Wanna see what one of my clients ordered?

Feb 15 2010

This is is a custom order for a client through one my my jewelers, but it was so pretty, I thought I’d share.  She asked for something “red, white, and black” with a particular set of letters (don’t see a reason to share that!) The sparkly silver is a new new “kind” of silver, Argentium, which has an alloy called Germanium in it which makes it virtually tarnish resistant.  It’s much more expensive than .925 sterling silver, but for this finish, it’s worth every penny, since traditional silver is essentially un-polishable in the laser-cut “sugar-coat” finish.  It never, ever, looks right once it tarnishes, so these are a real find!  They actually look a lot like white gold, because the color of Argentium silver is “whiter” than traditional silver. If you look closely, there’a a vibrant rainbow beaming off of them!  I’m sure the client will appreciate it once she gets it out into the sunshine.
