It is no secret that many of us have joined the new movement of trying to lead a more positive and healthier life. Whether you have gone keto or just learning how to take 15 minutes a day for yourself, those small changes will soon help you evolve into a new you. As you transform, there is no shame in wanting a new look to represent the new you and these positive changes. In fact, it is not only encouraged but suggested.  

Jewelry plays a big role in your style choice and symbolizes many memories you cherish. It is sometimes hard to part ways with old jewelry because of its sentimental value. But what if we told you there was a way to reinvent your jewelry just like you are becoming the new you? Master Jewelers Indiana has over 20 years of experience reinventing and custom designing old jewelry into something new.  Before we change anything, we want to understand your expectations to bring your design to life. Master Jewelers expert artisans will guide you through our custom jewelry design process.

Melt Away the Old Design

Jewelry is crafted from strong gemstones and precious metals. The materials used are welded and tightly fitted into place. It takes real skill and craftsmanship to manipulate precious metals and gemstones.

Precious Metals

We use precious metals because they are tough and can withstand daily wear and tear. However, add high heat and the metal becomes like putty.  We can metal down the precious metal and reuse it to craft the foundation for the new design. While it won’t be the same piece, it has the same metal.

Gemstone

Gemstones can be reshaped, resized and re-set. Personalized jewelry is all about the right gemstone for you. A common redesign is using a necklace pendant to make vibrant earrings. Or designing an old engagement ring into stunning diamond studs. The options are limitless when it comes to recreating gemstones. Sometimes you get lucky and end up with an additional piece if the gemstone is big enough.

Recreating your old jewelry is a symbolic moment for the obstacles you have overcome to get you to this point. Making the new piece now will not only represent the past but also your future.

Diamonds are a popular choice for many reasons. They are brilliantly beautiful and make an undeniable statement with any attire. If you struggle to be unique with your style don’t worry diamonds can still add an unexpected flair.

Here are Five Fun Facts why diamonds are the all-time respected gemstone.

1. Diamonds are forever- This statement couldn’t be truer. Diamonds are billions of years old dating back to Roman times. In fact, it was the Romans who believed diamonds came to earth from the tips of Cupid’s arrows. Probably a big reason we associate diamonds with love and romance.
2. Brilliant things come from pressure- Diamonds take form underneath the ground. Around 100 feet below, these beautiful gemstones appear on earth through deep volcanic eruptions. They derive by pressure and heat to take their place here on earth’s surface. It is no wonder Diamonds are the most highly respected and valuable gemstone.
3. Diamond Strong– Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known. Known for its durability, the only thing to cause a diamond to scratch is another diamond. “Adamas” is Greek for invincible and is where the word diamond comes from. Believed to be so indestructible, diamonds were said to cure illness and protect those who wore them.
4. Diamonds come from all over the world. Over time, the main sources of diamonds have changed hands because of rapid sales versus the quantity of diamonds. History dates back to 1400 when the Diamond Indian trade boomed that led to Brazil holding the number one spot. Until later in the 1800s, South Africa discovered a big diamond reserve. In the present time, Diamonds aren’t so secluded and mined all over the world. At Master Jewelers, we strive to purchase ONLY a conflict-free diamonds and source precious metals from environmental-conscious foundries.
5. The Bigger the Better- While we see celebrities post their engagement rings or diamond encrusted chains none of that could compare to Cullinan diamond. Cullinan is the largest diamond found with a carat size of 3,106K. Diamond clarity and carats factor heavily into the value of the diamond. Using an experienced jeweler is important when purchasing any gemstone but more so when shopping for loose diamonds.

The first month of the new year, January. The celebration of new beginnings and self-improvement.  January sets the tone for happiness, health and wealth we hope to see continue throughout the year. Many put their best foot forward hoping to start the year off right. The Garnet gemstone couldn’t be any more suitable for any other month. The gemstone comes in various colors. However, the Red Garnet is most popular and represents the birthdays in January.

.

A red Garnet has the vivid color of a pomegranate seed. Its usage dates back to BC times and can be found all over the world. The stone comes from a mineral that produces very durable gemstones. Used by Royals and the Rich, Garnet gemstones have remained popular throughout the years.

Legends say Garnet gemstones bring peace, prosperity, and good health. It also symbolizes valued and deep bonded friendship. If you are looking for the perfect gift for a January birthday, you are in luck. Designed custom jewelry with Garnets is a great way to create a one of kind gift.

Know your design

Garnets are used in a variety of settings. Earrings-studs or chandeliers are great for showcasing the Garnets true beauty. Pendant necklaces make a bold statement to any attire.

Metals Matter

Typically White Gold and Yellow Gold are ideal for Garnet pieces. The yellow hues and silver tones bring out the vibrant red color of the gemstone. Silver is also an option, but be careful when pairing with metals like Rose Gold. The pink hues may clash with the red of the gemstone, this is where picking the right gemstone is important.

Pick your Shade of Red.

Just like Garnets come in different colors, they are also found in various shades of red. Don’t assume that all Garnets are the same color of red. This is important to your design and the style you are trying to create. The shade of red will complement your design or destroy it. Make sure you do your research and work with a jeweler you can trust.
