EARTHLY DESIGN

“I can’t seem to ever surprise this woman!” My client explained in a half serious, half silly tone. “I have tried and tried, and she watches my every move, she always knows what presents I get her.”

He carefully instructed me to never text any photos, and he would call if and when I ever needed anything. “Is there any way to make a rose petal pendant out of rubies?” He asked. This was going to be his first surprise Christmas gift, with a very generous budget. He was determined and extremely excited.

For weeks, I sketched out rose concepts of all kinds. From different angles, and sizes, and processes. Nothing pleasing to my eye. Definitely nothing willing to show a client. Everything fell short of a beautiful rose. Magma Gems does not do hokey and cheesy. It’s something that royalty would wear or we don’t create it at all.

A few weeks later. “How’s it going, are we going to make it by Christmas?” My nervous excited client probed.
Assured him I was on it. I shared some of my artist frustrations, stated that we do not do anything unless it’s done extremely well, and we had a great conversation.

His final words and affirmation, “You have my complete trust and I know you will figure it out.” My client encouraged.

Yet a few weeks later, I was crumbling up yet another wasted sketch at my desk. The day was coming to an and decided to head to the grocery store. It was then, while passing some flowers for sale in a bucket, that I realized something significant. The fact that each natural rose was in itself, a unique work of art. How does an earthly designer improve on a heavenly creation? Roses and flowers make us feel a certain way when we see them, smell them and experience them. They inspire.

That was it I wanted. To design something that made people feel a certain way when they saw and wore it. It needs to be “Rose” inspired.

Behold, a 14 karat rose gold custom design, and cast pendant. With the main stone being a outstanding, full carat, round brilliant cut NATURAL diamond. Surrounded by Marquis cut NATURAL Rubys of the highest quality. Accented with four triangle cut NATURAL diamonds, on the outer perimeter, to represent the thorns.

After an incredibly difficult, and trying time to get this incredible piece to our client by Christmas. The job was completed and delivered.

“How in the world did you guys pull this off without me, knowing?” My client’s wife asked when she gave me a call after Christmas. “This is probably the most incredible piece of jewelry I’ve ever owned.” She gushed with a quivered and grateful voice.

Reach out to me today, if you’re interested in making something that’s heirloom worthy, royalty inspired, and surprisingly affordable.

UNCOMMON PARTNERSHIP

“We are thinking maybe turquoise?” She asked inquisitively. “Have you ever designed an engagement diamond ring with turquoise stones?” My heart leaped. My mind’s eye went wild with ideas.
“Not yet.” I responded.

The thought of designing and creating such an interesting ring really gets any Jeweler excited. Especially in a world full of factory fashion and man made lab diamonds.

Frankly, the only thing that comes to anyone’s mind regarding turquoise, is the rough cut Southwestern style set in sterling. When you picture fine jewelry, we don’t imagine turquoise.

“Do you have a pencil?” She asked. I handed her a pad of paper and a pencil. “I have always dreamed of Blue Sapphires too.” As she sketched out some pretty cool ideas. “Is there any way to incorporate those as well?”

The final result was a gorgeous, custom designed and cast, 14k white gold wedding set. A Round Brilliant Cut Natural Diamond for the main ring. Topped with a Marquis Cut Natural Sapphire, with a Cabochon Cut Kingsman Arizona Turquoise set on either side. With three Round Cut Natural Sapphires, prong set at each focal point.

The Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of the oldest and highest producing Turquoise Mines in America. This Arizona mine was once part of a boom around 1000 AD when the Mayan culture was using a lot of Turquoise for self adornments.

The matching band to this Mayan inspired design came in the form of a royal crown. With Cabochon Turquoise and Sapphires, these matching gem stones are prong set to surround the main Diamond perfectly. A balanced tribute.

“I’ve never seen her so happy.” Her fiancé admitted. “She won’t quit looking at it, thank you so much!”

Although not an easily conceived design and creation. The honor was completely ours, to have the opportunity to create such an uncommon partnership of gemstones.

Have a custom jewelry idea?
Maybe have some old fine jewelry you’re not wearing or using? Lets create something beautiful together.

WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS LOOK LIKE?
For the life of me, I could not find our newest Magma Gems Intern the other day. Please keep reading, it’s worth your time 🙂

I had just finished helping one of our customers (super kind man) for about a half an hour. At least I thought we were done helping him. Little did I know, after I went back to my office, that same customer returned inside and asked my Intern if he could help him get his tire jack out of his car for him.

“Sure! You gotta flat tire?” The customer admitted he did. “Let me take a look at it, I gotta tire plug patch kit in my car….maybe I can fix it.” The customer wasn’t sure about all this, but he followed him right out into the parking lot.

After about one minute. Our Intern knew the tire was beyond a quick repair. Next thing you know, he was pulling out the customer’s jack, tire and proceeded to change his tire. This is where I FINALLY found him 🙂

This is Ryan Oppermann. This is the type of person we want joining our team. We are excited to announce that Ryan has committed the rest of his working life to Magma Gems…..lol just kidding of course 😀

Welcome aboard Ryan, and well done showing ALL of us what the Christmas season looks like.
Very proud of you!

DO THEY HAVE DAMASCUS STEEL??

Okay, I’m trying to help you out here for the impossible person to buy for….but if your loved one already owns Damascus steel then I just can’t help you this year for Christmas lol 😀

I’m always on the search for The ultimate Artisans who design and create things here in America that are worth owning. These hand made blades are an outstanding gift that someone will keep forever and even use.

According to the creator of these knives and professional Metalsmith, Larry Henderson, “Damascus steel is a type of steel easily recognisable by its wavy patterned design. Aside from its sleek look and beautiful aesthetics, Damascus steel is highly valued as it is hard and flexible while maintaining a sharp edge. Weapons forged from Damascus steel were far superior to those formed from just iron.”

Larry continues, “Damascus steel is not a material, but a process that is used to combine different types of steel into a beautiful, hardened blade. We fold the 15n20 nickel and 1095 high carbon 8 times, which gives your blades 512 layers.”

Which makes every single blade one of a kind. Getting a perfection in a pattern is where the skill of the artisan and my picky eye comes in 😉

Camel bone, giraffe bone, sheep horn, African walnut, rosewood, buffalo horn, pinecone (surprisingly cool), and palm wood. All with individual Damascus steel blades. All come with custom leather handmade sheaths (sorry no boxes). These knives are ready for work or show. Extremely durable.

We have only a few examples for sale at our Saginaw store and a few different examples for sale in our Frankenmuth store.

Some of the best metalsmithing and wood and resin handles I’ve seen in a long time. Handmade one-of-a-kind. Prices are $468 each, your choice. I have seen this quality sell for more than six hundred and I’ve seen them go for as high as eight hundred.
Not the crap you find on Amazon (note: I like Amazon but not for high-quality one-of-a-kind pieces that you would expect to last).

The perfect gift??
That’s for you to decide.
Merry Christmas and I wish all of you well in your search for the perfect gifts this season 🙂
