Jane Wullbrandt Fine Jewelry Designs
In creating my GemDrop Earrings, I returned to my roots in custom design and combined colorful gemstones I had tucked away in gem papers, combining and remixing them in these updated earrings with a fun burst of color.

The process of creating a jewel is lengthy. A detailed study of the stone and material is required, along with an elaboration of the initial model, moulding, polishing, setting, rhodium plating, etching to attain an irreproachable quality. From inspiration to production, the entire manufacturing process is placed beneath the mark of excellence.

Richard Krementz Gemstones
We have a color for every passion...and a passion for every color. No other collection features the depth of so many different gems. Our designs are inspired by the unique beauty of each individual gem. Each piece is a masterwork; a miniature sculpture in platinum, 18 karat and diamonds crowned by a one-of-a-kind gem.

NOAM CARVER
The starting point for many of my designs begins with a main center stone. For this piece I chose to feature a Lodolite quartz. The natural unique crystallization that forms beneath the clear quartz brings to mind the endless mystifying expanse of space. An extra element that I truly enjoy is the magnifying effect that the quartz has on the underlying natural formations. A special attribute to this type of stone is that no two are alike and I spent a great deal of time selecting the one that spoke to me. The Lodolite Quartz that I chose to feature displayed a rare "Pinkish", peachy color crystallization. What better, than to combine this stone with a similar shade found in pink gold? The Play of these two colors complimented each other quite nicely. Around the center stone I adorned the outer frame with 44 round brilliant cut diamonds. The addition of diamonds into this mix only further enhanced the brilliance of this piece.

The People's Choice Winners in February


Armenta
The inspirations behind many of Armenta's designs are taken from the work's of the renowned Spanish poet, Federico Garcia Lorca. Stumbling upon his works, Armenta was immediately moved by Lorca's passion and understanding of the power of creativity in all its forms, especially Duende, a spirit of unpredictable passion that surges within us and how it manifests itself as a creative force.

Bertoni Designs
Bertoni Designs is dedicated to creating a high quality product of handmade jewelry. The pieces are sculpted in wax by hand and then cast in 18K gold. Various precious and semi-precious stones are used to enhance and add color to the designs. The theme of the collection is nature, and my aim is to capture a few of its elements. Through this theme, I hope that the wearer of my jewelry can be reminded of a special moment in time, like a ray of sunshine or a babbling brook that may have inspired them. Each and every one of us is an organic being, and my nature-inspired jewelry designs are to remind us of our roots and molecular place in the universe. My designs are created with the good intention and comfort of the wearer in mind. I carefully polish and file the edges on each design, leaving no rough spots, so the jewelry feels very smooth to the touch. It is comfortable to wear for hours, days, and even years to come. This high-quality execution results in customers instantly connecting with my concept, resulting in a sense of confidence and beauty, while accented by this fine handmade colorful jewelry. The success of Bertoni Designs campaign is based upon its sheik organic designs and the happiness of its wearer. Happiness is contagious, and if a consumer enjoys wearing my designs, their friends, family and co-workers, etc. will be excited to purchase and wear a Bertoni Designs handmade piece of their own.

Skatell's Manufacturing Jewelers
At Skatell's Manufacturing Jewelers our inspiration is always to create estate worthy pieces that are both exceptional and timeless. The anchor of this design is a stunning 53.45 carat cognac quartz. We used the juxtaposition of a delicate, interlocking ribbon-like pattern to soften the look of the impressive cognac quartz and prong set diamonds on the overlapping layers to increase the elegance. From its beginnings as a humble sketch, this pendant was created entirely in house by our team of designers and master jewelers. We are pleased to add this creation to our portfolio of one of a kind pieces made for our store and our many clients who desire something as unique as they are. All CAD, milling, hand fabrication, casting, and stone setting done in house.
