### About Us


JewelryThis was founded in 2014, by Dror Habusha, an experienced entrepreneur and technology enthusiast, and Aron Suley, an artist and master jeweler. We are a San Diego, California based company with a global outreach and everyone on our team is passionate about jewelry. Our first love is beautiful custom fine jewelry, so at heart we are professional jewelry makers who like to create beautiful jewelry. But we also appreciate technology, so we use both art and technology to design and produce stunning custom-made jewelry pieces. When you see the results of our efforts, you’ll understand why we love what we do. Dror (left) and Aron (right), select design waxes for custom jewelry creation Dror Habusha "My first jewelry memory is when my grandmother showed me one of her rings and, with a sparkle in her eye, told me that my grandfather bought it for her after she gave birth to my mother. Her deep attachment to it, and to the precious milestone it commemorated, has stayed with me. Although we might have many jewelry pieces, there are always a few among them that hold a meaning and significance that tie generations together, represent a dream, or immortalize a memory. I truly enjoy helping people find connections and meaning in their lives through custom jewelry. " Aron Suley "Over 40 years ago, I started at the jeweler’s bench, honing my skills in design, and discovering my love for custom jewelry. Since then, I’ve created pieces ranging from $1,000 to over $1....

### From Seal to Symbol: The Evolution of Signet Rings in Modern Fashion


For centuries, the signet ring has been more than just jewelry—it was a tool, a symbol of identity, and often, a mark of power. Once carved from stone or cast in precious metal to create seals for authenticating documents, signet rings were a practical necessity for nobility, clergy, and officials alike. But over time, their purpose has shifted. Today, signet rings have evolved into meaningful accessories that blend tradition with personal expression. Then: The Power of the Seal The origins of the signet ring date back thousands of years to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, where rulers and high-ranking officials wore rings engraved with their personal or royal emblems. Pressed into wax or clay, these rings served as signatures to endorse documents, enforce laws, or issue decrees. Gold signet ring with royal emblem Signet ring seal pressed into wax to securely close a letter In medieval Europe, signet rings often bore family crests and were destroyed upon the owner's death to prevent misuse—testament to their authenticity and authority. Family Crest Signet Ring Crafted from materials like carved agate, onyx, or solid gold, early signet rings were utilitarian objects. Every detail was designed for function, creating a seal that could not be easily replicated. Now: A Statement of Identity Today, signet rings no longer serve to seal documents, but their symbolism lives on, transformed into bold expressions of identity, achievement, and personal style. From sporting clubs and college graduations to championship titles and fashion-forward statements, signet rings now reflect who you are...

### From Childhood to Forever: The True Value of Recreating Cherished Jewelry


Jewelry is much more than an accessory. It holds our memories, emotions, and stories—sometimes for a lifetime or even generations. When a piece is deeply meaningful, worn over years and through important life moments, it’s natural to want to preserve it forever. At JewelryThis, we understand that recreating a beloved piece is a very personal and emotional journey. That’s why, beyond mere replication, we focus on capturing the heart of the original while elevating it with the highest craftsmanship and quality. To highlight what goes into this process—and why it differs so greatly from mass-produced jewelry—let’s explore the story of Christina’s sibling lockets. The Emotional Power Behind Sibling Lockets Sibling relationships hold a unique place in our lives, forged through shared history and unconditional support. Christina’s lockets were a physical emblem of this bond—matching pieces that she and her sister once wore, each engraved with “BIG SIS” or “LIL SIS” along with a delicate flower of blue gemstones. Over time, these lockets showed signs of wear; the style had also grown a bit dated for their adult tastes. Christina wanted to preserve the emotional meaning and create a modern piece that reflected their evolving style and could be worn every day. Original locket photo Why Custom Recreation Is Different — And Sometimes Pricier Than Mass Production This is often where questions arise around cost—why does recreating a cherished item cost more than the original or similar mass-produced pieces? The answer lies in the nature of the process itself and the...

### How a Guard Ring Completes the Engagement Ring Set


When it comes to engagement rings, the excitement often peaks at that unforgettable moment when the proposal happens, and the ring is slipped on. But the journey doesn't stop there. For most couples, creating the perfect wedding band to complement the engagement ring is just as important as the proposal itself. This is exactly where the beauty of a guard ring comes into play. What Is a Guard Ring? Think of it as the perfect partner for your engagement ring. The guard ring fits around both sides of the engagement ring, with the bands joined at the bottom, acting as a frame that holds the engagement ring securely in place. Not only does it provide extra protection, but it also adds a lovely bit of extra flair. Unlike a traditional wedding band that can move independently from the engagement ring, a guard ring is specifically designed to be flush around the engagement ring, so the three rings essentially fit like one and move as one. It provides not just extra durability, but also that "wow" factor, enhancing the beauty of the engagement ring and making it feel more complete. How do we start? If you already made the engagement ring with us, we will start with the ring model to make sure everything fits together perfectly. I include below a perfect example o how we went about crafting this guard ring: Understanding the Engagement Ring: The first step in designing the guard ring is understanding the unique characteristics and specifications...

### Are Lab Diamonds Real Diamonds? Here’s What You Need to Know


If you’re shopping for a diamond, you’ve probably come across the term lab-grown diamonds. But you might be wondering: Are lab diamonds real diamonds? The answer is yes! Let’s break it down simply. What Exactly Are Lab-Grown Diamonds? Imagine a diamond forming deep within the Earth over millions of years. Now, imagine that same process happening in a lab, but in a fraction of the time. That’s what lab-grown diamonds are—real diamonds, created using advanced technology to replicate the natural process that forms them deep within the Earth. Two main methods are used to create them: HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) mimics the conditions deep beneath the Earth’s surface. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) uses a carbon-rich gas to create the diamond layer by layer. Both methods result in a genuine diamond—chemically identical to mined diamonds and visually stunning. Diamond Rough Are Lab Diamonds Real? Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. Here’s why: They have the same chemical structure, meaning they’re made of pure carbon atoms arranged in the same way as natural diamonds.

If you're new to buying diamonds, you might be wondering how size affects the price. It can be a bit confusing, but understanding diamond size vs value can help you make a smart purchase.

### Enamel Jewelry and How You Can Customize Your Own?


Customization in jewelry is more than just a trend; it's a testament to personal style and individuality. Among the myriad of customizable options, enamel jewelry emerges as a timeless favorite, blending intricate craftsmanship with vibrant color palettes. Let's embark on a journey into the captivating world of custom enamel jewelry, exploring its rich history, intricate techniques, and contemporary allure. The Enchanting History of Enamel: Enamel, a fusion of powdered glass and metal, boasts a rich history dating back centuries. From ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to the Byzantine and Renaissance eras, enamel work adorned religious icons, royal regalia, and decorative objects. Its enduring appeal transcended cultures, spanning from China's cloisonné to the delicate champlevé of Europe. Two Types of Enamel: Enamel jewelry comes in two distinct types—hot and cold enamel—each offering unique characteristics and benefits. Hot Enamel: Hot enamel is created using finely ground glass particles mixed with color pigment. This mixture is applied to various metals and then heated to high temperatures. As it heats, the glass particles melt and fuse together, forming a solid layer of vibrant color on the metal surface. The intense heat used in this process results in a durable, glass-like finish that can endure the test of time. Cold Enamel: Cold enamel uses epoxy resin to create vibrant colors without the need for high temperatures. This method involves combining a colored base with a hardener, which then cures within approximately 24 hours to form a solid layer. How to use these enamels in jewelry: If...

### Sustainable and Ethical Jewelry


When it comes to choosing jewelry, it's not just about the sparkle and style anymore. Today, consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental and ethical implications of their purchases. We address these top questions around key issues like conflict diamonds, explore natural diamond alternatives, delve into recycled gold, and shed light on ethical sourcing – all in the context of JewelryThis's commitment to high ethical standards. What are “Conflict Diamonds”? Often referred to as ‘blood’ diamonds, conflict diamonds are diamonds that have been mined and illegally sold to fund rebel or terror-based conflicts in war-torn areas. This practice is extremely lucrative for such groups, but it brings a terrible reality. The mining of conflict diamonds perpetuates human rights violations and atrocities such as rape, murder, and the use of child soldiers. Areas from which conflict diamonds are known to originate include the African nations of Angola, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and the Ivory Coast. The United Nations defines conflict diamonds as ‘any diamond mined in areas controlled by forces that oppose the legitimate, internationally recognized government of a country’. This is why JewelryThis does everything it can (see below) to ensure that its suppliers and service providers share high ethical standards. Conflict Diamond Areas Natural Diamond Alternatives For those opting for alternatives to natural diamonds, several options provide both sparkle and durability. Lab-grown diamonds, cubic zirconia (CZ), and white gemstones like moissanite, white topaz, and white sapphire offer stunning alternatives. You might well be surprised at...

### NFTs and Jewelry: A Glistening Combination of Art & Tech


If you've been tuned into the latest buzz in both the digital and artistic world lately, it's likely you've come across the term NFT, or non-fungible tokens. As this new form of digital asset continues to rise in popularity, creative industries are finding innovative ways to merge this technology with their craft, and jewelry is no exception. Before delving into the transformation of NFTs into jewelry, it's essential to understand the basics of NFTs: What are NFTs? NFTs, an abbreviation for non-fungible tokens, are a type of digital assets that exist on the Ethereum blockchain. Fundamentally, they can prove ownership or authenticity of a unique item or experience, setting them apart from fungible tokens such as cryptocurrencies. The primary characteristic that differentiates NFTs from other digital assets is their uniqueness. Every NFT possesses a singular value and cannot be interchanged with another, thereby enabling a specific NFT to stand out in the digital crowd. The Fusion of NFTs and Jewelry So how do NFTs tie into the realm of jewelry? Here at JewelryThis, we believe in pushing the boundaries of creativity – and NFT technology provides a groundbreaking avenue for doing so.

### Tattoos to Jewelry


The History: The art of tattooing as well as the art of jewelry making have been in practice for much longer than most of us realize. The earliest known tattoo dates back to around 5200 BC, while what is thought to be the oldest piece of crafted jewelry only dates back to 4300 BC. History aside, both tattoos and jewelry offer unique and beautiful forms of self-expression and stylization, and often reflect a personal story. The Crossover: Tattoos are personal and carry different meanings for everyone. They are a way of self-expression, a visual display of a personal story or narrative. Jewelry has a similar purpose, often expressing a personal sentiment or memory as well. Both tattoos and jewelry are a type of accessory and are often conversation starters, and both can be inspired by meaningful life stories or act as a way to connect to a loved one or remember a special moment in your life. When created by skilled hands and rooted in personal history, tattoos and jewelry can lovingly and gently tell your own rich and unique story. Yet, crafting a piece of custom jewelry inspired by a tattoo adds a whole new level of depth to the storytelling. Cynthia’s Story: Cynthia was searching for a unique and deeply special way to honor and memorialize her son and came to us with a vision of a piece of jewelry inspired by her late son’s tattoo. Looked at from afar, the tattoo looks like a heart; but up...

### Gold or Silver, What to choose?


Gold or Silver, What to choose? Choosing between gold and silver jewelry can be a difficult decision, but if you're looking for a piece of jewelry that is durable, timeless, and versatile, gold may be the way to go. While silver or gold plated jewelry are popular choices for jewelry, producing a piece in gold can be worth the extra cost for several reasons, Would you be able to tell the difference between white gold (left) and silver (right) at a glance? Durability: Gold is a much more durable material than silver (or gold plated silver), which means that a gold piece of jewelry will last longer and stand up to wear and tear better than a silver piece. Gold plated jewelry is made from a thin layer of gold over a sterling silver base and regular wear and tear can cause the gold plating to wear off over time. Choosing gold can be important for a piece of jewelry that is meant to be worn frequently or for special occasions, as it will be less likely to get damaged or worn out over time. Rarity and value: Gold is rarer than silver, which means that it is generally more valuable. This can add to the overall value and desirability of the piece, which can make it a better investment. This can also make the piece more emotionally meaningful to the client, as it will be seen as more valuable and special. Maintenance and Cleaning: Gold jewelry is less prone...

### What is the Custom Jewelry Creation Timeline?


How long does it take to make a custom jewelry piece? Our jewelry production process typically takes 4-6 weeks and involves several stages to ensure that each piece of jewelry is created with precision and care. The first stage is creating a sketch of the design, which is then modeled using specialized software to create a 3D image. Once the model is created, we create a render image that gives our clients a realistic idea of what the final product will look like. The client then approves the design, and we move on to the production stage, which involves printing the design in wax, burning it in a kiln to create a mold, and then pouring pure melted metal into the mold to get the raw cast. After casting, the piece goes to gem setting where each gemstone is set by hand. The piece is then polished to perfection before going through the final cleaning process. This process ensures that each piece of jewelry we produce is of the highest quality and meets our clients' expectations. Custom Jewelry Making Process: STEP 1: Sketch by JewelryThis (top left) , STEP 2: Photo-realistic image sent to the client to approve their design and what their piece will look like once complete (top right).

### Black Gold Jewelry Is this trend just a spray-on? Or real precious metal?


There is nothing so timeless and classic as a piece of jewelry made from yellow, white, or rose gold, the perfect trio of colors to compliment gems of any hue, and a metal hard enough to withstand daily use or the occasional beating at a pickleball game (oh, do you play too? ). We have noticed an uptick in one particular kind of metal that is, interestingly, none of the aforementioned colors (yellow, white, or rose, or even red, since that’s another option as well). The color in question, the color that seems to be showing up more and more, is none other than black. As self-expression through jewelry continues to be the rage among today’s scenesters, and more people are interested in eye-catching and unique pieces, black gold jewelry offers an edgy look that takes any piece of jewelry from classic to supercool. Black is timeless, gender inclusive, and goes with everything! In this post, we will define and dispel what black gold is and isn’t, how it's made, whether it is still as valuable and regular gold, and show you some real examples from customer projects. black gold star ring What is black gold? Is black gold made from real gold? The short answer is yes, and no. You saw that coming... Metallurgists (the folks that study the properties of various metals, and refine them through processes like creating alloys) have not yet perfected an alloying of gold that is available commercially. So, until they can “make it”,...

### Reexamining the Butterfly


You can create just about any shape using a 3D printer. But some pieces remain quite challenging. The butterfly is the perfect example. It’s a shape used by jewelry designers throughout history. The challenge isn’t in creating the figure itself but making it unique. The butterfly can be the perfect shape for expressive designs or as a way to create simple pieces that peak the imagination of consumers. It’s most famous use is as a brooch. This is where design, art, materials and craftsmanship meet. As a brooch, the only limitations of the butterfly motif are how much time, materials and skill one has. For centuries high jewelry designers have used the wings of a butterfly as a palette to combine colorful gems and diamonds in artistic displays. Among the best modern-day purveyors of this form are JAR and Cindy Chao. Both have the ability to combine several shapes of gems to the overall figure. Chao’s Royal Butterfly Brooch, on display at the Smithsonian Institute, has a 3-dimensional quality with a rough texture featuring more than 2,300 gems that are layered, making it rich in color. Rough diamond slices stacked atop a pave layer of faceted diamonds form the centerpieces of the wings. Other gems include sapphires, fancy-colored sapphires, color-change sapphires, rubies, diamonds, fancy-colored diamonds, and tsavorite garnets. JAR’s butterflies are plentiful and each one is unique. Some have wings that sparkle with either colorless diamonds or an array of colorful gems. Some feature gem cutting and setting techniques that...

### Say Hello to January’s Birthstone: The Glamorous Garnet


As an aspect of horoscopes, birthstones have a pretty fascinating story, going back at least to the Middle Ages when people wore them for good luck, for prophetic powers, and even for spell casting. They might even go back to biblical times when something akin to birthstones was discussed by 1st-century historian, Josephus. However, it wasn’t until the 18th century that birthstones were assigned months. Later, in 1912, the National Association of Jewelers defined the list of birthstones we know today. Plus They’re beautiful But more than their storied history, people love birthstones because they’re fun to wear as well as associated with good luck, good health, and safety. Mostly, however, they’re beautiful. Take, for example, January’s birthstone - the garnet and the many rich, shimmering colors it comes in. Garnet Glamour Garnets can be found in almost any color including yellow, orange, brown, pink, green, red, and purple, have exceptional fire, and are mined on just about every continent on the planet although some varieties have been just about exhausted. Even though they come in a range of colors, however, garnets are most widely known as being rich dark red and are sometimes confused with rubies although they are very different. Garnet Jewelry Because of the popularity of red garnets, garnets are often associated with the heart, love, and inner fire. Whatever color garnet you use, however, their radiant hue is beautiful in any type of jewelry. Take, for example, the gorgeous rose gold engagement ring and yellow garment...

### Unique Women's Wedding Rings


While engagement rings have traditionally been more detailed and elaborate than wedding rings, no one ever said that tradition must dictate fashion. There’s no reason the wedding band shouldn’t be just as striking and impressive as the engagement ring. After all, where the engagement ring symbolizes the promise of commitment, it’s the wedding ring that symbolizes the actual commitment, the official bond of marriage. Indeed, the wedding band deserves a design fitting of its status, which is why many brides today prefer a band that is more sophisticated and elegant. Today, wedding bands for women are trending away from the standard simple gold or silver band and instead designed to be just as stunning as the engagement ring. They’re also increasingly individual and unique. Many women are opting for custom wedding bands that are crafted according to their unique style and preferences. Mixed diamond cuts weddign ring Chunky gold wedding ring Color gemstone curved wedding ring But First, a Little History Wedding bands have a long history, dating way back to the Ancient Egyptians who believed the circular shape of the ring represented eternity. They also believed that the fourth finger from the thumb (the ring finger) contained a vein that led directly to the heart so rings were given to lovers to represent devotion and worn on the ring finger. The Greeks adopted the custom when they conquered Egypt and later the custom was adopted by the Romans when they conquered Greece. Eventually, the custom of giving wedding rings...

### Move Over Diamonds - Moissanite Is a Girl’s New BFF


Moissanite, the gemstone “born from the stars,” takes its name from the French chemist Henri Moissan, who discovered it back in 1893 at the site of a crater created by a gigantic meteor strike. The crater is located in Northern Arizona and is called Meteor Crater. When it hit earth approximately 50,000 years ago, fragments of it that contained minute quantities of Moissanite were scattered across the desert, leaving behind a mineral that is literally “out of this world. ” When Moissan first discovered it, he thought he’d found diamonds. It wasn’t until 11 years later that he learned that he had discovered a completely new mineral. Meteor Crater from meteorcrater. com/info/ Moissanite But what exactly is Moissanite? In its naturally occurring form, Moissanite is composed of silicon carbide, a byproduct of carbon and silicon and one of the rarest and scarcest minerals on earth. It has only been found in a few deposits worldwide. And while Shefa Yamim, the same exploration and mining company that discovered Carmeltazite, a rare oxide mineral, also discovered 2500 crystals of natural Moissanite in Israel over the last 14 years, Moissanite is still exceedingly rare. Because of its scarcity, almost all Moissanite today is lab-created. Lab-created Moissanite is a form of crystalline silicon carbide and was engineered specifically to look like a diamond. In fact, it is widely used as a diamond simulant and unless you are shopping specifically for natural Moissanite, the Moissanite you see for sale in jewelry is synthetic. Today Moissanite...

### Peridot - One of Three August Birthstones


"Wear a Peridot or for thee, No conjugal fidelity, The August born without this stone, 'Tis said must live unloved, alone" It may surprise you to learn that August has three birthstones: sardonyx, spinel, and peridot. Sardonyx is the original August birthstone with peridot and spinel added later. Spinel didn't become an August birthstone until 2016! Yet, perhaps because of its vivid and distinct green color or because it is so rare to find on the Earth's surface, or simply because it maintains its color so well, peridot has become August's primary gemstone. How to buy Peridot If you're looking for August birthstone jewelry and have decided on the peridot, or simply love its beautiful lime-green hue, there are a few things to keep in mind: The finest peridots have no inclusions visible to the naked eye (although you might see some dark spots if viewed through a microscope). The highest-quality peridots are a lime-green color without any traces of brown or yellow. Smaller peridot sizes are relatively affordable, but larger stones get expensive. Peridot has a very high double refraction (refraction is the bending of light as it passes in or out of a gem; the higher the refraction index, the higher the stone's brilliance), so a good way to check if it is real is to hold it against a light. If there is no double refraction, it is most likely fake. Peridots look best with yellow or rose gold metals rather than white metals like white gold....

### Your Jewelry Has Health Benefits!


For centuries, cultures around the world have believed in the health and healing powers of jewelry. As it turns out, there is scientific evidence to support this belief; gold, for example, is more than just aesthetically pleasing or capable of elevating your look and mood. Gold can also promote good health. It is a non-toxic, all-natural mineral that provides a variety of health benefits, is easily tolerated by the body, and produces no undesirable effects from interactions with drugs. Promotes Cellular Generation In fact, today gold has many medical uses. Colloidal gold, which consists of microscopic particles of gold suspended in water, is a good example of gold’s proven health benefits. Several studies, such as the research in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health show that colloidal gold, also known as nanogold, acts as a natural stimulant for our bodies’ cells, boosting cellular turnover and rejuvenation. The tiny gold particles in colloidal gold are able to penetrate through cell membranes, also making them useful for delivering drugs and for providing relief for different health disorders. Anti-inflammatory properties Gold also has anti-inflammatory properties, and according to clinicaladvisor. com, is used to relieve joint pain and inflammation caused by arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, and tendinitis. Indeed, the National Center for Biotechnology said that gold therapy as a treatment for progressive rheumatoid disease has been around for years. Furthermore, clinicaladvisor. com reports that the research originally directed at using gold to treat rheumatoid arthritis evolved to show its potential treatment...

### Discover June Birthstone Jewelry


Back in 1912, when the National Association of Jewelers of America met to standardize birthstones, June was assigned “just” two birthstones: pearl and moonstone.

### Men’s Jewelry Trends Just in Time for Father’s Day 2021


Men’s jewelry fashion tends to have its ups and downs, but lately, it seems to be flourishing, with more men experimenting with jewelry than ever before. Whether this change is due to a blurring of the lines between feminine and masculine fashion, advances in jewelry-making technology, streetwear influences, or just a gradual and natural shift in fashion, jewelry is becoming an increasingly mainstream accessory for men. We thought this Father’s Day would be the perfect time to take a look at emerging trends in men’s jewelry. After all, you might think the men in your life aren’t ready to wear jewelry yet, but they may surprise you... .

Today’s hot trends in men’s rings include stackable rings, pinkies, chunky bands, signet rings, mixed metal rings, antique rings with baroque or enamel designs, antique-looking rings with unpolished finishes, and more ostentatious designs with gemstones.

### 10 Gorgeous Birthstone Jewelry Pieces for May


One of the most sought after and revered gemstones in the world, the striking and richly beautiful emerald is May’s birthstone. Along with rubies, sapphires, and diamonds, emeralds are one of the four recognized precious gemstones. However, while we usually think of diamonds as the rarest of the precious stones, emeralds are actually rarer and often more expensive than diamonds. Emeralds are also a more fragile stone and are harder to cut, so they should be cut strategically to ensure that their natural fissures don’t surface or appear at the emerald’s corners. Additionally, emeralds are usually oiled to fill in their fractures and to enhance their appearance, but the oiling in no way affects their value. Emerald Coloring Emeralds are a type of beryl which get their striking green coloring from chromium, and unlike diamonds, usually have inclusions. In fact, if you find an emerald without inclusions, it’s most likely a synthetic emerald. The name ‘emerald’ comes from the Greek word ‘smaragdus’, which means green, although emeralds don’t just come in one shade of green; they come in a striking array of green hues from deep, darkish green to bluish green, soft green, grass green, and light green. Emerald Durability Even though they are a durable stone, emeralds chip and crack more easily than diamonds, so setting them adds to the expense of emerald jewelry. Despite this, many consider it the ultimate luxury jewelry. Indeed from emerald engagement rings to emerald pendants, earrings and more, emerald jewelry is breathtaking. Take...

### Diamonds Are Forever - April’s Birthstone


Diamonds, one of nature’s most rare and beautiful creations, do not display all of their splendor when they are in their rough stone form. They must be professionally cut and polished before you can see their breathtaking elegance. They are made of carbon and are formed under extreme temperatures and pressure, which creates crystal formations from their carbon atoms. Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth and are brought to the earth via very deep-seated volcanic eruptions. It is precisely this difficult journey to the surface that makes diamonds so rare; most don’t survive the voyage. People born in the month of April are lucky enough to call the diamond their birthstone. The Diamond Birthstone Like other gemstones, the diamond represents one of the 12 sun signs in the Zodiac. The diamond is said to correspond with April’s sun sign, Aries, because both Aries and diamonds share the same characteristics: they are both independent, resolute, courageous and optimistic. Astrologers believe that wearing a diamond birthstone will bring abundance, balance, and clarity. In 1912, the American National Association of Jewelers published a verifiable List of Birthstones and officially listed the diamond as the April birthstone. Proponents of crystal healing believe that diamonds reduce emotional pain and stimulate creativity, innovation, and imagination. Diamonds for Birthstone Jewelry AND Engagement Rings! While diamond rings are traditionally given as engagement rings, as an April baby, your birthstone gives you another good reason to wear diamonds. Of course, diamond jewelry is beautiful for anyone at...

### On the Hunt for Easter Jewelry?


Come Sunday, April 4th, many people across the world will be celebrating the Easter holiday, one of the most important holidays in the Christian calendar. The many different Easter traditions around the world are beautiful, special and interesting, but we thought it would also be beautiful, special, and interesting to take a look at some of the well-known symbols of Easter as jewelry. We had fun with this. Hope you do too!

### A guide to choosing a jeweler


Fine jewelry is an important investment so it’s usually not an item that we purchase spontaneously; we put thought and care into choosing the piece we want, how we want it, and when we want to make our purchase. Part of that process means finding the right jewelry store. And like any significant purchase, where you buy is important. Jewelry stores offer different options, sales, services, and levels of expertise. Today, there are premium online jewelry stores too, so it’s not just about finding the best ‘jewelry stores near me’. It’s what the store offers its clients that’s important. With that in mind, today's post provides some helpful tips about what to look for in a jewelry store. Finding the Best Jewelry Store for You First, there are the basics that you need to discover; important, but intuitive information you should find out about a jewelry business, whether it’s a brick-and-mortar or online store. Things like reputation and reviews. Does the store have a positive reputation? Has someone recommended it to you? What are the reviews about the store saying? How long has it been in business? Getting the answers to these questions can give you an idea of a store’s reliability, work quality, and service. Obviously, you want a store with consistently good marks. Consistent positive reviews are better than erratic reviews that range from excellent to awful. The Jewelers Another important, but basic measure... the jeweler or jewelers on staff.

### Creating a Matching Wedding Band for Your Engagement Ring.


Do you need to creating a matching wedding band for your engagement ring? Generally, it’s the engagement ring, not the wedding ring, that is the center of attention on your ring finger. Engagement rings typically have at least one large center stone, often surrounded by smaller stones. That make them grander and more impressive than the more simple and subtle wedding band. That’s not to say, however, that wedding bands shouldn’t and can’t be fabulous. After all, while the engagement ring might signify a promise of marriage, the wedding band signifies the actual commitment. And that’s why most newly engaged couples want to find a wedding band that is not just beautiful but also a perfect match to the engagement ring. But that isn’t always so simple. In fact, there is a lot to consider when you’re trying to find the perfect match. With that in mind, today we take a look at how to find a wedding ring that will match your engagement ring.

### Want the Diamond Engagement Ring of Your Dreams? Start With the Setting


Choosing an engagement ring is simultaneously exciting and intimidating. Which gemstone should my ring have? How many should it have? What shape should they be? Which precious metal do I want? What style should I choose? Modern? Vintage? Classic? So many questions! You probably didn’t even think of half of them before you started shopping around. Setting style, for example, is a very important feature of an engagement ring because it enhances the beauty and brilliance of the diamond. But what exactly is setting style? Keep reading to learn more about this important jewelry feature. What Is Setting Style? The setting style refers to the way the metal base holds a gemstone or diamond in place. It is in fact, one of the most defining characteristics of an engagement ring and affects not just its appearance, but also how large or small the stone appears. The most common engagement ring diamond setting styles are described below: Prong - The prong setting, aka the claw setting, typically secures the diamond in place with 4-6 metal prongs extending up from the ring’s basket. This setting also lets more light enter the stone. It is the most common and classic setting. Pear-shaped engagement rings look beautiful with a prong setting. Flower style engagement ring with a prong setting Basket - Similar to the prong setting, in that it allows for maximum light to pass through the diamond and that it secures the stone in place with 4 prongs.

### Diamond Cuts and Diamond Shapes: Differences, Types, Importance


"The 4Cs of diamond" - such a well-known phrase that even if you don’t know anything about diamonds, you’ve at least heard of the phrase. The 4Cs refer to cut, color, clarity, and carat weight; they are the most important characteristics of a diamond to understand and consider when making a diamond purchase. Today’s post looks at diamond cuts. Diamond Cuts vs Diamond Shapes Contrary to what many assume, the cut of a diamond does not refer to shape, such as round or oval diamonds. Cut is about a diamond's symmetry, proportions, and polish. Shape, on the other hand, has to do with the diamond's overall form (round, heart, oval, etc. ,). Cut also directly impacts a diamond’s beauty, brilliance, and of course, appearance. Thus, when shopping for diamond jewelry of any kind, for example engagement diamond rings, it’s particularly important to pay attention to the diamond’s cut. Types of Cuts There are essentially two types of diamond cuts: brilliant and step. Brilliant cut diamonds are rough diamonds that were cut and polished in a form that gives them exceptional brilliance; they have mostly triangular or kite-shaped facets that radiate from their center whereas step-cut diamonds have a square or rectangular shape with long, narrow, parallel facets. Cut well, a diamond will be luminous; cut poorly it will be dull. Why Shape Matters Although the cut of a diamond is considered its most important quality, a diamond’s shape can also have an impact on how well light is reflected and...

### How to Make the Diamond on Your Engagement Ring Look Bigger


“Give me the smallest diamond you have” said no bride-to-be ever. No, most of us want a diamond that not only has a beautiful cut, color, and clarity, but also a large carat weight, which is mainly determined by the size of the diamond. And we want all that while staying within our budget. A little work around for this dilemma is to make your diamond look bigger than it actually is. The tips below can help you do that. In fact they’re commonly suggested for people who are shopping for engagement diamond rings and want to get the best quality diamond rings without breaking the bank. Go Oval The elongated shapes such as oval, marquise or emerald make diamonds look larger than they really are because they have more mass at the top of the diamond (also called the table) and they take up more real estate on the finger itself. All of this gives the appearance of a stone that is larger than it really is. An added bonus? Oval-shaped diamonds are also less expensive than the more common-shaped, round diamonds. Oval center stone in simple claws Slim Band and Slim Prongs Selecting a more delicate, slim band and slim prongs for your diamond is another way to make your diamond look bigger. The comparison between the diamond and the metal helps enlarge the appearance of the diamond. This also applies to the number of prongs; the more prongs there are, the more metal there will be, which...

### Beautiful Organic Bee Brooch Demonstrates the Benefits of Online Jewelry Platforms


Buying jewelry is an experience that should be anticipated and enjoyed, but it’s not necessarily easy. Doing your ‘jewelry stores near me’ search, deciding which of those stores to shop at and then driving to them to do your due diligence and compare the products and services offered can be exhausting and even overwhelming. Undoubtedly, those are some of the reasons why online jewelry platforms for fine jewelry have become so popular. But there are other even more important reasons... No Crowds When you’re shopping at a bricks and mortar store, looking at the merchandise, getting assistance and even paying for your purchase can all become a nuisance if there are too many other shoppers at that store at the same time, especially during the holidays. Even parking becomes an issue. All of this goes away when you shop online. Plus, you don’t have to wait for opening hours. With online platforms, you can visit, browse, and order whenever it’s convenient for you.

### Happy Birthday November Babies - You've Got Two Birthstones


November has two beautiful birthstones: Topaz and Citrine. Both come in a range of colors, with citrine coming in orange, yellows, and greenish and brownish yellows and topaz coming in an even greater variety of colors from brown, blue, green, and yellow to orange, red, pink, and purple. Both stones are so beautiful, it’ll probably be hard to choose which one you want, so why not have one of each? Keep one in your jewelry box while you wear the other or wear them both at the same time! An Intro to Topaz Topaz comes in a magnificent range of colors that includes blue, brown, gold, orange, pink, red, yellow and clear. These colors are caused by impurities or defects in the stone's crystal structure rather than its chemical composition. Most blue topaz, however, while occasionally but rarely occurring naturally, is usually just clear topaz that has been treated in a laboratory. The most prized Topaz color is imperial topaz. Imperial topaz has a brilliant, lustrous orange color with pink undertones. Topaz is a relatively hard stone and is pretty resistant to scratching, but it can be chipped or cracked, so when you wear this beautiful stone, take care to protect its edges. And Citrine Too Citrine comes in beautiful yellow, orange and reddish tones with stones with the most intense colors being the most valuable. While it resembles yellow topaz, citrine is from the quartz family of gems, which is much more common than topaz. When citrine crystals form...

### Resizing your engagement ring


While resizing an engagement ring is actually a fairly common practice, most people don’t know much about the resizing process so they have a lot of questions if they ever do have to get their ring resized. Today we take a look at the most common questions people ask about resizing their rings and the process it involves. How do you know if your engagement ring needs to be resized? There are four common sense signs that indicate that you need your engagement ring resized: 1) if it doesn’t fit over the knuckle; 2) if it squeezes the finger so tightly that it’s uncomfortable to wear; 3) if it can be spun or turned around the finger while wearing it; and 4) if the ring can slide off the finger. Note that the wrong ring size isn’t the only reason that a ring might slide off the finger, as sometimes the design itself is the problem, but whatever the reason, rings that slide off easily need to be fixed promptly unless you want to risk experiencing that nauseating feeling of losing your engagement ring. And we’re pretty sure no one wants that. On the other hand, why do people need to resize their rings in the first place? Weren’t they the right size when they bought them?

And what better time to learn about men’s jewelry than when Father’s Day is just around the corner? The jewelry... Cufflinks: Yes, men still wear cufflinks in 2020. In fact, they’re an excellent finishing touch to a suit or tux, which is exactly why they're still in style and still popular. Of course, cufflinks aren’t worn on a daily basis; they’re worn to formal occasions and special events and they’re worn with dress shirts that don’t have buttons on the cuff. For the best look, go for classic looking cuffs rather than novelty cufflinks, which go out of style quickly. Fortunately, there are plenty of cufflink types to choose from that can give a suit that extra touch of class such as bullet back, fixed backing or whale back cufflinks. Mens silver and oval gemstone cufflinks Earrings: The key to wearing men’s earrings is to wear them in a way that demonstrates personal style (and not in a way that demonstrates adolescence - unless of course you are an adolescent). It’s also important to know when and...

### Jewelry Finishes and Techniques


Jewelry finishes are an important part of the jewelry design process because they put the final touch on a piece of jewelry and give it its overall look and feel. And like many of the steps in the design process, there are many beautiful options to choose from. Below we take a look at the different jewelry finishes and techniques, describe them and show some examples. Finishes First... There are many different types of finishes available for jewelry that add depth and beauty and of course variety. When you order custom made jewelry, it’s important to understand what they are so you can be as specific and detailed about your order as possible. High polish/high shine: A high polished finish is one where the metal is polished until it is shiny and there are no rough or blurry spots left on the metal’s surface. This is a finish that is commonly used for wedding rings and in fact is one of the most common finishes. The drawback to the polished finish is that it is easily scratched. Pendant with highly polished metal finish. Brushed: A brushed finish has a texture to it, as if it were made with a brush, and it is not shiny. It is similar to a satin finish (see below). Brushed finishes are popular on men’s wedding rings. The type of metal uses, as well as the wire brush, affect the outcome of the final texture. Mens band with brushed texture Hammered: Like it’s name suggests,...

### 8 Ideas for Celebrating Earth Day +  Environmentally Friendly Jewelry


Earth Day is celebrated around the world every year on April 22 and is intended as a way to demonstrate support for our planet and its environment. First celebrated in 1970, April 22, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of this important day, and now over 193 countries participate in Earth Day events. In fact, in 2016 the United Nations chose Earth Day as the day to sign into force the historic Paris Agreement on climate change. When it was first created back in 1970, Earth Day was a way to express a growing public awareness about the state of our planet, and became a launching point for environmental protection measures and laws such as the Clear Air Act, the Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts in the US and even the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Many other countries also followed suit and introduced similar environmental protection laws. Earth Day 2020’s Theme Today, awareness about the health of our planet is greater than ever and many strides have been made in environmental protection, but there is still a great deal of work to be done. With many scientific and environmental organizations arguing that climate change is the greatest environmental threat we are currently facing, climate action was appropriately designated as the theme for Earth Day 2020. This theme highlights both the challenge of climate change as well as the opportunity we have to take action against it. So what can you do to express your support for Earth...

### Engagement Ring Traditions Around the World


The engagement ring, that long-established symbol of betrothal and commitment, has ancient and varied roots, but is believed to have originated in ancient Egypt where a ring was meant to symbolize everlasting love between spouses. Whatever its origins, engagement rings have long since become a global custom, albeit with cultural adaptations, symbolizing betrothal between two people. Indeed, today there are many beautiful and different traditions and practices around the world in relation to engagement rings. With that in mind, here’s a look at some different engagement ring customs from around the world. Take some time to browse a bit and see which ones appeal to you most. And who knows? Perhaps you’ll be inspired to incorporate one of the traditions listed here into your own custom-made engagement ring. Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Peru, Venezuela and other Latin American countries In many regions of Latin America the custom is for the bride and groom to both give each other rings that they wear on their right hand until the day of the wedding. Once married, they symbolically move their ring to their left hand and wear it there as their wedding ring from then on. There are other interesting traditions too. For example, in Argentina both the bride and groom wear a silver engagement ring until they get married and then switch that ring for a gold band on their wedding day. Diamond engagement rings are not popular in Argentina. Traditional engagement/wedding ring in Latin America France Unlike the USA, where...

### How to clean your jewelry - especially during COVID-19


As the new Covid-19 pandemic continues to accelerate, public health officials regularly and rightly remind us to wash our hands more frequently, and for at least 20 seconds each time we wash. Even if we are indoors all day, but just step out to bring the mail in or pick up a package that has been left at the door, or have just made a dash to the supermarket, we need to wash our hands immediately after. One area often overlooked in these reminders, however, is what we should do about our jewelry. It seems clear that, given the extraordinary circumstances we are all living in, we should take all precautions possible to help stop the spread of Covid-19, which means cleaning our jewelry too. Yet, questions remain as to how to clean it, how often to clean it, what to clean it with, and if we should take it off to clean. These are important questions because knowing the correct way to wash our jewelry, helps us correctly follow health protocols. It will also prevent us from accidentally damaging a beloved piece of jewelry because we didn’t wash it properly. Indeed, with all the uncertainty and disappointing news everyday, we don’t need cause for more disappointment. With that in mind, we’ve created this brief post on how to properly wash your jewelry along with a brief explanation as to why it’s important to do it this way.

### The Difference between Custom and Mass-Produced Jewelry


Jewelry says a lot about the person wearing it and for most people, jewelry has emotional as well as financial value. However, as meaningful and valued as jewelry is, not everyone understands all that goes into creating it. This is especially true with regards to mass-produced and custom-made jewelry and the differences between them. With that in mind, today’s post explores and explains exactly what those differences are. A basic definition Mass produced jewelry is produced in large volumes in an ongoing process, and creates identical pieces. The designs are typically based on trends in the marketplace, so that they have popular appeal, but they are not made with the individual’s tastes or style in mind. In contrast, custom-made jewelry takes into account the individual’s tastes and specific jewelry vision. They are usually one-of-a-kind pieces. People who wear custom jewelry know that their jewelry is uniquely their own; no one else has the same piece. Custom jewelry can cater to specific tastes in gemstones and metals and can even use the stones or metal from previous pieces. Also, don’t make the mistake of confusing custom-made jewelry with jewelry that has a “customized finish” . Jewelry with a customized finished is when the producer lets you customize the production, by choosing different metals or stone colors or by adding a personal engraving, but the design itself is not customized. Truly custom-made jewelry is designed, not just produced, solely for you. Image of rings with a customized finish where you can choose...

### Carmeltazite: A Unique, New Gemstone


It’s not everyday that someone discovers a new gemstone, but that’s exactly what happened in 2019 when Israeli mining company, Shefa Yamim, discovered a mineral, previously known only to exist in rocks from outer space, in the Mount Carmel region of Israel. The new gem is named Carmeltazite after the location where it was found and the names of its major components, which are titanium, aluminum and zirconium. Image from Shefa Gems gallery Described by the Times of Israel as a “milky mix of dark and light blues”, carmeltazite , which is similar to rubies and sapphires in its chemical composition and appearance, but also quite distinct from them, is truly breathtaking. It’s also rare, according to Shefa Yamim, which plans to market the new mineral as ‘Carmel sapphire”. Carmel sapphire has already been recognized and approved as a new mineral by the International Mineralogical Association ("IMA") Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification and Shefa Yamim claims that it has already received a trademark from the Israeli Government to market the stone. What's more, as it’s not clear just how large the deposits of carmeltazite are, Forbes. com reported that the new gem could even be more valuable than diamonds, since the price of gemstones are usually based on their rarity. Indeed Shefa Yamim has already collaborated with well-known jewelry designer, Yossi Harari, to create jewelry pieces with the gemstone. Fortunately, you don’t have to possess carmeltazite to have beautiful jewelry. There are many gorgeous gemstone options, styles, designs,...

### Sentimental Gold and More


All that glitters... “All that glitters is not gold” - most of us are familiar with this old adage, which means that not everything that looks beautiful really is. Real gold, however, really is beautiful. It’s shiny, bright, elegant, and valuable. Still, not all gold is created equal. Today’s post looks at different types of gold, (not the different gold colors -that’s a topic for another blog). Rather, it looks at the different categories of gold. Starting with sentimental gold... Sentimental gold. Sentimental or personal gold is all about the meaning we’ve attached to the gold because of its association with a certain time or event, or a special place, or a loved one. For many people the emotional worth of sentimental gold far exceeds its financial worth. In fact, it is not uncommon for people who possess sentimental gold, whether it’s part of a damaged piece of jewelry or just used in a piece of jewelry that doesn’t suit their tastes, to ask jewelers to design and create a new piece of jewelry that uses the gold from the original jewelry piece. CAD jewelry design and production is particularly suited to this type of request because of its customization capabilities. If you’re curious about how this customization process works, feel free to read our success story about an heirloom jewelry piece. Eco-friendly gold. - Next we have eco-friendly gold, which as the name suggests, is a more environmentally friendly way to mine for gold. With eco-friendly gold, the mining...

### The Rundown on Natural vs Lab-Grown Diamonds


Lab-grown, or synthetic, diamonds are a fairly new phenomenon. The technology for them was developed in the 1960s by the International Diamond Laboratory, but it has continuously improved since then. Today, lab-grown diamonds are larger and better than ever before. In fact, in 2016, a 3-carat lab-grown diamond was graded by the international grading laboratory – Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Then, in 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) expanded the definition of diamonds to include those created in labs. Clearly, lab-grown diamonds have come a long way since their beginnings. Indeed, if you’ve gone shopping for diamond jewelry recently, you may have noticed an option to buy lab-grown diamonds along with other gemstone options. Some of you may have also hesitated about your purchase because you didn’t know the difference, or if the difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds is even significant. That’s what today’s post is about: a look at the differences and similarities, and pros and cons of lab grown and natural diamonds. First, how they’re different Of course, both are real diamonds. The difference is in how they are formed. Natural diamonds were created billions of years ago by forces deep within the earth and brought up to the surface of the earth by volcanic activity. They are mined from rock called ‘kimberlite’ but only about 5% of kimberlite rocks have enough diamonds to make them economically worth mining. On the other hand, lab-grown diamonds, also known as man-made, are created in the laboratory, and there...

### Something Special for Animal Lovers


There’s no denying the bond that can develop between animals and humans. Pet owners see their pets as part of their family. And with good reason; the devotion, loyalty and affection that pets offer earns them that love. Many of us here at Jewelrythis are pet owners too, so we totally understand this sentiment, which is why we’re especially pleased to be able to create customized pet pendants. They’re a very sweet way to preserve memories of our cherished furry friends. Here’s how we create these beautiful and sentimental jewelry pieces: We start by creating a 3D model of the pendant based on your photo(s). Our CAD artist will carve a model, same way a sculpture does, and will show it to you for approval before we produce it. Our artists are very skilled and can design different pets, including birds and even fish, and we can design just your pet’s face or its whole . Another option that many of our clients request is cremation jewelry. This is where we include an area inside the pendant that can hold hair or ashes from your pet and then be sealed inside the pendant, so you can feel like your pet is always with you. Tattoo jewelry is another way to pay tribute to loved ones in a personal yet less permanent way. The charming bunny pendant below is a great example of one of our special pet pendants: If you’d like to know more about this special and endearing jewelry,...

### Jewelry Trends in 2019 vs Jewelry Trends in 2020: What's in, what's out


There are so many different types of jewelry and jewelrys styles available today, we thought it might be fun to take a look at the jewelry styles of 2019 vs the jewelry styles of 2020 to see how styles can change or transform in just one year. Indeed, as with all fashion, some jewelry trends are short term and explode onto the scene for a short time, never to return, while others get recycled as newer more hip or updated versions of the original trend. Let’s take a look at 2019 and 2020 jewelry trends to see what’s out and what’s in this year. 2019... Mismatched earrings - This style isn’t for everyone, but it was trendy in 2019 and it looks like it’ll continue to be trendy in 2020 as well. It’s not always easy to get this look right, so some people opt for ready made mismatches rather than choosing them on their own. If you want to have fun and do it yourself though, pair a large statement earring with a smaller, more subtle style earring. Ruby and emerald set silver drop earrings Pearls - Here’s an example of a classic style that may waver a little in popularity, but it’s a style that most jewelry lovers see as always appropriate, always fashionable, and always beautiful. Take for example, last year’s pearl jewelry, which featured different colored pearls, pearl hoops, pearl cuffs, pearl hair clips and more. This year’s pearl jewelry style, on the other hand, will...

### Jewelry Photography - 10 Tips for Taking Beautiful Photographs of Your Jewelry


Whether you’re wearing your jewelry or trying to sell it, you’ll want your jewelry photographs to be beautiful and to show your jewelry in its best light, but photographing jewelry isn’t as easy as one would think it would be. However, neither is it all that complicated; there are techniques you can follow for taking fabulous photos of jewelry. We’ve listed some of them below. Clean and polish. Easily forgotten, but very important to beautiful jewelry photography, is cleaning and polishing your jewelry piece. The camera, for better or for worse, picks up on details that the naked eye misses, including dust, fingerprints, grit, etc. To showcase your jewelry in the best possible way, make sure it’s properly cleaned and polished (feel free to read our tips for cleaning and polishing your jewelry). In fact, we suggest lightly wiping your jewelry every time you touch it to avoid fingerprints and other smudges. You might even want to wear a pair of cotton gloves when handling your jewelry. Use the right lens. Specifically, use a macro lens, so you can take up-close photos that reveal all the glorious details of your jewelry. A standard lens won’t capture the minute details and complexities of your jewelry that a macro lens can capture. While these lenses don’t come cheap, if you want excellent photos, you’ll need one. Don’t over do the background. The background should complement, not detract from the jewelry. Avoid colorful and active backgrounds. Rather, keep it simple, but put thought...

### The most common questions we get asked about bespoke jewelry


How do I explain or describe the jewelry piece that I want designed? What do you need from me? You need to translate your jewelry idea to something that your jeweler is able to envision too, and this is usually done with a sketch or photo. Sketches and photos don’t have to be perfect or exact, but you do need to provide your jeweler with something that will convey your jewelry vision. Tip: If you’re not sure about what you want, we suggest that you perform a Google search for similar pieces. Look for different ideas and styles that match your tastes. You can save photos, and use them as a guide to explain exactly what you want. How is the price of a bespoke jewelry piece determined? Several factors are taken into consideration when determining the price of a custom jewelry piece such as the complexity of the design, the types of metals used, the types of gemstones used, and the finish. It’s a good idea to share your budget with the jeweler so that he can offer you different production options to match your budget. For example, you might decide to use man made diamonds instead of natural diamonds, or go with smaller gemstones rather than larger, more costly gems. Keep in mind, that sometimes it can be difficult to give a quote on a piece before the design is ready, especially if the design uses a lot of gems or gold. In this case, a common practice...

### 15 Winter Holiday Marketing Ideas for Jewelers


According to the National Retail Federation, the winter holiday shopping season accounts for about 30% of many stores’ annual sales! That’s a significant percentage! One that surely makes retail businesses keen to take advantage of this season. But just how do you take advantage of this hot sales season? As a jewelry retailer, how do you capture consumers’ attention with all the other jewelry stores out there trying to do the same thing? Well, that’s what this article is all about. Below are 15 marketing ideas for making your jewelry business stand out and for promoting your sales during the holidays. Holiday branding. As the winter holidays approach, you can help put your business and customers in the holiday spirit with special holiday branding. Change your logo to something more Christmasy, for example, or your social media profile to something that reflects the winter holidays. The cost of making these changes is negligible especially when we consider that they can be reused the next time the holidays come around. Plus, it’s easy to revert back to the regular logos and branding images after the holidays are over. Visuals. Styles and fashion, whether for hair, clothing, jewelry, etc. , are all about visual appeal, which means your jewelry must be displayed in its best light.

### How to Buy Jewelry for Christmas: A personal story


Most everyone will agree that Christmas is one of the loveliest times of year; feelings of good cheer and charity are palpable, and warmth, kindness, and sweet traditions abound. Gift-giving is one of those sweet traditions with fine jewelry being one of the most popular Christmas gifts of all to give and to receive... especially bespoke fine jewelry. Bespoke jewelry takes ‘specialness’ to a whole new level as it is not only special because it is one-of-a-kind; it’s also special because it is designed from a special place in the heart. Today, because of CAD (computer aided design) jewelry design and production, beautiful, bespoke jewelry is more within your reach than ever before. But it’s not just about beauty. There are other benefits too. When you work with expert CAD jewelry designers, you’ll find that there is greater design flexibility, better precision and accuracy, and if desired, more design complexity. The icing on the cake is that you can get all this without a bump in your price or a sacrifice in quality. Indeed, sometimes you can even save money by choosing exactly what you want rather than just ordering from the in-stock jewelry. Elizabeth's personal jewelry design journey demonstrates what’s so great about CAD jewelry design and why it can create the perfect holiday gift. A jewelry journey Elizabeth had a unique jewelry vision in mind; she wanted a bow style ring with an ‘antique vibe’ setting atop a beautiful split shank and adorned with plenty of accent stones....

### Jewelry Tools for Beginners


If you’re a newcomer to the world of jewelry making, the huge variety of jewelry making tools might be a bit overwhelming and make it more difficult to figure out which jewelry making tools you need in order to get started. We feel ya - everyone here at Jewelrythis has been at that point in their career at one time or another. To help you over the hurdle, we’ve created a ‘Jewelry Tools 101’ list of the basic tools that every jeweler needs to get started. Let’s take a look: 1. The jeweler’s loupe. The jeweler’s loupe is essentially a small, folding, magnifying glass that, like a standard magnifying glass, allows the jeweler to see details more clearly. The difference between a loupe and a magnifying glass, however, is that loupes offer more intense magnification and thus provide a more detailed view. In this sense, a loupe can be considered a specialized magnifying glass. While there are simple loupes made with a single lens, they are usually of poor quality and tend to obscure the object you’re viewing as well as affect its coloring. Therefore, professional jewelers use a triplet loupe, which has three lenses placed in a specific way so that any distortions or color problems are corrected. How you use a loupe is important too. Loupes should be held between the thumb and forefinger of one hand with the object you want to view held between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. The loupe should then...

### How to Choose a Jewelry Box: 5 Helpful Tips


While we totally agree that it’s much better to wear your fine jewelry as often as possible rather than keep it tucked away only to be worn on special occasions, there are times when you simply shouldn’t wear it, such as in a swimming pool where chlorine can cause damage, or in very cold weather, which can cause your fingers to shrink and make it easier for your rings to slip off, or while gardening where abrasive rocks and dirt can scratch jewelry, or even when your performing strenuous activity that can cause you to sweat, which can also damage jewelry, especially sterling silver. During those times, it’s best to take your jewelry off and store it in a safe place. Hopefully, you have a jewelry box for that purpose. Jewelry boxes, which are usually bought based solely on how they look, should also be able to protect your jewelry from damage; they should both flatter your jewelry and protect it. With that in mind, here are 5 tips for how to choose a jewelry box. First, to whom are you planning to give this jewelry box? To yourself? A child? An adult? A family member,or a special friend? Children, for example, often love lighted or musical jewelry boxes. They are charming and make for lovely keepsakes. They’re also very suitable for children’s jewelry. (And if you need a little help with buying jewelry for children, check out this article about what jewelry to buy and not buy for children)....

### Leather and Jewelry: A Gorgeous Combination


As a fashion accessory, jewelry can not only make an outfit, it can also change an outfit, giving it different looks for different occasions. One reason for this is that jewelry itself comes in many different styles, designs, and materials. For example, jewelry can be made from gold, silver, and other precious metals, amber, beads, coral, enamel, gemstones, shells, and leather. Leather, in particular, has great versatility and can be incorporated into jewelry designs in beautiful ways that provide a fresh, classy, and current look. Indeed leather looks well incorporated into many different types of jewelry including necklaces, earrings, anklets, and bracelets. So just how can you incorporate leather into jewelry designs? While leather looks lovely in many different combinations and in many types of jewelry pieces, let’s take a look at bracelets to start with, as leather bracelets never seem to go out of style and are popular among women and men. Here are just a few design examples for inspiration: plaited bracelets subtly detailed with beads, knotted leather bracelets with amber accents, leather cuff bracelets with gemstones, bracelets made from a gold chain and leather chain twisting around each other, leather wrap bracelets paired with pearls and so much more. Leather Types The trick is to know which leather types work for bracelets and to have enough of a variety so that you can freely incorporate the leather into your designs. For example, round leather is great for wrap bracelets, flat leather works well for cuff bracelets, suede...

### Investing in Jewelry: 5 Things You Need to Know


Considering investing in jewelry? Not sure where or how to get started? Like any investment, investing in jewelry can have its risks, but also like any investment, it can have its payoffs too. Buying jewelry can be a wise investment on both a personal and business level. However, also, like any investment, using sound judgement means learning the fundamentals and basics of what you’re about to invest in before you invest. Towards that end, here are 5 helpful tips for investing in jewelry. Look at the materials used for the jewelry, specifically the quality of the diamonds and the percentage of gold used. Although it may fluctuate, gold’s value remains relatively high over time. However, be aware that pieces made with less than 14K gold are not considered fine jewelry and therefore don’t make for good investment prospects. Diamonds too are an important consideration. Like gold, diamonds can be used to recreate new pieces, which helps them retain their value. Many people, for sentimental reasons, will have new jewelry custom made using the gemstones, typically diamonds, from an heirloom piece or a piece with emotional value. In addition to the relative ease with which they can be used in a new piece of jewelry, the size and quality of a diamond also contributes to a diamond’s ability to retain its value. Look for large, high-grade diamonds with strong clarity and fewer flaws. High-quality colored diamonds or diamonds in an unusual color also tend to increase in value over time because...

### Hidden Connectors: A hidden jewelry technique


Most of us just enjoy wearing and looking at jewelry, and seldom stop to think about the artistry and work behind it, or the techniques and experience required to design and create beautiful jewelry. Yet, jewelry is an art with special tools, special terminology, and special techniques all its own. One very special jewelry technique involves making the connectors that join the different parts in a piece of jewelry “invisible”. These “invisible” connectors, as the name suggests, are hidden; we can’t see them connecting the different parts of the jewelry, but they are there just the same. The fact that we can’t see these connectors is not the only reason they are hidden, though. Jeweler’s typically have their own techniques for creating hidden jewelry connectors, and they often have to engineer them anew for each new piece of jewelry, making the technique almost proprietary. In fact, jewelers are often reluctant to share the process they’ve developed for creating hidden connectors. The best way to learn about them is to study antique jewelry. Goldsmiths from the past excelled at creating hidden connectors and there are many beautiful examples of antique jewelry that use hidden connectors in their design. Today, we see hidden connectors used primarily by fine jewelry companies such as Van Cleef and Arpels, Tiffany, Cartier etc. You can also examine our jewelry project below where we designed and produced a model of an earring with seven links using invisible connectors. Since the links are quite small, we had to...

### What is the Difference Between Vintage and Antique Jewelry?


While people frequently confuse vintage jewelry with antique jewelry (and vice versa), the two are actually quite distinct, and if you’re looking to buy either type of jewelry, the distinction is quite important as well. Antique Jewelry Antique jewelry must be at least 100 years old and it is most often made of a very high level of craftsmanship as well as high-quality materials. This means, for example, that many Art Deco jewelry pieces from the early 1920s can now be considered antique. Baroque jewelry as well as jewelry from the Edwardian, Georgian and Victorian eras, of course, are also considered antique. While true antique jewelry is actually quite rare and often too valuable to even be worn, you can get antique-style jewelry, that is both beautiful and wearable.

### Fine Jewelry for Everyday Wear


Jewelry is a universal expression of style, taste, and even one’s personal story. It is worn in almost every culture and dates back to the earliest civilizations. Undoubtedly, jewelry design and production techniques have evolved, as have styles and tastes, but our reasons for wearing it are pretty consistent. Why we wear fine jewelry Every piece has a personal story or meaning. Some might commemorate a special occasion or achievement, others once belonged to someone important in our lives, and still others were given to us by someone we hold close to our hearts. Fine jewelry is universal. Wherever you go, people wear, sell and admire jewelry. It intrigues us, inspire us, and captivates us. It reflects the wearer; jewelry reflects our tastes, our artistic style, our fashion sense, and our personalities. Jewelry can complete an outfit - adding that final sense of sophistication and savoir faire. Its elegance can elevate any look. There’s a jewelry piece for every occasion; it can be as formal or informal as you want it to be. Fine jewelry can work with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt as much as it can with a cocktail dress or formal attire. So with all these excellent reasons for wearing fine jewelry, why shouldn’t it be worn every day? 7 pieces that you never need to take off Jewelry that is worn every day and appropriate for every situation should be versatile, taking you from morning to night, occasion to occasion.

### How to Clean Fine Jewelry


Cleaning your fine jewelry at home might seem a little daunting at first, but it’s not as difficult an undertaking as you might think. In fact, most people already have the cleaning items that they will need in their household. And since everyone wants their jewelry to look its best, we’ve provided some pro tips to keep your fine jewelry looking shiny and bright like it should. Cleaning and polishing the metals Some of the most popular precious metals used for jewelry are gold, silver, platinum and titanium. The proper method for cleaning fine jewelry made from these metals is described below: Gold - Mix a little bit of dish soap and a little warm water and then soak your gold jewelry for 4-5 minutes. Gently go over the crevices with a soft toothbrush to remove the dirt and grime that sometimes collects in these areas. When you’re finished, take a dry, soft, and lint-free cloth and carefully buff the jewelry piece dry. Note: If your gold jewelry has begun to tarnish, you can make a mixture of lukewarm water, dish soap and just a few drops of ammonia and carefully use it to clean your jewelry. However, use this mixture sparingly, as overusing on jewelry pieces with gemstones that are embedded in the gold, can cause their settings to loosen. Silver - Like gold, silver can be cleaned by soaking it for a few minutes with a little dish soap and water. After you’ve soaked it, rinse with cool...

### e-Coating A new trend in jewelry design


Whether or not you’ve ever heard of e-coating, you might have seen some attractive jewelry pieces in bright blue, green, or pink metallic finishes being worn by people or displayed in jewelry stores. The technique used to get these colors is called e-coating and it’s one of the trendiest jewelry fashions today. E-coating makes it possible to add nontraditional colors to a metal’s surface without giving an enamel-like finish. (Feature image thanks to Legor. com. ) What is e-Coating? E-coating, aka electro deposition or electro-coating, uses an electrical current to cover a metal surface with an organic lacquer. The technique effectively covers every part of the jewelry piece so that it’s left with an even and consistent coat. E-coating has applications for many industries, including the agricultural, automotive, electronics, heavy equipment industries and more. Different materials are used in the e-coating process depending upon the industry requirements, but for jewelry ceramic and acrylic e-coatings are most frequently used. How is it different from enameling or plating? Unlike enameling, which bakes powdered glass on top of metal, and plating, which uses an electrical conveyance technique to deposit a layer of gold onto the surface of another metal, the e-coating process immerses the jewelry into coating materials such as pigments and resins that have been dispersed in water. An electrical current is then passed through the mix which causes the materials to adhere to the surface of the metal. After the metals are removed from the water solution, they are baked in...

### Can Jewelry be Recycled?


Can Jewelry be Recycled? Jewelry can definitely be recycled. Although it’s not as easy to recycle as regular household items such as newspapers and other paper material. That you just collect the paper from your home and put it in a bin for the recycling truck to pick up in the morning. Recycling your jewelry is more complicated. This is because there are more considerations such as sentimental and financial value, how it’s recycled, where it’s recycled etc. Nonetheless, there are plenty of good reasons to recycle your jewelry rather than to just discard it. Today’s blog takes a look at recycling, re-purposing, and reusing jewelry. Recycling Precious Metals Precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum have a high market value and typically hold that value. In fact, precious metals tend to have a more stable market value than precious stones. To recycle jewelry, the metals can be melted down and made into a new piece of jewelry, or other items. If the jewelry is made from gold or silver, it’s even possible to have it melted down at the jeweler’s bench because gold and silver don’t have high melting temperatures. Although this does work best for simple, unadorned jewelry like wedding bands. Precious metals such as platinum and palladium, on the other hand, have very high melting temperatures. So they require special melting and recasting equipment, making it impractical to do at the jeweler’s bench. However, there are other ways to recycle platinum jewelry such as reusing parts...

### Jewelry for Kids: The Dos and Don'ts


There are many reasons people buy jewelry for children; they might be cultural or religious reasons, or simple, personal reasons such as the desire to mark a birthday or special milestone. Some parents do it because they were inspired by images of celebrity children with jewelry (e. g. , Kylie Jenner’s daughter, Gisele Bundchen’s daughter, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter to name just a few). In spite of the current trendiness of jewelry for children, the practice of giving jewelry to children isn't new. Jewelry for kids has long been a tradition in many cultures around the globe. It has been used to commemorate religious events such as a first communion or baptism, as a talisman to ward off evil or bring good luck, to mark a rite of passage and more. Today, we can also add fashion as one of the many reasons people buy jewelry for kids. However, since safety always has to come first for our children, we can’t just buy any piece of jewelry for them. The jewelry has to be safe for them to wear, stylish, and age-appropriate. This blog discusses important dos and don’ts to follow when buying jewelry for children. The Don'ts Avoid jewelry made from harmful substances. Infants and young children absorb nickel, lead and cadmium more than adults do and this is harmful to their internal organs as well as their skin. For this reason it’s essential to avoid jewelry made from any of these materials. In fact, cheaply made...

### Placeholder Engagement Rings


If you haven’t heard of this growing proposal trend yet, you will soon. Placeholder or stand-in engagement rings are an increasingly popular way to propose marriage and for many good reasons, not the least of which is cost. Given the high cost of weddings, many newly engaged or soon-to-be-engaged couples are looking for smart ways to save. One trend, as we discussed in our previous blog, is to order custom engagement rings. Another is to go with a placeholder or stand-in ring. What are placeholder rings? A placeholder ring is a ring that you wear when you want to get engaged but for whatever reason aren’t yet ready to buy the forever engagement ring. Placeholder rings are typically much less expensive than actual engagement rings. The best part? Nobody knows that your ring isn’t the real deal. How can they help you save? Stand-in rings can be set in less expensive metals like sterling silver and sport cubic zirconia instead of diamonds or other expensive gems. Essentially they make it possible for you to have the look now without breaking the bank to pay for the real engagement ring. What if money isn’t an issue? If you’re one of the lucky few who isn’t concerned about the cost of an engagement ring, a placeholder ring might still be the best way to go particularly if you’re not sure about the style you want to wear. A placeholder ring gives you a chance to take a ring for a test drive;...

### How Smart Engagement Ring Purchases Can Help Offset the Cost of a Wedding


The Cost of Weddings are Astronomical The cost of a wedding in the US now averages over $35,000 according to a CNN Money Report, and while this price tag may not come as a surprise to most people, the dollar amount is still staggering. Spending Less on the Engagement Ring It should also come as no surprise, therefore, that engaged couples today are looking for ways to save money on the cost of their nuptials. One way they’ve found to do this is by spending less on the engagement ring. According to a recent survey by TDAmeritrade, ⅔ of young Americans today believe that the engagement ring should cost less than $2,500. The problem with that, however, is that this amount is actually less than the national average cost of an engagement ring; today the average cost runs $5680. So What Can be Done to Lower the Cost of an Engagement Ring? Now this probably will come as a surprise; one of the most effective ways to cut down on the cost of an engagement ring is to order a custom ring. Custom rings can be less costly because clients work directly with a designer to design exactly what they are looking for. For example, perhaps you want a ½ carat or ¾ carat stone, or a stone taken from a piece of your own jewelry, or a loose stone from inventory; all of these are options that will cut the costs of the engagement ring. Furthermore, when you buy...

### Colored Chains and Necklaces - All the Rage this Year


One of the biggest (and some might argue most fun) fashion trends of this year is big, prominent chain necklaces and bracelets. From classic and vintage to modern and edgy, they come in all different shapes, sizes, styles, colors and iterations. Colored and coated chains are especially trendy, perhaps because there are so many excellent coating processes available that help give the chains a more individualized, unique quality and beauty. The most popular processes are oxidation, colored PVD coating and acrylic coating. Oxidation – Sterling silver jewelry is a favorite for the oxidation process and creates a more fresh and novel look as compared to traditional silver. During oxidation, the silver is exposed to oxygen in a pressurized environment for an extended period of time, which produces a darker, more tarnished and antique look for the jewelry. Depending on the jewelry piece and its style, oxidized silver can give off a timeless, chic, vintage, or classic vibe. Colored PVD Coatings – PVD, which stands for “physical vapor deposition”, is a high-temperature vacuum coating process that deposits a thin, decorative finish on the jewelry piece (or whatever object the process is being applied to). PVD coatings are available in a variety of vivid colors, including metallic and brilliant, decorative finishes. In addition to the numerous color options, PVD also provides a level of protection against wear, corrosion, discoloration, and warping that standard gold plating can’t provide. Plus, depending upon the jewelry piece’s metal base, the PVD coating can result in different...

### Men's Jewelry - Today More is More


If you think you’ve been seeing more men wearing jewelry recently, you’re not mistaken. Men’s jewelry is definitely trending. The trend, driven largely by the growing number of popular male celebrities seen sporting jewelry (think Ryan Gosling, Johnny Depp, Harry Styles, Leonardo DiCaprio etc. ,) has chipped away at the long-held view that jewelry is primarily for women, not men. In fact, whether they’re rings, necklaces, earrings, or bracelets, jewelry is becoming as much an accessory for men as it has been for women all along. So what’s hot in men’s jewelry? Right now, rings seem to be the hottest men’s accessory around the world, with the exception of watches. One big trend we’re seeing in men’s rings is in the type of metal preferred.

### Busting Common Myths about Jewelry Appraisals


Most jewelry store owners offer appraisal services. Most are probably familiar with the occasional customer that requests these services after having their own bad appraisal experience with an unethical jeweler. Or hearing about someone else’s negative experience. These negative experiences can cause the customer to believe a bunch of myths about appraisals. This fuels their doubts about the jeweler and make them hesitant to pay for an appraisal. Below is a look at these common myths, which every jeweler should be prepared to explain to customers who are skeptical about whether they will get an accurate appraisal. Myth 1: – The value of jewelry consistently increases over time Fact: The markets for diamonds, gemstones pearls and precious metals move independently of one another and sometimes decrease in value. The notion that jewelry pieces and diamonds will always increase overtime and are always a sound investment is particularly misleading, since jewelry valuations can fluctuate according to market conditions, exchange rates, metal prices and even fashion trends. Myth 2: Diamonds are the most valuable part of a piece of jewelry Fact: Contrary to popular belief, gold rather than diamonds is what determines the value of the jewelry piece. If a diamond is flawed, its valuation will be affected. Market conditions will also impact its value. Gold has a much more stable value. Myth 3: Stone switching Fact: Sadly, this is a problem. A customer will go into a jewelry store and ask the jeweler for an appraisal or to have a piece...

### Move over Fine Jewelry & Costume Jewelry – There’s a New Kid on the Block...


And it’s Called Demi-fine Jewelry Demi-fine jewelry is a new category of jewelry that blurs the line between fine jewelry and costume jewelry; it fills the gap that used to exist regarding jewelry that is designed with exquisite craftsmanship, but can be purchased at affordable prices. Unlike fine jewelry, which is typically crafted from precious stones and metals and saved for those elegant or special occasions, demi-fine jewelry combines beautiful designs with semi-precious stones and gold or silver plating, and is worn on a regular basis. And unlike costume or fashion jewelry, which is made from lower quality materials and designs, but wearable every day, demi-fine jewelry is longer lasting and of a higher quality. In this way, it borrows aspects from both fine and custom jewelry and the outcome is beautiful, contemporary jewelry at moderate prices. Demi-fine jewelry also leans towards minimalism or simple organic shapes. Often they have classic as well as modern design elements. Organic Stack Ring Here to Stay Nor is demi-fine jewelry just a passing trend. On the contrary, the growing shift toward self-gifting jewelry, the millennial desire for greater uniqueness and individual expression, and the fact that demi-fine jewelry offers buyers a chance to elevate their style at moderate prices, is making demi-fine jewelry the go-to look for a growing segment of the population.

### Jewelry Destination: Athina. Athens, Greece


Greek jewelry in Athens One must only look at Greek jewelry to behold its impressive beauty, its ornateness and geometry, and to see how it compliments the wearer while also standing out on its own, adding an interesting bold design element to any wearer’s ensemble. Greek jewelry can easily be unisex, but you will find statement pieces for all genders to enjoy. Upon visiting Greece, you can observe how the artisans work on the streets (especially outside of the Acropolis) to create pieces from metal, mainly bronze and semi-precious gemstones, that can be hammered or smooth, and result in high-end pieces that catch the Greek sun and sparkle brilliantly, making them appear much more expensive than they are. Handmade Greek jewelry in Athens The most recognizable symbol in Greek and Roman history is the Greek key, which is widely used by fashion companies today, especially by Versace in their logo which also contains the Medusa head. The Greek key symbolizes the river Meander, shown in linear form resembling a labyrinth, as well as eternity and flow. There are many variations of the Greek key. Spirals are just as commonly seen in Greek jewelry as the Greek key (also known as the Greek fret). The Greek key came to prominence during the Geometric period and appeared on pottery and in many Roman villas.

### Copyright Law and "Post-Purchase Confusion"


As if trademarks, and copyright, and patents weren’t confusing enough (we tried to shed a little light on this subject in a recent post, “Can Jewelry Designs be Copyrighted? ”), entering into the legal fray is a new suit filed this year in New York by Van Cleef and Arpels against Nice Ice Fine Jewelers. In the suit, Van Cleef & Arpels are alleging that Nice Ice Fine Jewelers has infringed upon their trademark ‘Alhambra’ jewelry design, by selling jewelry that imitates the Alhambra trade dress. The Alhambra trade dress is described as "a three-dimensional configuration of a jewelry element comprising repeated and equally spaced quatrefoil pieces each of the same size connected by chain links. Each quatrefoil piece has an outer edge that is beaded with an inner portion that is flat. Each quatrefoil piece also has four larger beads positioned at central points within it. The inner portion of the quatrefoil piece is in the color gray for shading purposes only. The chain links shown in broken lines are intended solely to indicate the positioning of the mark and are not part of the mark. " The complaint against Nice Ice Fine Jewelers was made under the Lanham Act and alleges trade dress infringement and unfair competition. What makes the Van Cleef and Arpels v. Nice Ice Jewelers lawsuit interesting? What’s interesting about this particular complaint is that Van Cleef and Arpels are not suing Nice Ice for trying to sell its jewelry as if it were genuine...

### 10 Secrets of Custom Jewelry


1. You don’t need to be a jewelry designer to get a custom jewelry piece designed. Clients looking for custom jewelry don’t actually need to know a thing about jewelry design. All that’s needed is a sketch (and the sketch doesn’t have to be perfect) or a photo of the jewelry piece desired. This is particularly true with CAD jewelry. For example, if you submit your sketch or photo to Jewelrythis, we can turn your jewelry vision into a CAD model that can then be printed, cast and finished. You choose the stones, metals and size for your final piece. 2. You don’t even have to visit a jewelry store to order custom jewelry. Everything can be done online, from submitting your sketch or photo, to choosing your metals, stones, and size, to approving the design by looking at renders of what the final product will look like. It can all be done from the comfort of your own home or office. The finished jewelry is then shipped to you. 3. The customer can be involved every step of the way. With custom jewelry design, there is collaboration and communication between the client and the designer throughout the jewelry creation process. 4. Custom jewelry is more affordable than you think. Because there is no middle man and you are working directly with the designer, prices don’t have to be inflated in order to cover the costs of expenditures on the jewelry (such as inventory, insurance etc. ,). These costs are...

### A History of Jewelry: A Jewelry Timeline


The history of jewelry is both fascinating and surprising. Jewelry is nearly as old as civilization itself and the evolution of jewelry techniques, styles and fashions gives us a fascinating look back into the time periods in which the jewelry was created. Much like the world of art, the world of jewelry has also undergone many changes in style, fashion and creation, changes that continue today. From the earliest, simple sea shells to the intricate beauty and endless possibilities of custom-made CAD jewelry, the timeline shown below presents a general overview of these historical changes in jewelry design. Timeline: 110. 000 - 73. 000 BC - During this time period jewelry was made from dried sea shells and sea shell beads. This is the earliest jewelry known to man. 38. 00 - 2800 BC - Archaeological evidence found in France shows that jewelry beads were made from bone and animal teeth circa 38. 00 BC. Circa 2800 BC, archaeological evidence found in what is now the modern Czech Republic, indicates that jewelry was made from fossilized shells and ivory beads. 4400 BC - During this era we see the production of the oldest known objects made from gold. These objects were made by the ancient Thracian civilization. 5000-30 BC - Around this time we start seeing the use of copper, which starts a new era in jewelry production. In addition, the Badarian culture from Egypt starts using alluvial gold to produce jewelry. And in Southern Egypt, we start to see...

### Piercing Jewelry Isn’t Just for Counter-Culture Anymore


Once perceived as strictly counter culture, body piercing jewelry has slowly been going mainstream. No doubt the growing number of celebrities seen wearing piercing jewelry has influenced this trend (Emma Roberts, Katy Perry, Zayn Malik, Bella Thorne, and Justin Bieber to name just a few). Of course, body piercing is not new; it’s been around for 1,000s of years across many cultures. During the Elizabethan era in Britain, men of nobility often had at least one ear piercing as a sign of their wealth. In certain Middle Eastern cultures, gold nose rings were and are still frequently given as wedding gifts from the groom to the bride, and tongue piercings were a ritual practice among the Aztecs and Mayans. Historically, lip piercings were most commonly seen as a tribal practice in Africa, and in Ancient Egypt navel piercings could only be worn by royalty. Today, however, all types of body piercings have crossed the time and cultural divide with many people using them as a form of personal expression, often combining the piercings with tattoos to create their own unique look. In spite of some of the risks associated with piercing jewelry (e. g. , allergic reactions, pain, infections etc), and its longtime association with underground or subversive cultures, it appears that body piercing jewelry is becoming trendy and will continue to be trendy for the foreseeable future - at least it will according to fashion experts. To explore this trend further, we’ve looked at some of the questions most...

Even the most accomplished jewelry designers sometimes experience creativity fatigue, or loss of inspiration. This is true for most artists in any creative industry. The question is, “how do you rekindle, or if you’re new to the profession, fire up, your creative juices”? Much like any artistic process, finding inspiration and coming up with new design ideas is a personal process, but there are also many things you can do to help that process along. We’ve listed some tried and true tips for doing so below. Of course, we’d love to hear from you if you have any of your own tips to share with us for finding jewelry design ideas. Feel free to add them in the comments box! 1. Look around and let nature inspire you. Many great designers in many different industries have taken their inspiration from nature; from landscape paintings to textiles to jewelry design. To receive inspiration from nature, pay special attention to the shapes, textures and colors you see in natural settings – in plants, animals, rock formations, water etc. Think of nature in motion, note its contrasts, and examine it from different angles to gain new perspectives. You’ll soon start to see the fabulous way that nature can inspire creativity, just like the creative expression in the designs you see below.

### Top 5 Questions about Jewelry Design for 3D Printing (and their Answers):


1. What is the most popular 3D modeling program for jewelry designers? Because every designer, whether a novice or a pro, has different objectives, preferences, and requirements, it would be difficult to point to a single software as being the best one on the market, or as one that is suited to every designer. We can, however, say which ones are the most widely used today. These include Matrix, RhinoGold, JewelCad, and 3Design, with each one having its own strengths. For example, 3Design is considered good for reworking or quickly modifying existing models. For precision and organic modeling, RhinoGold and Matrix are at the top of the list. JewelCad is preferred by some designers because of its suite of powerful, free-form modeling tools. And of course, there are several other excellent 3D modeling programs out there that some designers might find more suitable. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, there is no software out there that is good at everything or good for everyone; the best software to use all boils down to what are the designer’s needs. 2. How long does it take to print a CAD jewelry model? The actual 3D printing of the jewelry piece only takes 1-2 days once the jewelry design has been perfected and decided upon, but the length of time will be affected by the complexity, size and details in the design. The longest step in the 3D jewelry design creation process is in the creation of the design itself via one...

### How to Design a Jewelry Collection


If you’re reading this blog, you’ve already rightly decided that it’s important for your jewelry business to have some jewelry collections. Perhaps you even decided that after reading our blog explaining why it’s important to create a collection. In that post we also gave some ideas for collections. In this post, we’re going to talk about how to actually create a jewelry collection. Before we do that, however, let’s look at what defines a collection: What is a jewelry collection? A jewelry collection is comprised of a group of pieces that share a similar theme, metal, style, element, or feel. For example, shared themes might be geometric, graduation, or earth-themed jewelry. Shared jewelry elements could be shape, texture, or color. A shared style might be Baroque, modern or organic. The idea is that the pieces complement each other and are a natural fit together. They should be created so that clients see them as a whole, rather than as distinct random pieces, but it should still be possible to easily integrate new and complementary pieces into the collection. Ultimately, the goal you’re aiming for is for your collection to be able to define itself. Now for the real question: How do you create a collection? A good way to start designing a jewelry collection is to gather ideas and words that describe the collection that you want to build. Think of words that can tell a story and create a mental image of that story. For example, you might want...

### Our Sincere Wishes for a Happy Holiday Season and a Wonderful New Year


Like most people, as the current year winds down and the New Year draws closer, we here at Jewelrythis like to take the time to reflect on the year not only personally, but professionally too. This year at Jewelrythis, we saw a lot of changes and feel we have a lot to be grateful for. For starters, we proudly and with much anticipation, launched our Producethis service, which lets you use the Jewelrythis platform to produce your own CAD models. All you have to do is upload your model’s STL file using the Producethis service and we’ll cast and finish your model for you. How cool is that? We also added our new STL viewer and measuring tool. Our STL viewer makes it possible for you to view designs before approving them, as well as measure the distance between two points on a model. The viewer even lets you maneuver the design so that it can be seen from different angles. Plus, it can be used to provide feedback to the designer in case any design changes are desired. Both designers and customers are very pleased with how well this tool has improved communication between designer and client. Another welcome addition to Jewelrythis in 2018 was Marissa Pearl. Marissa joined Jewelrythis as our new community manager and she brings with her extensive expertise in jewelry design and gemology. But there’s more. For the first time ever, Jewelrythis sponsored the Miss Russian San Diego contest, held at the California Center for...

### Jewelry Destination: Rome, Italy


The Colosseum - one of Rome's many famed attractions At first glance, Rome can be overwhelming in all of its glory. You may find yourself focusing on its architecture, food, the Vatican City, fashion, the people, not stopping to think that it could be a jewelry (“gioielli” in Italian) hotspot with artisanal designs and traditional pieces waiting to be discovered amongst the chaos of the city. Many of Rome’s jewelers actually studied goldsmithing at Rome’s prestigious jewelry schools and proudly show off their pieces in elaborate window displays. Rings of Rome by Roberta Roselli I was anything but disappointed with my jewelry exploration of Rome. First, I had to get past the tourist shops selling cheap necklaces imported from Asia, and had to question whether hand-blown glass jewelry sold on the street was really Roman or a product of the large number of migrants who now call Rome their home and wish to honor their own culture. Pearls, lapis and chalcedony are a favorite material used by Italians alike that must be discerned from other lower-end imported pieces using similar knock-off materials. Down the vias as small as alleys, next to restaurants and in between beautiful apartments, and living amongst the world-famous ristorantes and tourists, Italians are working on their jewelry benches to create gorgeous pieces that are a combination of ancient technique, raw handmade high-polished findings, and organic shapes and textures. I found a piece I loved that I NEEDED from Roberta Roselli, https://www. instagram. com/argentiajewels/ whose work is...

### Attracting and Selling Jewelry to Millennials: A Major Pain Point for Jewelry Retailers


Selling jewelry is a competitive business, made more challenging by a dynamic industry, advances in technology, and a changing buyer profile. One of the most challenging buyer profiles is the millennial shopper. And since millennial shoppers comprise a market segment that just can’t be ignored, today’s post takes a look at what is unique about millennial shoppers and what jewelry retailers need to know about their shopping habits and preferences in order to woo them successfully. Greater Emphasis on Self-Expression Self-expression is important to millennials, whether that means aligning themselves with a style or brand that they feel represents them, or making sure the jewelry they buy matches their tattoos, or having their jewelry personalized with their initials, they are savvy shoppers and are not content to just buy what their parents and grandparents bought. Millennials want jewelry that makes a statement; that helps them express their own, unique sense of style and fashion. Uniqueness Over Cookie-cutter Jewelry In the same vein, millennials value uniqueness in jewelry over pieces that are mass-produced. This is one reason for the growing popularity of colored gemstones. Their sheer variety of color and type allows for greater uniqueness and expression of one’s individuality. Amethysts, garnets, malachite, opals, sapphires, tanzanite and tourmaline are just a few of the beautiful gemstones favored by millennials. White and Yellow Gold Custom Signet Ring Uniqueness is also why millennials value custom-designed jewelry; they want jewelry with a story behind it, or that shows that thought and care were put...

### 6 Engagement Ring Trends for 2019


Shopping for an engagement ring is a very personal affair and, as most jewelry retailers can attest, couples that are shopping for an engagement ring approach their search from all angles, including wanting to know what’s trending. And jewelry styles, like any other type of apparel, move in and out of fashion. The coming year is no exception, with new and beautiful trends coming our way. So without further ado, we’ve compiled a look at the engagement ring styles that will dominate in 2019. Spoiler alert! They’re gorgeous! – Jewelers – get ready! Colored stones - Many brides, and that includes many of Hollywood’s favorite celebrities, are increasingly choosing colored gemstones over conventional diamonds. And while it’s true that colored stones can be easier on the pocket, the real value of colored stones for these brides-to-be is the individuality and uniqueness that colored stones express, not to mention the variety of choices that they come in. Amethysts, garnets, rubies, sapphires, and tourmalines are just some of the beautiful gemstones perfect for engagement rings. Our recent post on how to source gemstones is a reflection of this trend. Peacock Sapphire Engagement Ring Halo settings – In halo settings, smaller diamonds encircle and accentuate a center diamond, which has the effect of making the center diamond appear larger. Adding to the richness of a halo setting is its versatility; it can be added to any cut, allows for the use of unique stone shapes rather than uniform stone shapes, and it lets...

### Sustainable Jewelry Report: Is Coral a Sustainable Gem?


The use of coral in jewelry goes back to the pre-climate change era, when coral harvesting permits weren’t necessary, when CITES and US Fish and Wildlife didn’t exist, when the global temperature was a few degrees cooler than it is now. Tibetans were some of the first people to make salmon-colored and red coral popular by imported it from the Mediterranean sea (it is now illegal to harvest coral from the Med), using beads with surface fissures that were not anywhere near perfectly smooth. With countries like Abu Dhabi and China buying more coral jewelry than ever, we must now turn our attention to curbing people’s appetite for the unsustainable gem. Pink coral jewelry often sold to tourists around the world Jewelers aren’t coral’s only enemy; fisherman, pollution, canal-digging, rise in sea temperature (causing coral bleaching), its use in medicine, other decorative use and succumbing to disease are some of the others. Coral, like pearls, are animal-derived gems. Coral is classified as an animal, it's a marine invertebrate made up of a group of polyps which can sexually or aesexually reproduce. It sustains a marine ecosystem of thousands of different species. Confiscated illegal red coral Confiscated illegal black coral jewelry Natural coral comes in different hues; the most popular is the red fire coral color, then blue, pink and black color. Its growing popularity in jewelry was first noted in the early 1900s Art Nouveau period when color was being added to jewelry. Natural coral prices have risen several thousand...

### Gemology: Trigons- They May Appear on your Diamond’s Certificate!


You may have noticed that the diamond is the world’s most popular gem, with quite an emotional stigma attached to it, brought about by the large crown jewels worn by royalty and the modern day jewelry industry dating back hundreds of years. Scientifically, the diamond is one of the earth’s most fascinating gems and triangles are an important part of a diamond’s billion-year formation, in the form of trigons. Trigons in a diamond macle (rough diamond) Diamonds are tetrahedral in molecular structure, octahedral in shape, and all of them will contain trigons which prove that they are what they say they are- natural and not man-made. Trigons show that it is in fact carbon from below the earth’s surface that has been chemically etched over billions of years. Trigons have been formed to act as band-aids; when there is a disruption in the diamond’s formation, they themselves form around inclusions (the impurities that most diamonds other than internally flawless diamonds contain), and will usually be found in no more than 10% of the diamond’s overall structure. The fact that they are specifically triangular and appear etched into the diamond itself is amazing, visually they are overlapping triangles usually in a negative direction to a rough diamond’s octahedral face, which have slightly rounded edges (due to the the formation of the diamond deep within the earth’s mantle). If you happen to buy a diamond with “natural” or “trigon” listed on its laboratory certificate, which has not been polished off, you will...

Norway is a country of tradition dating back thousands of years. Famous for its Viking history and stories of bravery in exploration, Norway has much to offer in the way of art, food, sports, culture and even jewelry design. Norway’s jewelry design is a lot like its country; it is functional, minimalist and charming with attention to detail. Gold-plating is very popular in Norwegian jewelry design. This is in part due to the traditional brooches or Bunad brooches, worn for Constitution Day (The 17th of May, marking their Independence from Sweden), which are made of brass or silver and gold-plated. and may have filigree with dangling charms (colorful CZs are now incorporated into modern Bunad brooch designs), as part of the traditional dress costume that both men and women wear.

### Hidden Gems Germany’s Most Popular Jewelry Destinations


There are nooks and crannies of the world where the jewelry industry has been a driving economic influence; in some instances it has been a source of economic wealth for the entire country. Some of these nooks are small cities where you will actually pinpoint specific jewelry techniques, gemstones, and important museum histories. I have been spending the last year accomplishing my jewelry projects and goals in Germany, and have seen some exciting, unexpected jewelry-related developments. If you truly love jewelry, then Germany should be on your must-visit list for jewelry inspiration. Just keep in mind, the German word for jewelry is “schmuck”! After doing my own search for where to find the best stones, manufacturers and jewelers in Germany, I found that Idar-Oberstein (formerly Idar and Oberstein) was the city that prided itself on being the most jeweler-ific (having been a gem-cutting center established over 500 years ago with the first jewelry trade show taking place in 1859). Idar-Oberstein Idar-Oberstein Home to the Edelstein jewelry/gemstone/glyptics museum, http://www. edelsteinmuseum. de/, it was truly a sight to behold and worth a visit for any jeweler or gemologist as a must-see jewelry destination. Besides the quite large museum filled with carved and finished pieces as well as diamond-cutting exhibits, which you can easily spend hours visiting, Idar-Oberstein is famous for its glpyticians (intricate stone-carving! ), walk-in ground level shops with overqualified international gem dealers, and more museums (the mineral museum is worth checking out as well! ). I also had very good...

### The Lost Dolphin


Jim Saylor Jewelers opened in Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, in 1976 and has been operating from that same location ever since. They are family owned and operated and are known for their quality, custom jewelry designs and the special attention and service they provide their customers. Recently they had an opportunity to put that special service to the test and they passed with flying colors. The Lost Dolphin Challenge A little while back, one of Jim’s customers came to him with a single dolphin earring and asked him if he could possibly duplicate the matching earring, as she had lost it and was heartbroken over the loss. Because of her emotional attachment to the pair of earrings, they held an irreplaceable, sentimental value, so she wanted her lost earring to be an exact duplicate of the original. Not a similar earring, not a replacement, not a slightly different earring - she wanted an earring with the exact same design as her lost earring. However, the customer’s request presented a problem. The earring had been mass produced, but when Jim contacted the manufacturers of the earring, they told him it was no longer in stock and they could not reproduce the piece. Not wanting to disappoint his customer, Jim turned to Jewelrythis to find a solution. Aron Suley, Jewelrythis’ master jeweler, immediately recognized what a huge challenge it would be to recreate the customer’s lost earring, but he also wanted to help, so with his typical diligence, he applied...

### Make it Unique: Customized Wedding Jewelry Ideas


Engagement rings and wedding bands are a time-honored tradition when it comes to nuptials, but that doesn’t mean that traditions can’t be customized. In fact, customized wedding jewelry is becoming increasingly popular. And thanks to CAD jewelry and the ability to buy fine jewelry online, options for customizing jewelry have never been better or more beautiful. Customization can take many forms, such as requesting unique stone shapes or different stone colors, or east-west settings. The stunning design below is an example of all three! Fingerprinted wedding rings are another unique and eloquent way to customize wedding jewelry. This is when couples have the fingerprint impression of their spouse-to-be set into their wedding rings. The fingerprints can be on the outside or inside of the band and the process is both simple and inexpensive. After making fingerprint impressions with a fingerprint kit, the couple sends the impressions to their jeweler who transfers the fingerprints to a CAD file that can be used in the creation of a 3D model. Also beautiful, and perfect for customization, are vintage-style inspired rings. Many brides-to-be appreciate the romance and drama that is typical of vintage-style jewelry and want an engagement ring that reflects that, just like the exquisite example you see here from our collection, “Vintage Bridal Jewelry for the Romantic in You “. Peacock Sapphire and Diamond Bridal Set Pear Diamond Halo Engagement Ring While some brides choose vintage style wedding jewelry inspired by a ring that belonged to a loved one, others are...

### Wedding Jewelry Trends Alert


Engagement rings and wedding ring styles are constantly changing and evolving. Perhaps it’s because there are so many factors influencing them - celebrities, music stars, popular movies, new technologies, and even social and economic conditions. Whatever the cause, the result is that couples have many unique and beautiful engagement and wedding ring styles from which to choose. Recent trends in wedding jewelry have been particularly innovative and varied, not to mention beautiful. Here are just a few worth noting: Different shaped diamonds. Brides have been increasingly moving away from the traditional brilliant round and princess cut diamonds and moving toward more oval-shaped stones such as lozenge-shaped or pear-shaped center stones, cabochons, and other elongated stone shapes. We are also seeing the baguettes used for center stones, a bridal style never seen before. Unique stone shapes can completely change the look of an engagement ring and elongated stones give the finger a longer, more slender look. Pear Diamond Halo Engagement Ring Different colored gemstones. Today, many brides and grooms-to-be are opting for more affordable, colored gemstones such as sapphires, garnets, amethysts, and tourmalines. For those that want an edgier look, grey diamonds, are very popular. However, price isn’t the only appeal of the colored gemstones. Many couples value the individuality and uniqueness that the colored stones help express as well as the seemingly endless variety of choices. Solitaire Sapphire Engagement Ring With Large Marquise-Shaped Sapphire Fingerprinting scans for wedding rings. Another hot, new and modern trend is wedding rings with fingerprints....

### Leveraging Social Media to Boost Your Jewelry Sales - Start doing it  this Mother’s Day with Our FREE Photo Renderings


Mother’s Day is one of the biggest retail days of the year, and according to numerous shopper surveys, jewelry is one of the most popular Mother’s Day gifts. In fact, last year’s spending on Mother’s Day jewelry alone reached a whopping $5 billion! These facts have not been lost on e-commerce retailers and on jewelry e-commerce retailers, in particular. Social media, as we all know, is one of the best ways to advertise and raise awareness of a brand, but jewelry is particularly well suited to social media marketing because jewelry is both visual and beautiful – two qualities that stand out on social media. So what then are the best sites for jewelry retailers to focus on to advertise their brand? Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Their emphasis on visuals and beautiful images can help jewelry retailers get more traffic and sales. With that in mind, we thought a few tips on how to leverage the power of these social media sites for Mother’s Day would be helpful: Start sharing images – Our first tip is simply to start sharing those images! Remember, vision trumps all other senses. According to brainrules. com, we “are incredible at remembering pictures. Hear a piece of information, and three days later you'll remember 10% of it. Add a picture and you'll remember 65%. ” Make sure your images are fantastic! It’s hard to ignore a quote like the one above, so clearly our takeaway is that your content should include images. However, they shouldn’t...

### 7 Tips on Social Marketing for Jewelry Retailers


There isn’t much argument today about the value of social marketing to retail business. It’s pretty clear that it’s a key component of successful marketing. In fact, social media is critical to helping a business grow its brand and reach new customers. If you’re a retailer or business owner and don’t know how to do this, you’re losing out on a real marketing opportunity. This is particularly true for jewelry retailers because the industry is so visual. For some help on this topic, we’ve compiled a list of tips for getting started with social media marketing. 1. Start with the Top Three The top three social media platforms for business marketing, according to marketing experts, are Facebook and Instagram , so we suggest you start there. While all of these platforms have their own distinct features that differentiate them from each other, they also share many of the same marketing features. For example, for all of them, you should make sure you write a solid ‘About’ section and include an engaging cover photo. Once you’ve set up your account, you can start posting. 2. Quality Content is King Good quality, original content is a must. Before you post, though, do a little research to determine the best time to publish your content; not only frequency, but also the day(s) of the week and time of day that’s best to publish. As you start to post, make sure you follow others in your industry as well as ask them to follow...

### The Jewelrythis Certification Process


As a professional CAD jewelry platform, we’re proud to say that all of the Jewelrythis CAD modelers are experienced, qualified professionals. We know this because we have created our own rigorous certification process that all of our designers must pass before being allowed to join the Jewelrythis design team. The certification process allows us to verify the modeler’s experience, expertise and talent for designing not only beautiful looking models, but also models that can be properly produced and worn comfortably. Aron Suley, our master of CAD jewelry, overseas our certification process to make sure that an applicant meets our criteria for professionalism and quality designing. Here’s a look at the steps in our certification process: New designer registers on the Jewelrythis website. Designer uploads a model for review. We review the model and if it meets our established standards of quality, we invite the modeler to join our team and provide us with background information regarding experience and education. After we receive this info the designer is given access to our sandbox area and asked to choose and accept two test projects that will also be checked and reviewed. Only if these test projects are approved, and after a background check is done and an NDA signed, can the designer officially join our modeling team and start working on our customer projects. As you can see, it’s a pretty serious vetting process, but we think it’s worth it. Otherwise, we couldn’t offer the stunning, high-quality custom Jewelry CAD models that...

### The 4 Cs of CAD Jewelry: Complexity, Creativity, Craftsmanship, Challenge


The art of creating beautiful custom CAD jewelry is inspired by many talents and skills including creativity, technique, experience, craftsmanship, technological know-how, and even emotion. So that you can better see how all of these qualities figure into CAD jewelry, we’ve written a post to show you some of the stages of development of a beautiful custom CAD jewelry model, from conceptual birth to finish. The Beginning As with any jewelry piece, we start with just an idea, which is either a 2D sketch, a photo, or even a technical drawing. In the photo below, for example, you see a custom design that was transformed straight from the creative mind of our resident CAD expert, Aron Suley into a technical drawing. Technical drawing Moving into a Virtual World From here, the jewelry vision is then created in a virtual world using CAD software. Inspiration and Challenges The inspiration behind this particular design came from a two-tone ametrine, a naturally occurring variety of quartz that is a mix between citrine and amethyst with yellow and purple zones. The two-tone color of the ametrine inspired Aron to create a ring that was also in two colors - yellow and white gold. As you can see from the drawing, the inspired design was very complex, which gave rise to several challenges. The first challenge was to have the stonecutter cut the stone so that it was half yellow and half purple. The second challenge was creating the type of two-tone ring that Aron...

### We’re back at it – using your feedback to improve the customer experience on Jewelrythis!


And we think we’ve done it! This time, we focused on streamlining and simplifying the Designthis, custom order process. It’s explained in today’s post below. Go ahead and give it a read, try us out, and let us know what you think. Your feedback is always important to us. The major enhancement we’ve made is that you can now improve and refine your project description via a much simpler, three-step process. After you choose your project type, you will be directed to a page to upload your photos or sketches and give your project a name. Naming your project makes it easier for you to follow and locate it later. After you’ve uploaded your files, you will then see a form to fill out that has important questions about your design. These questions help our supervisor and designer understand more accurately what you want as well as helps avoid the need for future revisions. Below are examples of some of the improvements we have made such as the addition of easily identifiable icons for all stone settings, and ring shanks you can now choose from. What else? You can also specify exactly the number of gems you want, or provide an approximate number. You can even leave it to the designer’s discretion, if you’re not sure yourself. The same goes for stone diameters – tell us exactly, give us an approximation, or leave it to the designer’s discretion! We believe that these improvements will reduce the wait time between sending...

### CAD Jewelry Design Overview


Wondering what CAD jewelry is all about? Maybe you’ve heard of CAD jewelry, or you’ve seen a few CAD jewelry models, but don’t really understand what all the fuss is about. Or, as a jeweler, perhaps you’re interested in learning how CAD jewelry benefits jewelers, or why you should even start using it for your business. Then again, maybe you’re just curious about it. Whatever your reasons, we’re glad you’re here and hope you enjoy this light introduction to CAD jewelry and why it’s a boon to jewelry design. The Basics CAD ( aka computer-aided design) jewelry designs are created on computer screens by skilled artisans, who use state-of-the-art computer hardware and CAD software to turn their artistic ideas and concepts into 3D works-of-art. The CAD files that contain these creations are sent as digital files to high-precision, high-quality, 3D printers that read the data and print it out as a wax jewelry model. The wax model can then be used in the traditional lost wax casting process, which fabricates an investment casting containing the negative impression of the model. Afterwards, the investment is filled with a precious, molten metal to produce the jewelry piece and then traditional finishing processes are used to craft the final, beautiful piece of jewelry. How CAD Improves Jewelry Design CAD has been a boon to jewelry design in many ways. First, because of the precision and power of CAD software, it gives artisans the ability to express themselves artistically with more clarity, creativity and...

### From Dream to Reality


Jewelrythis has about 10 employees; some part time, some full time. I’ve worked here for about 4 years and have seen the company grow from a dream to a successful reality. I feel fortunate to be working at a company with so much promise and innovation, as well as to work with people whom I cannot only learn from, as they are all experienced professionals in their fields, but also with whom I genuinely enjoy interacting. Recently, I received a most beautiful gift that also started as a wish and then became an exquisite reality. It has been my wish for a long time now, to have a mother’s ring – a ring with the birthstone of each of my children. I knew I wanted something special and had shopped around for one off and on for years, but never found quite what I wanted and wasn’t capable of coming up with a design idea on my own. The idea for my ring finally found purchase at Jewelrythis when Aron Suley, our jewelry genius, took on the project of making my ring. We had a consultation at the Jewelrythis offices in beautiful San Diego and I gave him a general idea of what I wanted. Aron took it from there and turned my idea into not just a reality, but an exquisite reality that I never could have conceptualized on my own. Aron created a wearable treasure out of a simple wish. Even though I’ve been working for Jewelrythis for...

### The Magic of CAD


Yes, there's a lot of math, physics and chemistry behind CAD and 3D printing technology, but sometimes it just seems like magic – like this exquisite engagement ring by Hellablu Jewelers. Hellablu Jewelers, is based in Lexington, Kentucky and owned and operated by Heather McKinley. Heather specializes in estate jewelry and custom-made, original jewelry. Heather’s creativity and expertise is complemented by her ability to design jewelry that suit her customers’ specific lifestyle and tastes. As a long-time customer of Jewelrythis, Heather came to us with a beautiful design sketch for an engagement ring that she wanted to match to another piece that she had also created with Jewelrythis. When we received her request, we immediately assigned one of our modelers to her project and the gorgeous ring you see above is the result of this collaboration. We’re happy to report that Heather was super pleased with the finished piece, as her comment can attest: “The Jewelrythis team is professional, responsive, and talented and they have always produced amazing finished pieces. They also have great turnaround time and prices and they have really helped me grow my business”. Creating fabulous jewelry pieces from just a sketch or photo to a magnificent piece of jewelry is what Jewelrythis does!

### Designthis Feature Saves the Day for Broder Jewelry


Broder Jewelry Design is located in Brentwood California and has a reputation for quality, expertise and creativity, as evidenced by the many retail stores, manufacturers and designers around the country that regularly seek his services. The owner, Mark Broder, is a regular user of the Jewelrythis platform and recently submitted his beautiful new “floating bezel” design sketch to us for production. But, as with all his work, Mark wasn’t just interested in getting the design produced, he wanted it to reach its full potential. The Jewelrythis platform helped him do just that. By using our Designthis capabilities with the render feature, Mark was able to quickly notice that the floating bezel CAD model needed a modification --before he even produced it! Of course this meant considerable savings in time and expense for Mark, who then modified the design as needed, and used our Producethis integrated system to easily order casting and finishing services for rapid delivery. Mark was so happy with the finished piece and easy Jewelrythis process that he wanted to share the stunning results in this 360 degree view. We’re eager to share this story too and hope you enjoy it. And we’d love to get your feedback, so feel free to comment below, or contact us. And thank you Mark for sharing your story and beautiful results. Create Your Own Custom-Made Jewelry

### 8 Mistakes to Avoid When Designing a 3D Jewelry Model for Printing


The growing trend toward using CAD for creating jewelry has brought the art of jewelry design to whole new levels of beauty and complexity, and 3D printing technology has made it possible to bring these designs to fruition. Nonetheless, to actually achieve beautiful, printable jewelry models, there are several mistakes that are especially important to avoid. We’ve created a list of them below so that you know what they are and so designers can use it as a checklist when creating their own beautiful CAD models. 1. Saving the STL file with too low resolution You should keep in mind that if the resolution is low, the file size will be smaller (more easily transferred via the Internet). However, the triangles in the STL file will be big and cause a ‘pixelated’ print, i. e. , the surface of the print will not be smooth. Furthermore, increased triangulation makes the surface of the model rougher, causing significant loss of precious metal in the cleaning process. Example of low resolution STL file 2. Not enough release holes for hollow models When designing hollow models, make sure to include enough release holes. Ideally, this means you should include at least three. The size of the holes will depend on the design and the size of the model, but the minimum size should be at least 1. 5 mm. 3. Missing support When designing a ring, make sure to include wiring to hold the base and the top of the ring together, so...

### 7 Effective Methods for Promoting Your Business This Valentine’s Day


Gemstone Heart Pendant With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about how to make the most of this special holiday. Jewelry is one of the most popular Valentine’s Day gifts there is, so there’s a lot jewelers can do to help everyone show their love on February 14th. In fact, to help you get started, we compiled the short list of tips below: Make use of social media. Use social media to share images of your jewelry and don’t be afraid to include humor or statistics, as these are the most shared type of content. Personal stories are also effective at attracting customers to your brand, but avoid the sales pitch. Try to maintain a regular posting schedule so that your posts are steady and consistent rather than overwhelming. Too few posts are not good either, as you can lose the interest of your followers. Tell a story. Use your website to tell a story about your business. This will help you distinguish yourself from other stores. The stories can be about history, your company’s philosophy, beauty etc, but they should make your visitors feel like you are speaking directly to them. By creating an emotional connection, you increase motivation to buy. Your blog is also an excellent way to engage your customers on a personal level as well as presents a great opportunity to use relevant keywords (think about content that is search engine friendly, but also relevant to your target audience). Email marketing....

### 2016: A Look Back with Jewelrythis


As we get ready to greet the new year, the Jewelrythis staff is taking a moment to look back at our main events in 2016. We started off 2016 by announcing our new Premium Membership. The Premium membership was designed to protect the integrity of our models and to assure that only jewelry professionals could view and buy premium products. Premium membership also offers special features and choices that are not available with regular membership. In February we introduced our awesome new dashboard that made it easier for you to follow your favorite designers, view your orders and bookmarks, and even read tips on how to get the most out of Jewelrythis. Then in March, we announced the final winner of “The Spotlight is on You” Contest. The contest ran for four months and many gorgeous designs were submitted, but who can forget the winning design submitted by Othmar Wicke? The coiled snake cuff bracelet was the favorite of all our judges. A little bit later in the year, we went to JCK Las Vegas and were fortunate enough to meet with some of the people who make up the Jewelrythis community. We talked, made connections, shared ideas and learned from them, and came back energized from all the positive feedback. We also introduced the new Jewelrythis CAD to Cast service, which gives our users the option to order a CAD model and then get a casting in either 14k, 18k or platinum. With this option, we’ve eliminated the worry...

### Stylish Jewelry for the Holidays


Winter is almost hear and with it, all the excitement, hustle and bustle of the winter holidays. Of course, winter also means cold, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be warm and stylish. However, stylish clothing is one thing; jewelry can bring style to a whole new level. With that in mind, we’ve compiled an easy guide for keeping in step with jewelry styles for the holidays. Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments box too! We’d love to hear from you. Classic is always good, but stay on top with the season’s jewelry trends too. For example, this winter season, pearls and single earrings are big. So is wearing bracelets over sleeves. Baroque is also seeing a comeback as are layered necklaces. Diamond Bow Pearl Drop Earring Of course, it’s not enough to just know what is fashionable. You need to know how to wear the styles too. Remember not to overdo it. It’s better to have a few nice, standout pieces than a lot of jewelry that doesn’t coordinate. Also, resist wearing jewelry that hangs too closely together such as big earrings and a big necklace. Instead, go for one large and one small. Another good idea is to choose a single complementary color, such as what you’ll often see with jewelry sets or companion pieces. Horse earring and pendant set with soft blue aquamarine gemstone It’s also important to consider the type of occasion you are attending too, so that the jewelry you choose...

### How 3D Printing Is Expanding the Possibilities of Jewelry Design


CAD and 3D printing has opened up the world of jewelry design in areas never thought imaginable just a few years ago. One use of the technology in jewelry making is designing and digitally fabricating pieces based on patterns. A company known as Nervous System has created pieces based on algorithmic design—numerical patterns associated with mathematics, computer programming and engineering. These patterns also appear naturally in biological settings. The Fibonacci sequence is perhaps the best known of all algorithms. Founded by Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci in the early 13th Century, it is characterized by the fact that every number after the first two is the sum of the two preceding ones: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 ... The Somerville, Massachusetts-based design firm appears to be one of the very few that have applied algorithmic design into jewelry making and other products. The company recently unveiled, Corollaria, an algorithmic jewelry collection composed of intricate structures in brass and rubber based on biological systems. Algorithmically generated designs are etched from brass sheets and shaped into 3D forms in a hydraulic press. They are further formed into dome shapes, giving the flat patterns depth and dimension. The result is a full collection of delicate pieces with lattice- and filigree-like structures based on different shapes and patterns yet can easily be associated with the collection. The rubber pieces feature bigger and bolder shapes and patterns. The founders of Nervous System, Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg, say Corollaria...

### Working with Baroque Pearls


One of the emerging jewelry trends this year is the use of baroque pearls to create contemporary jewels with an edge. These irregularly shaped pearls were largely used for fashion jewelry during the past 20 years or so primarily because of the increase of cultured fresh and salt water pearls making them extremely affordable. However, during the past decade fine jewelry designers and artists have been finding new uses for these pearls, which are available in a near endless palette of shapes and colors. In their natural state many white or light-colored baroque pearls exhibit a subtle and constantly changing of rainbow-like colors, similar to an opal. Jewelry artists are keeping them in their natural shapes or carving them further to their own liking and pairing them with organic materials. High jewelry designers are pairing them with precious gems, and precious metals and gems. Hisano Shepherd, founder of Little h, is taking soufflé pearls (irregularly shaped pearls with hollow centers), cutting them in half and filling them with micro pearls and tiny diamonds, rubies sapphires and other precious gems. Appropriately named the “Pearl Geode Collection,” she has created a grouping of earrings, pendant necklaces and rings with many styles, shapes and color combinations. Freshwater soufflé pearl sliced and lined with seed pearls and reclaimed rubies set in 14k rose gold by the jewelry design firm, Little h Yvel, takes a particular kind of baroque pearl, the keshi (non-nucleated pearls typically formed as by-products of pearl cultivation), and uses it to...

### The Colors of Fall


As summer approaches it might be difficult to think of autumn, but fashion is always ahead of its time. With this in mind it might be a good time to look at th color palette for fall 2016 as presented by Pantone, which bills itself as “the color authority,” The fall season’s colors are dominated by the blue family, which translates to the “desire for tranquility, strength, and optimism,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. The blue hues are mixed with a combination of earth tones and touches of bright colors, making for a diverse showing for the season. Despite this diversity, calming and comforting blues dominate. “Along with anchoring earth tones, exuberant pops of vibrant colors also appear throughout the collections. Transcending gender, these unexpectedly vivacious colors in our fall 2016 palette act as playful but structured departures from your more typical fall shades,” Eiseman said. “Blue skies represent constancy as they are always above us. Grays give a feeling of stability; red tones invite confidence and warmth, while the hot Pinkish Purples and Spicy Mustard Yellows suggest a touch of the exotic. ” The 10 calming colors that topped Pantone’s fall 2016 list are Riverside Blue, Airy Blue, Sharkskin Gray, Aurora Red, Warm Taupe, Dusty Cedar, Lush Meadow Green, Spicy Mustard, Potter’s Clay and Bodacious. “If you look at this season’s entire palette, the idea of comforting blues coming to the top of the list again shows that people are still searching for that...

### Jewelry Trends at Baselworld 2016


Economic realities played into much of what was happening at Baselworld this year. The larger jewelry brands were being cautious by focusing on their iconic lines and jewels that are already popular. Meanwhile, independent jewelers continued to combine art, culture and design with fashion to create original works based on their design codes. However, companies large and small largely focused on classic themes. Modern, contemporary themes were limited, but there were exceptions. One major exception was the “The Spotlight is on You” jewelry design contest winner, Othmar Wicke. Wicke’s twisting and turning Snake Cuff bracelet was on display at the Solidscape booth in the small area dedicated to equipment companies. The competition was sponsored by JewelryThis and Solidscape. But for the most part at Baselworld classic motifs were the norm. One theme that never seems to grow old is gardens and many jewelers used it in their designs this year, including two Italian jewelers. Pasquale Bruni, with its Petit Garden collection and Roberto Coin it its Garden collection. Another classic theme is animals and several jewelers presented examples of this, including the French jewelry house, Boucheron, which produced, as it does every year, a number of bejeweled animal figures. Art Deco is always a constant theme among jewelers but this year that wasn’t the case. Greek designer, Nikos Koulis, specializes in the colorful geometric shapes that represent this period. It includes vertical earrings made with black enamel, white diamonds and emeralds. When it comes to sticking with combining traditional themes...

### Zaha Hadid’s Death Leaves behind a Possible Ground Breaking Jewelry Career


Zaha Hadid’s untimely death not only leaves behind an unfinished legacy in the creation of fantastically futuristic buildings; but it also leaves behind a budding career in jewelry design. The Pritzker Prize winner and the world’s most famous and accomplished female architect suddenly and unexpectedly died March 31 of a heart attack while in Miami. She was 65. Hadid's buildings are characterized by curving forms, often inspired by nature, with multiple perspectives. Her jewelry is also characterized by these same curved and rounded shapes. The first piece of jewelry she created in 2014 was an 18k white gold cuff for Lebanese jewelry house Aziz and Walid Mouzannar. Called the Silene cuff, it is set with more than 1,000 diamonds that appear to branch out from petal-shaped sections that frame the piece. She followed this up in January with a collection of matching rings and cuffs with various takes on the same pattern. The collection was expanded through colors and materials, adding yellow, pink and oxidized 18k gold and other colored gems. The rings are more than two inches long and include a hinged joint to accommodate a bending knuckle. However, it was her most recent collaboration with Georg Jensen that has the potential to reach a mass audience while bringing the Danish brand into the modern era. Georg Jensen unveiled the new jewelry line, called “Georg Jensen X Zaha Hadid The Lamellae Collection,” on March 17 at Baselworld. The collection of five rings and three cuff bangles was inspired by...

### Announcing the Final Winner of "The Spotlight is on You" 2016 3D Jewelry Design Contest!


Our first annual “The Spotlight is on You” contest was a greater success than we could have imagined. We received some truly spectacular contest entries and were constantly impressed by the quality and creativity of the submissions.

### Augmented Reality Is the Next Logical Step for 3D Jewelry Designers


The argument that people won’t buy jewelry online because they want to touch and feel it before they buy has been debunked long ago. But some do persist. The continued emergence of augmented reality (AR) will end the argument forever. AR, according to Wikipedia, is the “live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. ” For those who deal in the creation of 3D jewelry designs, augmented reality is the next logical step to showcase finished work. It allows potential buyers the chance to view a full 3D image of a jewel they may want to buy and to virtually “try it on. ” It gets as close to a brick-and-mortar experience as one could possibly have in terms of showing product. And the convenience of being able to do this at anytime nearly anywhere in the world is unmatched. It certainly isn’t a new application. Augmented reality has been used sparingly in the jewelry and watch industry as early as 2010. But it was a bit slow and complicated in actual application. However, recent advancements in the technology along with the explosion in the number of firms jumping onto this platform have resulted in a near-seamless experience for consumers, while making more affordable and easier to use for creators. The best part is the smart phone and tablet is the perfect tool to showcase this technology. Augmented reality apps...

### A Modern Twist to Valentine’s Day Jewels


3D Printing and CAD design has provided unlimited potential of what jewelry designers can do in the 21st century. Now it’s time to use this technology to create jewelry designs that test the boundaries of our most cherished traditional holidays. For Valentine’s Day hearts and flowers are the most popular themes for jewelry design. Those who are able to put a modern twist on these traditional design motifs should attract new audiences to their work. Retailers are looking at new ways to attract consumers (particularly younger ones) and designers who are able to produce contemporary looks to traditional themes will be a step ahead in this area as well. So the goal is creating contemporary designs using traditional themes while still managing to keep the traditional romantic appeal of the year’s most romantic holiday. White metals, such as silver, platinum and palladium, along with pink and rose gold convey romance. These are also the metals that can easily be used to create more modern design techniques. This is the one time of year where colorless diamonds shine, perfect for white metals in particular. There are good reasons why white diamonds and metals are associated with bridal jewelry. White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection and it represents a successful beginning. Amethyst is the February birthstone but unfortunately its royal purple color doesn’t really express romantic intent but rather power. If you use it do it sparingly, as highlights...

### December's Winner for "The Spotlight is on You" Contest is None Other Than...


All of the entries we received for December's contest were once again, spectacular. In fact, each month the designs just seem to get better and better. This made it particularly difficult for our judges to choose a winner for December, which had both a nature theme and a contemporary design theme.

### The More, the Better: Why it's Important to Upload Designs Frequently


Many designers new to Jewelrythis ask us why they should keep uploading more models, so we thought it was important enough to write an explanation on our blog. In a nutshell, the best reason to upload new models regularly is to attract and keep the attention of our users. In other words, so they don't forget about you! The best way to do that is by frequently uploading new designs to your store. Here's why: 1. New models are added to our latest designs display, which means they are on the first page of our site and therefore receive the most views. 2. The more models you have on our homepage, the more homepage views there will be and the more views your models will have. 3. Every time you upload a model, your followers are notified, which helps them keep you in mind when they are looking for designs. So, if you upload a model once a week, your followers will be notified and reminded of you on a weekly basis. If, on the other hand, you only upload a model once a month, your followers will only receive a monthly email about your designs. So, as you can see, the more models you upload, the better! Better, exposure, better interest, better sales! If you're still unclear about this topic, feel free to add your comments to the discussion area below and let us know.

### Adding Blue to Jewels Can Increase Their Appeal


The importance of the color blue in jewelry has been underscored by the recent auction at Sotheby’s of a 12-carat blue diamond that sold for $48. 4 million, making it the most expensive diamond ever purchased at an auction. The color is natural and seems plentiful, but it is actually very rare in nature, particularly in ways where you can touch it and take it home with you. The skies and the seas are an expanse of blue. However, the color blue accounts for less than four percent of plants, five percent of flowers and eight percent of fruits. Only 64,000 vertebrae species possess blue pigment, says James Fox, an art historian. He adds that the word blue didn’t even exist in ancient literature. And it wasn’t just the language. Blue was such a difficult color to create that it never appeared in art or man-made items until around 2,000 BC. Afterward it was very rare because it was so costly to create. Now of course man-made blue is everywhere, but it still remains uncommon in fine jewelry because natural blue is still a rare occurrence and remains expensive. Case in point, in jewelry, there are the extremely rare blue diamonds, blue sapphires and lapis lazuli, only available in the remote mountain regions of Afghanistan. These are the best known examples. In addition to sapphire, deeply saturated blue is found in spinel and kyanite. There are a number of choices in the lighter blues, including topaz, zircon and aquamarine. Tanzanite...

### The Benefits of Design Partnerships


What better way to get the word out about your company and create buzz about your creations then partnering with a designer? That’s what some 3D companies did recently and the results appear to be excellent! An Italian 3D jewelry company, . bijouets , partnered with Italian jewelry artist, Monica Castiglioni, on a line of fashion jewels, according to a story on 3ders . The rollout has been quite impressive and includes a focused line of wearable fashion jewelry accompanied with well-structured marketing visuals, as well as a video of the products worn by a model. Castiglioni, based in Milan and New York, is a veteran jewelry designer known primarily for her bronze jewelry pieces, as well as jewels she incorporates into her designs, inspired by organic shapes. According to the story, she learned of . bijouets’s 3D printed jewelry and became “interested in the potentials of additive manufacturing for the jewelry industry. ” This sparked the collaboration. This isn’t the first time . bijouets, which uses 3D printing technologies for designing jewelry and accessories, has done this. In fact, this is how it typically does business. The company now features fashion collections from eight different designers, primarily based on modern interpretations of classical shapes. Solidscape is another example of 3D printing technologies partnering with jewelry designers. Not long ago, they collaborated with Jenny Wu, founder and designer for LACE. The article reporting on the collaboration said that ‘Wu partnered with Solidscape and Stratasys to build her LACE collection –...

### Don't Forget Color


The diamond industry is going through a restructuring that is creating a surplus of diamonds in the marketplace. Normally this would mean lower prices, but those in the diamond chain are refusing to cut prices at this point. In addition, there are changes in consumer behavior when it comes to jewelry purchases. First, women are no longer waiting for a man to buy their jewelry for them. They are earning their own money and buying their own jewelry. This has led to a greater emphasis on jewelry that expresses a woman’s individuality. eCommerce is also affecting the jewelry industry. It’s not only changing the way people buy jewelry, but it’s changing attitudes towards fine jewelry as well. This is particularly the case with the newest generation of consumers; “millennials,” whose buying decisions are shaped by digital and social media and the ability to buy online immediately. Finally, and most importantly, the explosion in the use of technology to design and create jewelry, including CAD/CAM and 3D printing, has had a tremendous impact on the jewelry trade. With the troubles of the diamond industry, the changes in attitude toward jewelry and the technological advances in making and selling jewels, it appears that it is now the perfect time to use colored gems. Color is a way to distinguish one’s product and even one’s brand. There is an endless variety in the way that colored gems can be used in design. The same goes for consumers. The choice of certain gems and...

### Floral Jewelry is Traditional and Modern


Nature has been an inspiration for jewelry makers for centuries, particularly the plants and flowers that surround us. And this is still true today. Floral scenes and nature in general are often used to create romantic jewelry. The Art Nouveau Period (1890 to 1910) was particularly strong in the use of natural scenes, like flower and water lilies; and was a time when jewelry had a strong romantic nature. Some say that floral jewelry has been reemerging among contemporary jewelers. I argue that there was never a time when this type of jewelry wasn’t prolific or acceptable (except for maybe the Art Décor period, which favored geometric patterns and machine-age themes). Modern Italian jewelers Pasquale Bruni and Robert Coin are known for depicting natural themes in both a romantic way or with a bit of a modern edge (particularly Coin). Spanish jewelry company, Carrera y Carrera—known for their hand-made, high-karat jewelry—is equally known for its romantic take on their jewelry. High jewelry companies, which often take their cues from the past, are prolific in depicting floral scenes. For example, Bulgari’s new high jewelry collection is inspired by Italian Renaissance gardens. Piaget’s hallmark symbol for jewelry and watches is the rose. And Fabergé was inspired by the landscapes and floral patterns of Southern France for its Summer in Provence collection. This latest collection of textured and layered jewelry features a contrast of blue, green and pink colors using various combinations of turquoise beads, pearls, polished enamel, baguette emeralds, diamonds and Paraiba...

### Creating Contemporary Pearl Jewelry


The perception that pearl jewelry lacks a modern appeal and is most closely associated with a string of white pearls for a mature woman is finally starting to change. The explosion of cultured pearls in all kinds of colors, shapes and sizes has certainly pushed this forward. And for the past few years, designers have responded by using pearls to create jewelry as fashionable and contemporary as any jewelry being made today. The recent appreciation of this trend is primarily from the editorial writers. But there’s still a way to go before the consumer really buys into it. That’s because consumers are confused by the complexity of pearls, as are many retailers and designers. Since pearls are grown from live oysters, they are prone to the same dangers that threaten any agricultural product (such as disease, hostile weather and overproduction). Plus, the sales and distribution system for pearls is a tangled web of complexity and inefficiency. In addition, pearls have many different origins, shapes and a range of quality variations that are difficult to judge with the naked eye. Fortunately, many of these difficulties can be overlooked when in contact with the beauty of a well-designed fine jewelry piece. Here are just some of the pearl trends we’re now seeing in fine jewelry designs: * Color. Color is one of the hottest trends in pearls right now. In addition to the classic assortment of naturally occurring color pearls, such as Tahitian black pearls, pearls can be artificially colored through dyes...

### The Return of Opal Jewelry


There doesn’t seem to be to be any consistency with the appeal of opal jewelry. It goes in and out of fashion with retailers and consumers. But judging from the recent Couture Show in Las Vegas, opal is back on trend and designers are creating pieces that take full advantage of its many qualities. The only real question is why would it ever go out of fashion with designers and the general public? There is perhaps no other gemstone with the variety of colors and as diverse natural designs as opals. In addition, opal has a level of history and mysticism that only the most precious gems seem to have. Opal, unlike most gemstones, lacks crystal therefore it doesn’t sparkle and glitter. What it does is display every color of the rainbow in a limitless palette of combinations. Fire and lightning and all the soft shine of far seas are just a couple of the natural designs that the gem can display. In some cases it even has a phosphorescent quality. This color play is said to reflect the changing emotions and moods of people. Opals are even believed to have healing powers and are related to Zodiac signs. Opals can be used with equal success in large elaborate pieces as well as small delicate jewelry. When added with different color metals the personality of the opal changes. Most of the world’s opal comes from Australia, but there are many other sources, including South America, Africa and the US. Mexico...

### Titanium Meets Women’s Need for Light, Comfortable, and Creative Jewelry


Suzanne Syz, an avid modern art collector, began designing jewelry for herself about 15 years ago out of frustration. She found luxury jewelry by some of the most acclaimed designers to be heavy, uncomfortable and out-of-date. Her mission was to create contemporary jewelry that is light and comfortable. Titanium fits right in with this mission. She says gems and diamonds really shine in contrast with the metal. She also admires its strength, durability and adaptability. It also is one of the lightest known metals. In addition, titanium can be turned into colors ranging from brown and purple to magenta and yellow-green, through the anodizing process. “I like it when you don’t see the material too much,” she said. “You can put stones in it without it getting heavy. Jewelry has to be comfortable. ” Syz isn’t alone. Women all over the world are in search of light, comfortable, contemporary jewelry that is casual, elegant and comfortable. And these women are not waiting to receive jewelry as gifts anymore. They are buying their own pieces that match their lifestyle. This should be incentive enough to start producing jewelry for women with materials such as titanium. For example, the earrings you see below are made out of anodized titanium and 18k yellow gold. The stones used in this rendering are yellow, pink, and brown diamonds, black spinel, and tsavorites rubies and sapphires. The flower petals in rose are anodized in pink and the stem is black. In gold this pair of earrings...

### Kostika Spaho: Featured Designer on Jewelrythis and Rising Star in the Jewelry World


In today’s blog, we are featuring Kostika Spaho, a talented jewelry designer and rising star in the jewelry world. Kostika’s designs are futuristic, sleek and exquisite, reflecting the infinite possibilities in 3D jewelry design. Kostika started learning 3D modeling in 2008 while he was earning his Master of Architecture degree. After working as an architect for eight months, he became bored with “just 3D modeling boxes, which dominate our planet”, so he started to direct his skills towards modeling more interesting and varied shapes. His first collaborative effort was on a woman’s high heel, which garnered him a lot of online recognition. This in turn led to a lot of private clients, the majority of whom wanted jewelry, and thus his career in jewelry design was launched. The real story, however, begins earlier, when Kostika was about 10 years old. That is when he took up the unusual hobby of using electrical wires to create insect forms. At that time, Kostika and his family lived in Albania and neither computers nor the Internet were available in his home. What he did have was an old book with detailed pictures of insects, so he based his designs on these pictures. As his medium, he used cables that he cut from crashed cars and electrical appliances that people threw away. Later, Kostika was influenced by an uncle who was a talented painter and sculptor, and who taught Kostika many of his own skills. Still later, Kostika was influenced by biomimicry, which he...

### Art Deco Jewelry Designs


Art Deco is one of the most easily recognizable visual arts design styles. It flourished from the 1920s to 1940s all over the world, appearing on everything from buildings and cars to appliances and interiors. In its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. This association certainly lent the style to jewelry design. It remains one of the most popular and enduring design periods in the history of jewelry. Two of the best-known practitioners in this style were Cartier and Tiffany. In fact, many consider this period to be the golden age of design for these two world renowned brands. While some might say that Art Deco style is staging a comeback, in truth, it never totally left. Jewelers and watch brands in recent years have incorporated this style in their collections. For example, luxury jewelry designer Martin Katz released a collection using the Art Deco architectural shapes of the New York skyline. This coincided with an Art-Deco themed luxury suite he designed in the New York Palace Hotel. Another example is Ivanka Trump’s Empire collection which also uses the Art Deco themes of the New York skyline as its motif. In addition, Ralph Lauren’s 867 ladies watch collection reflects the style of the Art Deco era in its diamond paved shapes. And New York estate jeweler, Fred Leighton, adorned many stars and celebrities during the red carpet season this year. We can also see Cartier’s legacy in Art Deco jewelry design, as...

### Color Trends at Baselworld


During the red carpet season in the US, trends were largely dictated by the deep pockets of the major jewelry companies. The result was, as I wrote previously, white diamonds, white gold and platinum. However, when it came to what the majority of designers produced for Baselworld 2015, it was all about colored gems. Yellow and rose gold also outshined the white metals. So, which trend do you follow? Colored gems are interesting and lend themselves to more variety and creativity than diamonds. But diamond jewelry is often an easier sell. The Brazilian brand, Brumani, impressed this year with tranquil, pastel hues, primarily pink and blues, in a variety of styles. Its Baobab collection is composed of cabochons of aquamarine and ruby, Brazilian pink tourmaline, "brown" diamonds and yellow gold. The Baobab Rosé Collection combined diamonds, pink quartz and Brazilian pink tourmaline, all embedded in pink gold. Speaking of Brazil, one of the more popular gems shown at Baselworld was paraiba tourmaline, a bluish-green stone that used to come from Brazil. The mines in the Paraiba region are now depleted, which has made the stone more popular than ever. However, the same paraiba tourmaline (at a much more affordable price) has been found in parts of Africa and that is what is mostly being sold today. The best example at the trade fair was a Chopard ring featuring a 41. 57-carat oval shaped paraiba tourmaline from Mozambique. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Yoko London, which specializes in pearl jewelry, showed off its...

### Red Carpet Jewelry: Classic, Conservative and Colorless


The influence of big money and big brands during the red carpet season in the US was evident this year as can be seen by the conservative style of jewelry worn during the two biggest award events: The Oscars and the Golden Globes. The big jewelry houses adorned the biggest stars and made the biggest splash even if that splash was rather pricey. White diamonds, white gold and platinum were dominant along with classic designs—particularly at the Golden Globes. For example, Jessica Chastain sparkled in white gold and diamond earrings and cuffs by Piaget. Naomi Watts may have had the only bold statement of the evening wearing Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti diamond necklace. Julianne Moore matched her metallic gown with two platinum and diamond bracelets and three rings by Chopard. The De Beers Forevermark diamond brand, which personifies whiteness in its jewelry, adorned no fewer than three red carpet stars at the Golden Globes with layers of white diamond and metal jewelry (Kate Hudson, Giuliana Rancic and Frances O’Connor). During the Oscars, there was a little more variety but largely white on white ruled. Anna Kendrick wore a diamond collar of five rows matched with marquis and pear-shaped diamond cluster earrings totaling 13 carats, reported by Norman Silverman. The necklace was tucked into the neckline of her gown. Jessica Chastain wore a delicate and refined diamond necklace by Piaget. The actress was recently named a brand ambassador for the luxury jewelry and watch brand. Nicole Kidman wore more than $7 million...

### Tantalizing Topaz


November’s birthstone is none other than the tantalizing topaz, which takes its name from the Sanskrit word for fire. Topaz is often confused with another gemstone called citrine (another November birthstone) because the two have a similar color (although they differ in size and form). The most common colors for topaz are brown, orange, yellow, and yellow-gold – all colors that are similar to the colors of citrine. In the 19th century, Russian czarinas wore jewelry made from red and pink topaz (the rarest colors for topaz), hence the name ‘Imperial Topaz’. The most famous topaz, however, is a topaz called the ‘Braganza Diamond’. The Braganza Diamond is actually a colorless topaz and was originally thought to be a diamond, which is why the Braganza Diamond is thus named. Although topaz is a very hard gemstone, with an 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it must be handled very carefully, as it is in fact rather delicate and can break easily if not well-cared for. Create Your Own Custom-Made Topaz Jewelry!

### Converting CAD to STL


Important Parameters for Converting CAD to STL Whether you’re new to CAD/CAM designing or an expert, it’s always good to brush up on your knowledge of the entire design process, especially when so much skill and technique is required to create beautiful designs. Saving the model you designed in a CAD program as an STL file is just one step in the entire process, but like all the steps, it’s an important one. The STL file is what takes the surfaces in the CAD design and prepares them as a mesh of triangles. How accurately curved surfaces get printed depends on the number and size of these triangles. The number and size of the triangles is, of course, controlled by the designer who must set certain parameters when creating the STL file. By properly setting these parameters, you can assure that your design is printed without facets. Listed below are the parameters that must be set: Chordal Tolerance/Deviation: The maximum distance between the surface of the original design and the tessellated surface (a checkered surface or a surface that looks like a mosaic) of the STL triangle. Angle Control: This refers to the angular deviation allowed between adjacent triangles. With this setting the designer can increase tessellation, which is necessary for surfaces with small radii, as the smaller the radii the more triangles needed. STL File Format: When you save the CAD as STL, you can usually choose between a binary or ASCII format. Binary format is preferable because it...

### First 3D Printers, Now 3D Scanners


As 3D printers become more and more mainstream, we’re also starting to see growth in other areas of 3D technology. For example, 3D scanners have hit the market and are receiving a lot of attention. They’re being used in medicine, architecture, crime fighting, archaeology, jewelry of course, and more. Exactly What are 3D Scanners? 3D scanners, also called 3D digitizers, laser scanners, or white light scanners, are devices that can capture the geometry of a physical object with millions of measurements and then use that information to generate dense point clouds (a set of data points in some coordinate system). The point clouds, then, represent the points of the physical object that that was measured. Point clouds from 3D scanners are used to create 3D CAD models. Put more simply, 3D scanners can convert the measurements of real objects into computer data that is three-dimensional. Computer modeling programs can then be used to rotate, manipulate, and modify the 3D scanned objects. 3D Scanners and 3D Jewelry Design 3D scanners are especially well-suited to jewelry design, as they are capable of providing great detail and precision; much more detail and precision, in fact, than a photograph or sketch of a jewelry item, which designers often use for creating custom jewelry pieces. And, since most 3D scanners come with software that prepares the scan data file for use in any of the most popular CAD/CAM programs such as 3Design, ArtCAm, Matrix, and Rhino Gold, the jewelry designs can be created, modified, and...

### Rendering for 3D Jewelry Design


The word ‘render’ can have many different meanings, but when it comes to 3D design, ‘render’ has a very specific meaning; 3D rendering is the process of creating a 2D image from 3D data stored in computer files. 3D rendering is a very important part of the 3D jewelry design process, as the rendering stage is what allows us to see what the final design will look like. Unlike jewelry photography, which produces an image of the already created jewelry piece, 3D rendering creates an image of the jewelry piece to be. There are similarities, however, between jewelry photography and jewelry rendering. For example, both use lighting, diffusers, thematic backgrounds, reflections, angle, distance, depth, and more to create the perfect jewelry image. A great deal of skill is also required for creating both types of images. One of the many benefits of jewelry rendering over jewelry photography is that the renders can be created relatively quickly with stunning results, and without having to cast and mold the design to take the photo. The image used for this post is of course, a jewelry render. You can see more examples of beautiful jewelry renders when you browse some of the designs on Jewelrythis.

### Opulent Opal


“October’s child is born for woe, And life’s vicissitudes must know, But lay an opal on her breast, And hope will lull those woes to rest. ” Opal is the traditional birthstone for October, and is often referred to as opulent opal for its gorgeous range of colors. Over 90% of the world’s opals come from Australia making it very fitting that the country’s national gemstone is the opal. While opal’s come in a variety of colors, they do share one defining characteristic: they shine and sparkle in a continuously changing display of colors. If you’re an October baby, then you’re really in luck because jewelry with opals is one of the biggest fashion trends this year. Opals are beautiful set in gold or silver, with or without accent stones, and in different shapes, sizes, and settings. Just imagine an opal in any of the designs on Jewelrythis to see for yourself how truly versatile and beautiful this gem is. Design Your Dream Opal Jewelry

### Sintering Process Breakthrough


If you’re new to the 3D printing revolution or unfamiliar with the sintering process, a brief definition of ‘sintering’ is in order first. Sintering is an additive manufacturing process whereby a solid or porous structure is created from heating and compressing a powdered material. Laser sintering, as the term suggests, uses a laser to sinter the material. With this technique, a laser is aimed at points defined by a 3D model, and used to heat and bind powdered material. This causes the material to coalesce and create a single structure. There are essentially two types of laser sintering processes: selective laser sintering (SLS) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) (note: these processes should be differentiated from direct laser metal melting and direct metal selective laser melting). The primary difference between SLS and DMLS is that DMLS refers to the sintering of metal alloys and SLS refers to the sintering of plastics, glass and ceramics. 3D printing and laser sintering revolutionized the jewelry industry because designs can now be 3D printed as wax models and then cast in the metal alloy of choice, which reduces cost and speeds up production as well as opens avenues for greater creativity. Now, however, there is breakthrough in the sintering process itself. The breakthrough comes in the new ability to 3D print precious metals so that prototype parts and end products can be printed directly. This isn’t actually due to an improvement in additive manufacturing technology, though. Rather, the breakthrough is a result of an...

### 3D Printers - Popping Up Everywhere


Everywhere we turn, we seem to be hearing about 3D printing. There have been stories about 3D printing on BBC news, we’ve seen the introduction of the UK’s Precious Project, an additive manufacturing project for precious metal jewelry, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute in the US, called AmericaMakes, was introduced, there are major efforts underway to support and promote 3D printing and manufacturing in schools, and there has been and continues to be phenomenal interest and growth in 3D printing around the globe. The result of this increased interest and awareness in 3D printing has been greater availability and accessibility to 3D printers for the public.

### June’s Birthstone: The Lovely Pearl


Actually, there are two June birthstones, although the pearl is the more popular of the two. The other birthstone is Alexandrite, which is a very rare and beautiful gemstone that changes its color according to the light. Compared to the pearl, Alexandrite is a relatively modern gem, as it was first discovered in Russia in the 1830s. As you might have guessed, it takes its name from the Russian Czar at that time, Czar Alexander II. The pearl, on the other hand, has a long history, as it has been used for centuries and was a favorite gem of the Roman Empire. The pearl is unique because it is the only gem that comes from a living sea creature and that requires no faceting or polishing. And now that you’ve read this brief tutorial on June’s birthstones, we hope all of you with June birthdays go out and enjoy your celebrations and we wish you all a very happy birthday month!

### Industry News: The Latest in 3D Virtual Display


Moov over Pixar and Disney, there’s a new kid on the block! Well, at least there is in the area of online 3D virtual display animation. We’re talking about RealeyeZ 3D’s new product, RealHD 3D Moov. The RealHD 3D Moov is a 3D marketing and merchandising product that uses an MPG4 movie format, which means it's able to offer features that other 3D marketing products can’t offer. The RealHD 3D Moov is also really user friendly and easy to implement across a variety of platforms, including all mobile devices, YouTube and Facebook. But the most exciting aspect of the RealHD 3D Moov, at least from a Jewelrythis (and the jewelry industry) point of view, is that it can display jewelry designs and gems in all their glory – online! Online viewers can get a realistic, almost hands-on, vision of the jewelry pieces that interest them. This is a terrific selling point for jewelers and designers, as the RealHD 3D Moov both attracts customers as well as makes their actual shopping experience a lot more user friendly and enjoyable. Definitely two thumbs up for this product. But that's just one opinion. What do you think? We would love to hear from you and know what you think of the 3D Moov, or what you think of this post and whether you'd like to read more 'industry news' type posts! And thanks for reading!

“The February-born shall find Sincerity and peace of mind, Freedom from passion and from care, If they an amethyst will wear. ” (author unknown) 1. The word ‘amethyst’ comes from the Greek word, ‘amethystos’, which means ‘sober’. The ancient Greeks believed that the amethyst protected them from becoming drunk. In fact, the practice of drinking wine from cups made from amethyst originated from that belief. 2. The amethyst is a quartz stone of the purple variety and is the most valued member of the quartz family. Amethysts must be purple, but they can come in a variety of shades of purple, including lavender, lilac, and mauve. Their properties and textures change with the locations from where they are mined.

### Answers to Facebook Quiz!


"If cold December gave you birth, The month of snow and ice and mirth, Place on your hand a turquoise blue; Success will bless whate'er you do. " ~ Gregorian Birthstone Poems Did you know that the month of December is the only month that has three birthstones? The other months have only one or two birthstones. December’s birthstones are turquoise, Tanzanite, and blue topaz. Given the bluish hue to all of these stones, it’s not hard to guess, then, that December’s color is blue. While you might have already known blue is the color for December, did you also know that turquoise made its way to Europe via Turkey and hence derives its name from Turkey? Or that Tanzanite derives its name from the country of Tanzania, the only country in the world where you can find this rare and beautiful gem. And here’s one more fact for you: December’s other birthstone, the blue topaz, also happens to be the state gem for Texas. So, those are the fun facts for now. More interesting facts, updates, and JewelryThis news coming soon in our next blog post. Thanks for visiting!

Surveyor using a Tripod Laser leveler - Photo by Mila K The Power of Symbolism The inspiration came from a tool her daughter used daily on the construction site—a tripod laser leveler.

Oksana wanted to turn this symbol of hard work and maturity into something wearable—a tribute in silver to her daughter’s journey.

### Celebrating Family Heritage: The Journey of Recreating Lost Rings


Jewelry possesses the remarkable ability to encapsulate and preserve cherished memories along life's journey. When a beloved piece is lost, it feels like those memories are lost with it. That's why we understand the profound importance of recreating sentimental jewelry to recapture those memories and restore their deep historical significance. Ken approached us with a treasured jewelry memory that remained close to his heart. During his childhood, he and his father possessed matching rings, a heartfelt gift from his grandfather. Regrettably, these cherished rings were lost sometime back in the 1970s. This year marked his father's 80th birthday, and with the recent loss of his mother, Ken believed that recreating these rings would be a beautiful and symbolic birthday gift. The jewelry journey Recreating jewelry from memory can be a challenging endeavor, particularly considering that Ken was under the age of 10 when he lost his precious ring.

In Spencer’s case, he had been carrying the hope of finding just the right brooch to wear while showing and riding his horse at equestrian events. Once he discovered JewelryThis, Spencer was prepped and ready with a design made for his wedding day almost a decade before, in 2014. At that time, wanting to honor the symbols portrayed in his husband’s grandfather’s family crest, Spencer’s design combined the initials H and S into a unique logo featuring a heart, elegantly nested into a set of antlers. This combining of initials and the family crest represented the joining of two worlds and their histories. Spencer was excited to create a meaningful custom brooch from this design to wear while showing his horse, something to best fit a moment he is always very proud of. Spencer’s Logo Design The Jewelry Journey Making a piece of jewelry from an existing logo could sound daunting to some, but not us. We love to take custom sentimental logos, emblems or initials and celebrate them through the medium of jewelry.

### Music Love in a Bracelet


Music and song carry the power to motivate, uplift, transport us to our past, give hope for the future, and provide a soundtrack through the phases of our lives. Certainly, this was the case for Jo, a Bruce Springsteen fan with a lifetime of memories of concerts and a member of a devoted fan community. Jo had been inspired over 20 years ago with a song lyric that was important to her.

### Pendant For Your Own Gemstone


As custom jewelry designers, we have seen countless requests to create something special and breathtaking for a loved one. Doug approached us with a request for a pendant featuring four gemstones, one each for his wife, Carol, and three sons, as a Christmas gift for Carol. What especially inspired us was that Doug himself had cut and faceted his own gemstones for the pendant, a process that requires patience, skill and dedication. If done right, this pendant would truly be one of the most personalized and one-of-a-kind pieces we had made. Doug wanted a simple and elegant design that Carol would love and that would also showcase his hard work, and we presented him with some options to look at. Time was of the essence, and he worked closely with our consultant to quickly finalize the design, a delicate sterling silver tree surrounded by a heart, its four branches each holding one of the stones.

### A Trip’s Memories Set in Tanzanite


When a client approaches us with a jewelry dream inspired by travel, we get more excited than usual, and especially when it is a piece that is for themselves, a “self-gift”. A travel experience is as individual as the creations we bring to life; as unique as each human spirit. Suzanne’s story is remarkable in that her jewelry dream was completely unplanned and may never have happened at all, were it not for a plane delay! Suzanne was prepared for her flight home from Tanzania after a memorable trip full of adventure. Her bags were packed, her passport in the right pocket. When the flight was unexpectedly delayed for 48 hours, she found herself touring a local tanzanite museum, and was captivated not only by the striking color spectrum of the gorgeous blue-purple tanzanite itself, but also by the mining process as well as tanzanite’s importance to the local economy. In her two extra days in Tanzania, Suzanne had gained new friends, experienced amazing food, and was struck by the beauty of the local area. She tried, unsuccessfully, to find a suitable memento in the mine’s museum gift shop, hoping to stumble upon a tanzanite ring that she could wear to remember this serendipitous sidetrack to her plans. After arriving home from her trip, Suzanne contacted Jewelrythis to commission the tanzanite ring that she had envisioned. We pored over every detail to create a memento that would be designed exclusively for her, visually stunning in every way, and also durable...

### A Family Tradition


We believe in the importance of family and tradition, so when we were asked to create this very symbolic and traditional pendant we couldn't say no. In this story, Andrea came to us with a request to make a pair of pendants for her son’s wedding day for him and his future wife to wear. These weren't just any old pendant. These pendants were the same ones that Andrea and her husband have; a special and symbolic token shared from generation to generation. The pendants ( as seen below) are double-sided with slightly different faces. The message along the outside is Latin for "together even when apart". The memories, stories of special moments, and love symbolized by these pendants are evident in both their design and the unique and special tradition they carry. Andrea and Her Husband's Original Pendants The Jewelry Journey Any time a jewelry piece has to be custom designed in time for a specific deadline, a little extra pressure is added to the jewelry design and production process, but when the jewelry is also supposed to be worn such a special day like a wedding, that pressure seems to go through the roof. Despite the pressure, we are happy to say that our team of highly-skilled master jewelers was able to perfectly capture the details of the pendant just as Andrea's son remembered the pendants that were worn by his mother and father for many years before. However, once the design was approved by Andrea, we still...

### Recreating a Lost Wedding Ring


Overview We first met May when she came to us distraught because she had lost her wedding ring, which she’d been wearing since she’d been married – 17 years. May explained that she had tried to go back to the store where she and her husband had originally purchased the ring, but the store was closed and she had nowhere to go to buy another ring that looked just like her old ring. In fact, May had been searching for someone to replicate her ring for over two years, when she finally heard about Jewelrythis and decided to see if we were up to the challenge. The Jewelry Journey The problem we faced with recreating May’s wedding ring was twofold: 1) She only had a single, blurry photo of her ring and a photo of a similar ring found online for our designer to use to recreate her ring; 2) The ring had a unique finish that was not clearly captured in her photo so we had to rely solely on her verbal description to replicate the finish. we set about the task hoping to turn May’s distress into happiness.

I can turn any jewelry idea you have into a reality and I cant wait to get started :)

### Tricia


I’ve been passionate about and have loved creating jewelry for as long as I can remember. Some of my first memories include crafting a macaroni necklace in preschool, where I was the only one in the class that filled the entire string. I’m a GIA Graduate Bench Jeweler and a GIA Graduate Gemologist. With over 15 years in the jewelry industry, I’ve worked in a variety of capacities, including sales person, repair coordinator and bench jeweler. My favorite moment is seeing people experience joy in their new jewelry.

### Aron


I have over 40 years of experience as a jeweler for some of the most renowned jewelry brands and my jewelry has been displayed in many of the finest US galleries. I’ve created pieces ranging from $1,000 to over $1. 2 million, but what I find most rewarding are clients who are inspired by the beauty of jewelry. With years of experience as a jeweler for many of the world’s most renowned jewelry brands and retailers, Aron Suley is something of a celebrity in the world of jewelry. Fortunately, Jewelrythis is lucky enough to have him on the team as our very own resident expert in Jewelry Design and Master Jeweler.
