Custom Made Designer Talismans and
Jewelry
Yes, all of our astrological talismans and jewelry you
see on the site have been custom made!. With the exception of 3-gems,
engagement
rings and some other, very few settings, the rest
have been created by us. We offer custom-made jewelry for all the stones
you see on the site. As our prices are the most competitive for the
quality offered, both in terms of colored stones and custom-made jewelry, we do
not make pieces with other people stones.
This creation process usually sparks
during our overseas, buying trips, when we buy or deal a particular
stone or group of stones. When Rodolfo chooses a stone, he already
envision the finished piece. It is a furtive glimpse, a creative vision. Be it a square cushion or trillion,
Ceylon
sapphire, an oval, Colombian emerald or a Burma ruby, it is a this point that
something starts to be created.
Technically, however, the custom
piece itself start with a design, back in our office, only after the
customer has chosen a gem. Factors like male or female taste,
size, shape and depth of the stone, finger size, metal used, all of
these variants, will determine the design. Once the design is finalized, a wax is then modeled by hand, filed and carved out .If
it is a ring, the exact
finger size is defined at this moment.
When the wax is done, we send the wax to a casting
company, specifying the metal chosen by the customer. We get the casting
back usually in a week or so, then we set the stone(s) and we hand polish the
final piece. Even though, I made it simple and in very few words, the
process of creating a beautiful custom jewel is intense and laborious.
Precision, exactness and patient is required to create that perfect,
one-of-a-kind piece that will charm the eyes and withstand the passage
of time.
