New D.Sign Jewelry Pieces
New D.Sign Jewelry Pieces
Hi Everyone~
I have now been bloggind for about 3 years. I have learned quite a lot and still enjoy the blogg idea. Of course, I love to talk, so blogging is the next best thing!
I have some new D.Sign Jewelry Pieces. These are a colaboration of John Johnson's (Owner & CEO of 'FeesBay.com') Faceted Gemstones from Thailand and my Wire Artisan Argentium Sterling Silver Jewellry Settings. We hope you enjoy our work! John & CJ
Just as each rough stone's shape dictates the cut stones design,
so too do the wire work settings are dictated by the final stone cut.
(Photo being tweeked; coming shortly!)
This beautiful Yellow Green Quartz is cut in a Faceted Square. The Beautiful Quartz is 9.45 ct. The Argentium Sterling Silver Wire Setting brings the weight to 30ct measuring 3.25cm height x 2.25cm width (1.5in x1in). This pendant can be worn on a simple sterling silver chain or added to a strand of pearls as shown in the pictures.
This Deep Smokey Quartz is cut in a Faceted Oval Harlequin which brings out the smokey sparkle of this large stone. The Smokey Quartz is 44.20ct. The Argentium Sterling Silver Wire Setting brings the weight to 61.5ct and measures 4.3cm height x 2.5cm width x 1.5cm deep (1 5.8in x 1in x 5/8in). This beautiful pendant can be worn on a medium weight sterling silver chain or added to a strand of pearls as show in the pictures.
This Amazing Blue Fluorite is cut in a Faceted Oval which shows off the internally flawless stone. The Blue Fluorite is 114ct; a huge stone for a Fluorite as they are extreemely soft to cut. The Argentium Sterling Silver Wire Setting brings the weight to 143ct and measures 5.5cm height x 3cm width x 2.3cm deep (2 1/8in x 1 1/8in x 7/8in).
The Deep Blue Sapphire is cut in a Faceted Oval Harlequn which catches light on the facets. The Blue Sapphire is 39ct. The Argentium Sterling Silver wire setting brings the weight to 58ct and measures 4.5cm height x 2 cm width (1 3/4in x 3/4in).
I have chosen to add two extra photos of this Amazing Blue Fluorite as they will help to show the size and depth of this gemstone.
We hope you enjoy our work. If you have any questions or are intersted in purchasing any of these pieces, please email CJ at GemstonesbyD.Sign@gmail.com. and we will get back to you directly.
I'd like to personally thank John for alowing me to work my metals on his gorgeous faceted gemstones. Thank You John!

Zircons & Aquamarine
We have been working on getting some nice Zircon in Champaine, Golden Brown and Brown. They have good color and are of good quality. More on this as we progress.
Matt has cut two Brazilian Beauties this spring. These are a 9.8ct Aquamarine cut in a Rectangular Checker Board Top and a 9ct Aquamarine cut in a Rectangular Checker Board Top with a small diamond shaped table. The color of the Aquamarine is a more "Sea Green-Blue" color. We feel the color leans more toward the very light Emerald color. These are both up for sale. Ck the Showroom. http://customgemcutter.com/
We have also been working with an African company on their Aquamarines. The Aquamarine that is now coming from Nigeria is clean and a deeper "Sea Blue-Green" color. This is a great color coming out of Nigeria. New shipment coming soon!!
