Carved gemstones are making a comeback as the perfect example of modern technology borrowing ancient techniques. Long ago, gemstones were designed into many different shapes, designs and symbols rather than smooth and shiny gemstones.Obsidian jewelry The art of carving gemstones has been a tradition for many years and has been practiced by many artisans all over the world. Ancient civilizations began carving gemstones--the art form known as glyptography--thousands of years ago, creating ornate pieces fit for members of past Roman nobility. This art form was practiced by various civilizations including Persians, Assyrians and Egyptians. These cultures carefully crafted ornate designs into gems carved from a single piece of rough.During the 19th century, newer ways of cutting gemstones developed, and by the 20th century, carving became somewhat of a lost art known only to very few. Now the tradition of carving is being restored, with a modern twist as skilled artisans revive this ancient tradition. It is common to see carvings featuring a floral design that is reflective of traditional Indian architecture. One of the greatest influences in the designs is the Taj Mahal, an architectural oasis consisting of flowering vines carved from stone, and the designs in the carved gemstones mimic that of the renown architecture. Because nature plays such an important role in this culture, it is portrayed through the designs in architecture and gemstones. These gemstone carvings are rich in culture, tradition and beauty.Obsidian jewelry JTV respects the tradition of fine gemstone carving and does its best to offer a wide variety of beautifully carved products in gemstones, jewelry and collectibles.

Retro jewelry. has resurrected some of its iconic 1970s creations for the new Out of Retirement collection.“These pieces feel just as contemporary today as they were when they were first made,” says Tiffany’s design director, Francesca Amfitheatrof, who selected from the archives 17 jewelry and gift designs for the collection, including the cuffs shown here. Also on offer: a playful sterling-silver pillbox shaped like a miniature Chinese-takeout container.

The Danish design house Georg Jensen Retro jewelry has partnered with the British gemstone supplier Gemfields to create a limited series of emerald and ruby jewelry. The centerpiece of the collection is this one-of-a-kind gold Runa necklace, which features three emeralds that collectively weigh 35 carats. The necklace was inspired by a similar piece that Vivianna Torun, the brand’s designer from 1967 until her death in 2004, created in the late 1960s for Pablo Picasso. That necklace featured a long pendulum set with pebbles. “These emerald stones reminded me of the pebbles in Torun’s designs,” says Meeling Wong, Georg Jensen’s managing director of jewelry. “The subtlety of the cabochon stones is in keeping with the organic shapes and natural elements in Torun’s work.”

Designer Eugenie Niarchos uses gold and gemstones of various colors to mimic reptile scales in her Venyx Chameleon ring Retro jewelry. Niarchos, who is 29 and based in London, has given the ring a tactile quality by setting the stones so they feel as if they are at different heights. She formed the design’s ragged spine with a line of stones set upside down. The ring is priced at $7,520. “I love the beauty and texture of skins, like snake and crocodile, which are used in fashion, and I wanted to bring them into precious jewelry,” says Niarchos, who launched the Venyx World brand two years ago.

The Toronto-based designer Holly Dyment Retro jewelry is turning heads with her gem-encrusted Glam Madame Lip ring in enamel, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies and enamel-and-diamond Lip ring. She is not alone in rendering parts of the face as whimsical wearable art. The designs of the British jeweler Solange Azagury-Partridge include lips as well as eyeballs. Among the pieces in her collection are the lacquer-and-gold Iris ring and the Hot Lips diamond ring.

A visit to the Cy Twombly exhibit at London’s Tate Modern last year inspired the designs in Wilfredo Rosado’s new Bakkheia collection of jewelry Retro jewelry. “I loved his frenzied, maniacal way of scribbling on the canvas,” says Rosado, who is based in New York. The jewelry, which is made in Italy, is constructed with layers of circular 18-karat gold interspersed with rare colored Scarselli diamonds. “I wanted to showcase colored diamonds in an artistic way,” says Rosado, noting that such stones are typically set in a classical design. The ring shown here features white, pink, and yellow diamonds, and is priced at $184,000. The earrings, which cost $254,000, are set with white, blue, and green diamonds.

For centuries jewelry has brought a sense of empowerment to its wearers, or even served as a talisman, and the creations of Jennifer Fisher Retro jewelry capture the spirit of that history. The New York–based jewelry designer emblazons her gold pieces with diamond-studded words, names, declarations, and symbols. “I want to make the jewelry that women wear every day, and it makes them feel good,” says Fisher, whose flagship store is on Fifth Avenue. Her gold-and-diamond jewelry ranges in price from $400 to several thousand dollars, and custom orders are designed and made in New York and delivered in 6 to 8 weeks.

Xiewenxiao (talk) 08:39, 30 June 2017 (UTC)== Where the charm of men come from ==

In the late 1950s, an expert at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)—the world’s leading nonprofit institute devoted to gemological research and education—graded an unusual green diamond. After conducting a thorough examination of the stone, he carefully placed it in the laboratory’s safe and left for the day.men bracelets When his colleague arrived at the laboratory the following morning to make his own assessment of the treasure, he discovered that the green diamond was gone and that someone had deposited a yellow specimen in its place.

A frenzied search ensued as the technician scoured the lab in search of the missing gem. Some time later, his panicked hunt came to a startling end when, upon returning, he found the green diamond precisely where he had left the yellow one. That was when it occurred to him that the two stones might be one and the same. Scrupulous inspection of the gem in varying levels of light revealed that his hunch was correct: He had in his possession an entirely new category of diamond.

Since that day, the mysterious chameleon diamond has astounded and bewitched even the world’s most eminent gemologists with its shifts in color, from green in bright light to yellow in darkness or at high temperatures.men bracelets Named for the lizard that changes its hue to camouflage itself, the chameleon diamond is extremely rare, and typically it is found in small sizes of two carats or less, according to Tom Moses, senior vice president of laboratory and research at the GIA. These facts about the astonishing stones make even more incredible Chopard’s recent unveiling of a nearly flawless, 31.31-carat, strawberry-size chameleon diamond—the largest known specimen of its kind. "I was flabbergasted when I laid eyes on the stone," says Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, copresident and design director of Chopard, which has not divulged the circumstances surrounding the diamond’s acquisition.

Exactly how the diamond changes color is equally perplexing: Although experts have linked the phenomenon to the stone’s high concentrations of hydrogen, nitrogen, and nickel, the process has not yet been fully explained.men bracelets While the stone’s chemistry remains unclear, the design possibilities inherent in the gem’s changeable color were immediately apparent to Gruosi-Scheufele, who set the $10 million diamond in a simple ring surrounded by tiny yellow diamonds.

Few among the curious will have the opportunity to view this wonder firsthand. It is not showcased in one of Chopard’s international boutiques; Gruosi-Scheufele privately presents the piece to VIP clients who have a deep appreciation of rare stones. "It is for the connoisseur who already owns other important jewels," observes the GIA’s Moses.men bracelets He likens the purchase of a chameleon to buying a peculiar classic car: "A car collector most likely buys his Ferrari or Aston Martin first, but he also wants to acquire a less recognized but striking collectible, such as the Duesenberg, to round out his collection."

The $10 million chameleon is part of Chopard’s burgeoning high-jewelry collection, which over the past few years has come to represent the house’s prowess in acquiring collectible gems and executing complicated designs. Other captivating jewels in the collection include a pair of 19-?carat, intense-pink, pear-shaped diamond drop earrings and a 9.33-carat, deep-blue, oval-cut diamond set in a ring of rose gold and pink-diamond pavé.

However, these mere colored diamonds, though extraordinary, can never match the private pleasure that a chameleon provides its wearer.men bracelets "The mystery of the color change isn’t immediately evident to an observer," says Moses. "The owner carries a secret that she can reveal only if she wants." But once you witness the color change firsthand, he says, "you can’t believe your eyes, and you want to see it again.
