The expert jewelry artisans at Master Jewelers understand the intricate process and details that go into designing that special piece of jewelry.

This is done during the sketch phase of our intricate design process.
- See it before it is made- Part of designing jewelry is getting to see it before it delivered to make sure every detail is right where you want it. Our second phase of custom designing jewelry is to handcraft a wax model to replicate the feeling and size of the piece you are designing. At Master Jewelers, our jewelry craftsman has over 20 years of experience to go along with the state of the art design studio.
- Choose your Metal– Once the design is complete and we have perfected your design replica, we begin the manufacturing process by casting the metal of your choice. This is a very detailed and time-consuming part of the design as it is the foundation for your beautiful piece. This is where our craftsmen truly get to show off their skill and talent from years of experience.
- The Grand Finale– Finishing and setting the stones is just as important as building the foundation of the design. This is the final step that will leave you with a final product. Everything should be perfect. The craftsmen will pay close attention to details to anything misplaced or loose. You can bet a full inspection will be repeated as the craftsman will walk you through your perfect piece.
Master Jewelers believes it is important to share their love and craft for jewelry. You will be apart of your design every step of the way.

Tips on how to photograph your jewelry with a smartphone
In this selfie age, pictures from our phone’s camera sweep across our social media pages. Millions of user hashtag #jewelry in hope of sharing their artistic creation with a sole aim of getting likes in exchange for promoting a specific piece or brand. Jewelry is more than just a materialistic item; it is an expression of personality, moments cherished and love shared. It is only natural that people take to social media to post images that share a story of their lives.
Taking a picture of your jewelry using a smartphone seems so easy and basic. It is believed that capturing pictures is as accessible as your smartphone, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. In trying to capture the true beauty of your piece in a photo, there are few tips or guidelines that you should consider before hiring that final share button.
- Check your smartphone camera settings: Setting up your camera phone is important to capture a complimenting picture. Do not use zoom or flash. Zoom will distort the image and pixelation causing a blurry, unflattering photo. Flash will flatten out your jewelry design. External light is recommended for jewelry rather than direct light from the flash.
- Prepare your jewelry: It is essential to properly prepare your jewelry before taking a picture. It doesn’t matter what settings or camera you use. You need to clean and stage-create your jewelry. Firstly, clean and polish your jewelry or better yet make it professionally cleaned. Not only will your jewelry be picture perfect it will also preserve its originality. Secondly, strategically place your items, previewing any special features like gemstones, stamps etc. Make sure it’s best assets are represented. Whatever stage background you use must compliment the colors of your piece.
- Use light appropriate to the environment: Lighting is everything. It is what helps capture the shine and glitter within the image. External shooting in the shade is a better option. Sounds absurd, but surprisingly you will get a natural light that won’t leave a glare or sharp contrast. You can also use the direct sunlight in addition to a white backdrop or foil to bounce the sunlight on to the piece.
- Steady Camera hands: Setting up your perfect picture scene is only half of the process. Taking a quality picture is the other half. Make sure you snap the right angles and get a clear and clean view of the item.

The September Sapphire: The Promise of Honesty
The Sapphire is the month of September’s birthstone. The name Sapphire is Greek for the color blue, which at first glance couldn’t be more fitting. However, is a wrong assumption that blue is the “only” color of a Sapphire Gem. Sapphires come in an array of colors from the rainbow. While the blue colored Sapphire is more commonly known and worn, the rare pink colored corundum is just as prestigious. White Sapphires are also rare yet popularly common.
The blue-violet stone has been around for centuries worn by some of the most nobles figures throughout our history and time. Sapphires are found all over the world, but regions of eastern Australia, Myanmar, Kashmir, and Sri-Lanka know to home next to perfect Sapphires. The purer blue of the gem, the higher the cost of the Sapphire. However many of us tend to favor the deeper blue gemstones.
The cost of a natural (Blue) Sapphire varies on different intricate detail.

The Sapphire is a tough and durable gem, and its strength matches its beauty. The Sapphire and Ruby gemstones are the only two corundum (rock-forming mineral), however, the only other gemstone stronger than a Sapphire is the Diamond. The gemstone is mined out of alluvial deposits primarily underground. Sapphire commercial mining locations can be found in various countries, like Afghanistan, Australia, China, Nepal, Thailand, USA, and several others. Each Sapphire is different depending on the region it was birthed. Each gem’s value is not guaranteed to based on the region of origin.
Sapphires represent honesty, loyalty, purity, and trust. Their beauty is widely respected as much as their value. Master Jewelers has been buying and crafting jewelry from Sapphires for almost 20 years. When buying any fine jewelry or gemstones it is recommended to use a jeweler you can trust. Check out our collection of Sapphires. Some are from our exclusive designers while others have been custom designers by Master Jeweler’s expert artisans.

Just Because Says I Love You
Too often we forget to tell the ones we love how much we appreciate them. It isn’t until a common holiday or special event do we take the time to tell the ones most important to us we care. The originality of the “thought” has almost become extinct because of our fast-paced lives. Nothing says I love you more than gifting that special someone a new piece of jewelry out of the blue to add to their collection.
At Master Jewelers, we have a skilled team of artisans awaiting to help you bring your love to life. Here are a few examples of how we can help you say just because.
Custom
Custom design may sound scarily expensive and assumed to need a special event to create such an iconic piece of jewelry. Truth is, those are myths. Custom design gives you control of the cost while we account for every detail to complete your vision. We have an innovative custom design process that will deliver your message through any created piece. Custom jewelry is a one of a kind piece made from your heart with the creative help of a passionate design team. Designing a gift is always a great choice, but it isn’t your only option.
Designer Collection

Celebrating or cherishing a bond with a lover, mother or father on a holiday is fun, but taking unscheduled time out of your busy schedule just to Say I Love You….Priceless!

Things To Remember This Father’s Day
Father’s day is dedicated to celebrating the love, sacrifices and hard work from the father figures in our lives. We use this special day to appreciate all of their selfless actions that help guide us through life. By definition, a father is a person who fills that role in your life.
Finding the perfect gift can be tricky. You want it to resemble the immense love in your heart while matching your pocketbook. It has to be something they will adore and cherish like you cherish them.
Jewelry is not just for mothers. It is a great option for a father’s day gift too. Whether it is your father, husband, or brother, there are so many pieces to choose from ranging in design and price. It is a keepsake that will last for years to come.
Here are a few tips to remember this Father’s day from our team at Master Jewelers.
- Make it something he can use. Dads are constantly doing things for us. The best gift you can get him is something he will use often, if not daily. For example, cuff links are a great reminder he is loved on those hard days at the office.
- Just for him. World’s greatest dad, just isn’t a big enough title on a day when everyone else is claiming their dad to be the same. One of the hardest things on holiday’s like father’s day is finding a one of kind gift. Something that no one else has to represent the special bond you share with your dad. Customize your next father’s day gift.
- Dads deserve rings too. Nothing to say I love you more that getting your father a ring. Mother’s day is filled with rings for a mom, so why not for a dad too?! Get him a band of his favorite metal or add birthstones. It all depends on what you think would best suit your dad.
- Keep it simple. Remember no matter how much you want to show your love for your father, this is for them. Enough times we get caught up in the moment and buy something resembling our love versus what our father may like. Buy him something to fit his personality. Just because a silver bracelet price matches your love doesn’t mean it’s the right gift for your dad. Nothing says I love you more than I pay attention.
Father’s day is more than money spent on materialistic items. Truth is your father will love anything you get him. He will cherish it as much as your first picture drawing or lost tooth because you gave it to him. Spend more time with him and less shopping for him. Let our expert team at Master Jewelers guide you through the thoughtful process. With over 20 years of experience, they will streamline your experience and leave nothing to question. We understand the time spent with your father is the most important part of his day. Come to visit us today or check us out online.
