About my Custom work jewelry

My website features about 550 different pieces of sterling silver jewelry all which you can get with your choice of gemstone from my wide selection. If still you do not find what you are looking for you might be interrested into getting a special piece of jewelry made for yourself.

Anything is possible but sometimes people want an exact reproduction of a piece which is sometimes not possible. Also I do not do marcasite jewelry, those are tiny & usually set by machines. I do not do any faceted gemstones either only cabochons which is much easyer for me to work with by hand. And yes I only do sterling silver.

I can make rings in any size so if you are having a hard time finding a ring that fits you well visit the website as I usually give the option size 4 up to size 14. But if you are another size just contact me & Ill make it.

If you want something made custom, simply send me a email & give me as much details as possible. If you have a picture that's great but as I said it might not be exactly like your picture so that would be just a referrence. Give me the size, the type of gemstones if any & Ill get back to you with the quote. My prices will be set by the amount of time required to make the piece & the material. Usually is more expensive than what is already listed in my website but I believe my prices are quite fair.

Cameo Jewelry

I started making cameo jewelry about 3 years ago. At first I only had one type of cameo which was a ladies profile (E1). Then I got it in several colors (E2, E3, E4 & E5). I started shopping around & added a lot of styles to my line. I now offer a wide variety. Most are cast cameos but some are carved from stone such as blue tiger-eye, pink tiger-eye, hematite, lapis lazuli, carnelian, coral & of course Genuine sea shell handcarved cameos.

The majority of my cameos are oval 18X13mm but I do carry a large cat cameo:

it is a square much larger.

In the handcarved sea shell cameos I offer two sizes the regular 18X13mm & a smaller version which is 12X10mm
.
My cameo line includes: rings for women, widebands for womens, rings for men, cuff bracelets, earrings, pendants & pins. All cameos bellow are available in rings and most are available in other pieces of jewelry. All can be found here



H1, H2, C1, the angel, the blue roses & the mother cameos are carved from Tiger-eye.
Soldiers heads are carved from lapis lazuli, hematite or carnelian.
The rest is cast cameos high-quality.

The following are the genuine sea shell handcarved cameos and since they are all unique I give my customers the choice of which cameo they actually want:

smaller version

large regular size 18X13mm

Here are some finished pieces which you can get from my website:

Symbol of the Gemstone:
Opal: A powerful amulet for persons born under the astrological sign of Libra, the opal increases clairvoyant powers, balances the psyche, sharpens the memory, attract good fortune, and gives healing power to the wearer. Opal is ruled by the Moon, and is sacred to all lunar deities. Black opal is considered to be one of the luckiest gemstones in the world for all twelve signs of the zodiac. Visualization, imagination and thoughts, very fragile, fades/cracks in sun, heat, or salt. Moisten frequently with water or oil. Clarifies by amplifying and mirroring feelings buried, emotions, desires, crown and brow chakras.

I have created a line including pendants, necklaces, tie tack pins, hairclips, navel belly rings, bracelets, rings, earrings & more.

My Fleur-de-Lis line has been very popular in the last year so much so that I have been the best seller silversmith artist for Fleur-de-Lis jewelry in 2006! About 75% of my customers are located in Louisiana & it's been a pleasure dealing with such nice people. I had lots of nice comments from them & I always appreciate the feedback as it helps me in my new designs.
Here are my Fleur-de-Lis wideband rings:



all those can be found here

Widebands are very hot right now, but they aren't meant for everyone. Long slim fingers suit them best. Actually most rings will suit you best if you have that type of fingers but not rings that are too narrow, stick with about a quarter inch and more width in the front.

How to make Beaded Necklaces

About a year ago I started to get many requests for beaded jewelry, until then the only gemstones I have been using were cabochons (flat backs set with bezel). My father (my teacher) has never done much beaded jewelry so I had to learn on my own. I read lots of books in order to understand everything I needed before getting started. I did not want to get into this before having the proper knowledge. The finishing touch is what makes it really professional. I work with genuine gemstone beads (such as Aventurine, Amazonite, Black Onyx, Red Garnet, Purple Amethyst, Turquoise...) but also with genuine red coral & freshwater pearls. All metal parts I use are sterling silver 925 only & I use the best type of wire there is Beadalion.

My most popular beaded jewelry is:
Fleur de Lis necklaces:

all my necklaces come with the choice of gemstones.
I also carry matching beaded earrings.

Most recently I have added more beaded jewelry such as:

-the handcuff necklace


-the celtic cross necklace

and much more such as dragonfly, dove peace bird, celtic claddagh, family tree, turtle...

all those are very popular for Themed Weddings, many customers have told me the are having a theme for their wedding such as Celtic or Beach & they want a necklace & earrings set for all the bridemaids. I give them the opportunity to get all the same necklace with each their choice of gemstones. And since I also make matching cufflinks & tie tack pins they are all set for the men also. If you know anyone who is looking for such themed jewelry they can contact me through my website sterlingsilverart.com anytime. If you are looking for something specific contact me I can make almost anything!

Caduceus Medical Jewelry Custom Handmade

Good day! I decided to write about my caduceus jewelry line today. My sister-in-law Annick is a nurse here in Quebec which got me started into making that symbol for her & her coworkers.

I now make 21 different pieces from pendants, earrings, bracelets & much more which can all be customized depending on the person's medical discipline such as "RN" for registered nurses or "PT" (physical therapist), "PTA" (physical therapist assistant), "V" (vetenarian), "D" (dental), and much more actually anything up to 3 letters should fit on most pieces. I also make a lot just plain caduceus symbol (snakes around a pole with wings on top).

Women used to order most of it but since I added a men's band ring, money clips, cufflinks & tie tack pins men have started to order a lot more.
