This bracelet is getting to a pendant. Here is to see first how it is melted. Further work process from the workshop, I will document with photos.

clacking wedding rings

This slightly different wedding rings are based on an idea that I have already been implemented for a jewelry ring. Actually there are two separate rings that I have combined to form a ring. In this case, the ring, which lies directly on the finger of white gold in the 585's - alloy steel.
The fact that he has a convex shape, form a broad guide on which to the outer ring (here in yellow gold) to turn freely. The outer ring has so much space that it is a shaking of the ring clacking noise. Can solve the yellow gold ring will not work because its internal diameter is slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the edges of the white gold ring. As a bonus for the ladies, a small diamond ring has been caught. The customers had told me afterwards that it is fun to play with the ring on her finger.

Famous Pearls

A famous pearl is the Pellegrina . This pearl was the beginning of the 19th Century to the Russian Jewellers Zosima to Moscow sold. Their exact origin is not known. However, it is possible that this is a rare jewel of the French crown jewels is that disappeared during the French Revolution. This pearl was missing, "Reine des Perles". It was silvery, round and weighed 5.6 g. A Pellegrina as designated by Perle appeared in London in 1935 an exhibition on. But she had the shape of a teardrop. It is still not known what the original Pellegrina Pearl has become the out. Whether it is information from Russia is not known to me.

Belt buckle in sterling silver with wood and gold

This oval belt buckle is in sterling silver work and fit into a 4 cm wide belt. It is simple and straightforward, and yet it works through the color contrast and the different surface structures in the metal. The dark brown tone of the ebony and the cool sheen of silver in the sunlight harmonize quite well. Focus is the polished wooden track in a frame of yellow gold (585 -).

I think that you can wear this buckle both with jeans and an elegant suit.

Wide plain silver ring with tourmaline

Here I present a 

, Simple, almost classical ring in silver with a tourmaline in a 585 / - before he replaced. The tourmaline is cut in cabochon and is centrally focus on the solid ring rail. The polished surface of the rail has a thin elongated structure in contrast to the text and the stone, with its beautiful clear color.
I personally like precious stones in cabochon actually more than faceted stones when they received only by their color appearance.

Earrings white gold with diamonds

"But the wait has paid off" - these were the first words of a very delighted customer who planned on something as their new jewelry had to wait longer, unfortunately.
She had brought me old ear plugs, in which the diamonds in yellow gold were processed.

Studs 585 / - white gold with diamonds

These are diamonds weighing 0.25 ct and 0.08 ct .. This one has an idea of ​​the size, here the diameter of each of the diamonds: 0.25 ct have a diameter of 4 mm and 0.08 ct one of 2.7 mm.

Agate

The name agate is derived from a river in Sicily, the Achates.

Agate is one of the group of crystals. Its Mohs hardness is 6.5-7. Like all quartz agate is silicon dioxide.

Agate is a concentric-shelled, striped chalcedony, which may well be crossed by Opalsubstanz. These ribbons are color coded or monotonous. The agates were found in Germany, pink, red and brown with gray liners. The agates, which are promoted in South America are usually gray and without striking
Drawing. Nevertheless, here today, the most important development areas (Uruguay, Brazil). This greyish agate can be chemically treated and are thus nachgefärbt in general. The Romans knew of the agate dyeing techniques.

Amethyst Geode

Agates are found as almond-shaped  or spherical inclusions in so-called geodes. These are partially or completely filled cavities. You can size from a few millimeters to several meters in scope. The striped pattern formed by rhythmic crystallization. The exact procedure is controversial. The individual agate bands vary in thickness. They retain their strength but usually in throughout the Geode. The interior of the Geode not completely filled with agate mass can thus formed in the cavity formed crystals. These are mostly rock crystal, amethyst or smoky quartz.

Very heavy gold ring for men

This was a remittance workt for a not so frugal Scots. He has described to me in conversation the idea of ​​his dream ring as clearly as possible. Then I made sketches and again talked to him about this. After the appearance of the ring was now quite clear and I told the customer that the ring must be cast, I made a rough model made of wax.

Care of Opal jewelery

Opal is a fragile gemstone. It has a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5 and is located in the Mohs scale of hardness in the midfield. He should take but definitely at work. Otherwise, an opal holds for itself. But there are differences in the individual opaline (see elsewhere). General boulder are seen as the most resistant.

Sapphire - gem of the corundum group

There are two color varieties of corundum. We distinguish the red ruby ​​and all other colors comprehensive sapphire. All common corundum, which will have no quality jewelry used for jewelry purposes and not used as an abrasive. Everyone is familiar with sandpaper, is used for fine-grained corundum.

THE SAPPHIRE

The term sapphire (gr.blue) was formerly used for different stones. In part to the Middle Ages was understood to be sapphire today's most lapis lazuli. By 1800 it was recognized that constitute ruby ​​and sapphire gem qualities of corundum.

Padparadscha Sapphire

Today, sapphires which are not identified by a qualified blue word, such as yellow or green sapphire.
The name sapphire is always based only on the blue variant. Colorless Sapihre, which also serve as a diamond substitute, is known as Leukosaphir (large white). The term "Padparadscha means reddish to

What makes the value of a pearl?

The luster of the pearl should be the expert "chandeliers" and is a combination of the shimmering surface and the inner glow of the pearl dar. In any event the chandeliers are shiny and bright. On the surface, one should recognize their own mirror image. A dull or chalky white surface is always a sign of low quality.

The pearl's surface should be flat as possible. Indentations, scratches or stains even reduce the value. The smoother and smoother the surface, the more valuable the pearl.

White gold bracelet with black sapphire

Suitable for a pendant the customer wanted a bracelet. To my knowledge, the trailer came from Morocco and was worked in silver. It was a trailer that is decorated with a wire cord. This cord wire I have in my entire bracelet again included. The customer was then processed in a stone bracelet in white gold. It is 585 / - it white gold.
The clip has a delicate and subtle through the open structure, although it is a rather large stone. The slightly grayish desWeißgolds (Paladiumweißgold) fits very nicely with the dark stone. I deal almost exclusively palladium white gold, because it may result in contrast to nickel white gold is not allergic reactions (nickel allergy).

From old gold to new ring

A customer had several rings that did not carry them anymore. These rings were used as scrap gold for a new production. They wanted a solid wide ring and had a clear idea that she could show me brought along by a photo from a brochure or catalog.

The ring should be 10 mm wide. I transferred the proportions of the original on this width. Thus, it was also clear how large the diamond, which should be incorporated, must be harmonized so that it visually and technically is tangible. Brilliant I ordered this in a very good quality and started to work.

The customer now has a very high quality new ring she fact that she had not the old gold by far had to pay as much. You need only pay the diamonds and the amount of work and finally had a ring - it would have had no scrap gold - around € 820.00 was less than without the old gold.

And above all, it has a ring on which they can enjoy for years.

The name Opal is derived from the ancient Indian word "upala" = stone. For many minerals lovers opal is the "king of gems.

Depending on the angle and lighting changes colors, and seem to lie in different planes, which gives the stone occasionally a mysterious blur.
