One of the most enduring and popular types of jewelry is stone jewelry, which features precious or semi-precious stones set into metal settings. Creating stone jewelry is an intricate process that requires a high level of skill and precision. The process begins with the selection of the stone, which is then cut and polished to enhance its natural beauty. The stone is then set into a metal setting, which is commonly made from sterling silver or fine silver. Whether you’re looking for a birthstone ring to celebrate your birthday month, or a statement ring or necklace to elevate your outfit, there’s no denying the allure of stone jewelry. Its timeless appeal makes it an excellent choice for personal adornment or as a gift for someone special.

STERLING AND STONE JEWELRY

All of my stone jewelry is one-of-a-kind and crafted by hand using raw materials. My specialty is creating custom handmade stone rings, stone pendants set in sterling silver, and stone intarsia. If you don’t see a stone you love, I have stone slabs available in many colors, which can be cut into any size and shape, and set in a custom sterling silver bezel to create a custom piece of stone jewelry in sterling silver.

WHAT IS THE BEST SILVER TO USE FOR JEWELRY?

The world of jewelry is vast and diverse, with an array of metals and gemstones to choose from. Among these, silver stands out due to its timeless elegance, affordability, and versatility. However, not all silver is created equal. If you’re considering investing in a piece of sterling and stone jewelry or looking into handmade sterling silver jewelry, it’s essential to understand the different types of silver used in jewelry making. The best type of silver to use for jewelry is sterling silver.

STERLING SILVER DURABILITY

Sterling silver’s durability sets it apart from other types of silvers used in jewelry making. The addition of other metals like copper gives it strength without compromising its beautiful shine and coloration that people love about pure silver. This durability makes handmade sterling silver jewelry perfect for everyday wear – whether as rings, bracelets, necklaces or earrings – without worrying about easy damage or wear and tear.

VALUE FOR MONEY

Handmade sterling silver jewelry offers excellent value for money compared to other precious metals like gold or platinum. It’s more affordable, yet it provides the same sophisticated look and feel. This affordability allows you to own a collection of various jewelry in sterling silver, giving you more options to match your outfits or occasions.

THE UNIQUE CHARM OF HANDMADE STERLING SILVER JEWELRY

There’s something uniquely appealing about handmade jewelry. Each piece carries the artisan’s personal touch and craftsmanship that mass-produced items can’t replicate. Handmade sterling silver jewelry is no exception. The intricate designs and meticulous attention to detail make each piece unique – a work of art that adds value beyond just the material used.
