#DailyJewel - Spotlight on the Phoenix Collection by Kavant and SharArt #EarTux

THEME OF THE PHOENIX COLLECTION

The Phoenix Collection is inspired by the graceful movement, form and beauty of the mythological animal.

The wing-shaped earrings represent the wind / freedom to move while the clawed (single and triple) shaped earrings represent the earth / being grounded and mindful.  

Extensions of the original collection were made as suggested by Janet with Fragments NY

• Each piece is handcrafted in 18K gold, precious and semi-precious gemstones, white, champagne, grey and black diamonds. 

• All pieces are made in-house by their own team of goldsmiths, stone setter, gem cutters and apprentice.

• There is an element of versatility in most pieces. Many of which allows one to convert the design, interchange and stack - enabling a more inimitable and personalized feel.

• This collection takes a brand new approach to the ear jacket or rather some called it the Ear Tux (short form for tuxedo). The design sought to capture both mystery and simplicity in equal depths.
• The design concept allows one to play with its web of possibilities such as converting it from a stud version to a dangling earring. (As illustrated below)

Kelly Allen working on one of our latest from Gordon Aatlo Designs

Pink Sapphires in the greatest color and matched in size.
We framed the sapphires in 14k gold and had the diamonds cut,
creating a frame around these beauties.

Handcrafted by the master jewelers at Gordon Aatlo Designs, this 38 carat gem is framed in gold.
The Platinum shoulders are matte finished. A great design for any gem in any size

Reticulated 18k Amethyst & Diamond PendantAmethyst is 2.05 carats with a bezel set Diamond .25 carats.

Recently completed, this one of a kind carving by master gemstone artist Steve Walters
 made the design easy. We framed the carving in 18k gold and added a Tsavorite Garnet at the top.
More one of a kind carvings from Steve are on the way to the studio in the next week.
Affordably priced, this is a good way to start a one of kind collection from a gemstone master.

It is flawless, colorless and a great alternative to diamond.

This bracelet was created 5 years ago with an Arthur Lee Anderson Amethyst as the inspiration for the design.

just waiting to be discovered!  As we opened the large envelope, we found a second Amethyst!
Arthur named this design SCC - Super Cool Cut!
