Over the Top!

If you are in the mood for something really extravagant... well we have that too! Here are a few choices from some of our favorite Fine Jewelry Designers.

Sarah Graham is a wonderful California designer who works in 18k yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as cobalt chrome. Her beautiful stones are conflict free diamonds and sapphires. She only uses recycled gold.

These beautiful hoops are crafted in cobalt chrome with diamonds and pink sapphires set in 18k white gold.

Sarah is probably best known for her pebble stacking rings. These are a few of the ones we currently have, though we can order any configuration. These rings contain many colors of saphhires, as well as diamonds... Again, set in 18k gold or cobalt chrome. Start with one and add on.

In 1992, Todd Reed launched a collection under his own name and set out to change the future of the fine jewelry industry by designing solely with raw, uncut diamonds and recycled metals. Twenty years later, his raw diamonds are still considered to be among the most revolutionary design steps that the jewelry industry has taken.

This beautiful pendant is made of textured and patinaed sterling silver and is set with brilliant white diamonds and Autumn diamonds. The bracelet shown below is sterling silver with a patina, with raw and natural color diamonds set in 18k gold.

Reed's collection continues to grow and evolve, as does his interest in and relationship with the material. "I source ethically mined and socially responsible diamonds throughout the world. This has been a personal ethic for more than a decade before the phrase conflict free diamonds entered the public awareness." In recent years, he has expanded upon his original raw cube designs with a collection of naturally colored diamonds fashioned into antique rose and old mine cuts.

Suzy Landa left her career in the Movie Industry industry in 2003 to pursue her real love... jewelry design. In 2004 she won the "Rising Star" award at her first ever high end Industry show.

Suzy designs her jewelry to be worn. It is elegant.. finely crafted in 18k gold with diamonds and other precious stones. She is drawn to striking shapes and colors, and influenced by mid-century art,architecture, and graphic design,creating jewelry that marries an old world air with a modern flair.
