emotional process. 

Some people are very sentimental about modifying old jewelry since they feel like it taint the precious memories related to the object. However for this very reason many people prefer to put their jewelry in a safety deposit box or a drawer and never wear it. We feel like using the stones from the piece and incorporating them into a beautiful design you will enjoy a lifetime is a much better way to pay tribute to the memories. 

Through the years we have experienced that the customers who go in the re-designing route never regret the decision and feel wonderful to be connected to the piece with their added personal touch. This way it becomes their very own special creation combined with the sentimental gems from your loved one. 

Here is a photo of the finished rings ready to be savored for a lifetime. 

And after...

Do you have old, vintage jewelry that is hidden in the drawer and wants to come out in the daylight? We are just the right jewelers for you!! 

BABY AND CHILDREN'S JEWELRY 

We can never forget that special joy our children bring us. 

They spark our lives with their unique personalities and sometimes even drive us crazy. But we love them unconditionally. They all have a  monthly birthstone that represents their color. 

Here are some examples of birthstone earrings for babies and toddlers:

BIRTHSTONE STUD EARRINGS

These earrings are small enough to put on a little girl. They fit securely and comfortably on the ear. 

Here are some more jazzed up versions of these studs. 

Amethyst (February birthstone) and diamond stud earrings in yellow gold 

These earrings have a "martini" style side view for comfortable wear. 

If you are not crazy about the stud idea we have something even better: Wire back earrings. These earrings are extremely safe on the baby. 

Peridot (August birthstone) and diamond wire back earrings 

She can easily sleep in them and there are no separate backs to fall off. 

You can see from the side view how safe they are. 

This beautiful pair is made in 14kt yellow gold with a diamond wire back and blue turquoise. 

They are just vividly beautiful! 

Here is a comparison of studs to wire backs. 

She is wearing her drop earrings happily and fashionably!

Sapphire Blue Zircon (September Birthstone) drop earrings 

Simple and beautiful in 14kt yellow gold with a textured bezel frame. 

Allthese earrings are can be made in different color gemstones and you don't really have to go with the birthstone of the child if it is not your favorite color. 

BABY BANGLES 

These are the easies and least risky type of jewelry you can put on a child. They can't pull and break them, they don't easily get caught on things and they don't have small parts that the child could accidentally put in her/his mouth. 

These bangles are gorgeous in silver and gold with colorful enamel or floral engraving. 

The top one is an ID Bangle and you can engrave the kids name on it. 

LADYBUG BRACELET 

 This bracelet is beautifully made in 14kt yellow gold and has red and black enamel details.

 It is perfect for a baby or a toddler, even something they can wear in their teenage years. 

Another option would be an evil eye ID bracelet with the little one's name. 

or even one with beautiful links such as the bracelet on the left above. 

BABY PENDANTS 

A pendant might be the best option for a baby. Since it is on the neck it doesn't catch the baby's attention all the time therefore she/ he does not get tempted to play with it. 

These little heart charm pendants are absolutely perfect for a baby girl with colorful enamel or a little diamond in the center.  

If you desire to celebrate a newborn or the birthday of a loved one's child, however you prefer to give jewelry t the mother of the baby, we have great ideas and products in our showroom for new moms as well.

BABY CHARM NECKLACE FOR MOM

This particular version is created for a customer that had twin babies. You can also gift it to a mom that has 2 kids. The charm can be created in a baby boy or a baby girl figure. We can make it in a simple charm without any stones or encrusted with diamonds or gemstones as seen above. 

Another great idea is a "Baby Shoe" charm that can be used as a pendant or attached to a link bracelet. 

These little baby shoes cmd in gender appropriate styles for a boy or a girl. 

Some have beautiful floral or enamel details. 

Here is one with pave set diamonds and a floral embelishment in the front. 

Here is our bundle of joy who brought so much happiness to our family in the last months.
