*** edit sold! DM for waitlist **** Happy Saturday bijoux boxers! The fires are crazy here in so cal, so I don’t know if I’m going to make it to the bench today- to those of you waiting for your rings being sized I’m so sorry! Trying to figure out alternate routes to downtown sigh. In the meantime...you guys have ALL noticed by now this guy appearing here and there and in my stories, but I have refused to do a spec post. Why? Because I knew when I did it would be gone and I am SO SAD!!!! But of course I can’t hoard any long because bloody @parksfinegroupinc took my money so I must list I’m not going to lie, I am heartbroken. It is SO HARD to find 5 stone bands like this at an affordable price point!!! 1.25 CTW ( each stone is .25 ct), E/F color, and VS2/SI1, 14k white gold. Just refurbished by my bench, polished up and stones tightened. Stunning cut means these stones are always blinding people. The perfect size to wear all the time, stack, put with an engagement ring...sighhhhhhh. Size 4.5 (told you I didn’t want to sell it ) and sizeable up to a 6, anything more then that would require a bit of reworking and adding some gold but it’s possible, please send me a DM if you have a size larger then 6 and we can talk through options. Sizeable down to 3.5 for you teeny finger ladies ☺️ 2150 grabs her, lets see how long this lasts! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #customjewelry #diamondband #5stone #anniversary #engagementring #inspiration #love #stacker #saturday #fire #fireworks #diamondring #showmeyourrings #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #gemhunt #gembreakfast #love #xothebijouxbox

**** edit SOLD *** We are slowly getting back to our regularly scheduled programming :) I mentioned before that I’m not taking on any custom orders until March (other then the few pieces I have already in the queue!) but I WILL still be working on one of a kind pieces for my shop and offering loose stones for sale. Like THIS guy, an absolutely stunning make on a modern cut marquise. This guy has the star shaped facets I love on modern Rosie’s and fab height so you never get that glassy effect. I’m thinking of setting it east west in that antique inspired halo that came out SO wonderfully last week ( SWIPE for a reminder) with my famous dolly faux foil to make this center GLOW. GIA Certed .75 carat I color and completely eye clean SI2, the completed ring will be 2995 and look like a millllllion bucks! But I ALSO think it would look insanely beautiful in a solitaire necklace style, again with my faux foil - and that would be just 1995! Want to claim dibs now or potentially purchase this stone loose? DM for more info and SWIPE through for more videos and a shot of the GIA report . . . . . . . . . . . #rosecut #marquise #marquisediamond #oneofakind #giacertified #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #gemhunt #celebstyle #love #heirloom #forsale #friyay #nye #diamond #diamondring #diamondnecklace #xothebijouxbox

*** edit SOLD , Message for waitlist **** OH HELLO AGAIN!!! I had quite a waitlist on this guy but I got so many hundreds of messages during my giveaway for the life of me I can’t find them now Soooo guess who is getting a spec post as it’s available again?!! THIS guy!! Let’s start with the center stone- a genuine antique oval rose cut (my fav) weighing over 1.4 carats and 9.5MM long the surround is made up of all antique rose/mine cut hybrids, total carat weight is over 2 carats. Setting is a heavy duty 14k rose and white gold with my custom Dolly “faux foil” backing. Many of you new followers are asking- what is faux foil?!? It’s a technique of creating a high polish backer plate that’s rhodiumed to mimic the foil used in Georgian jewelry, but with open sides and no delicate materials so you can easily clean this guy. I love rose cuts that are backed like this, it really gives them life like no other. And you guys KNOW that antique rose cuts just have a certain je ne sais quoi; they shimmer and sparkle like no modern Rosie . And look at how WHITE and CLEAN this guy is!! Size 6 and sizeable, 17mm long with the halo means you get some amazing finger coverage !! DM for dibs or more details, I can still ship this guy to get to you by Christmas!! . . . . . . . . . . #rosecut #rosecutdiamond #diamondring #showmeyourrings #ringsofig #gemhunt #gembreakfast #customjewelry #antique #georgian #celebstyle #engagementring #giftidea #transformationtuesday #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #forsale #xothebijouxbox

Have you ever thought of the story behind each Stone, Mineral or Gem used to create an object like this one?  Even though it is a minimalistic design, it carries an interesting story which is far from being modest. The quartz comes from Pampa Blanca Mine in Huancavelica, a source that is probably one of the most prolific in the World for producing Japanese Law Twins. It also produces some incredible quartz clusters and single crystals points which are covered by a very thick brown/pink skin. August 2018, Saturday afternoon, almost ready to call it a day in our studio and we get a phone call from a local miner inviting us to come to the “Maclas” Quartz mine early next day. What a better way to spend a Sunday than to go for a short gem hunting trip! First 2.5 hours driving parallel to the coast in the “Panamericana” Highway and 2.5 hours into the Andes Mountains until we reached a tiny hamlet, formed by approximately 8 small one floor adobe houses. We were introduced to Alberto, the mine owner, who dedicates most of his time to farming and cattle raising (not mining) No time to waste let’s see some rocks! You thought it will be so easy? Not a chance to see anything on spot, you have to build a relation, gain their trust in order to do business. One hour later after having a few drinks we finally proved we were worthy of their trust. They had crystals hidden even under the bed! (no joke). It was a very tough negotiation, bargaining for hours until we got into an agreement for a couple large cluster and few hundred kilos of loose crystals. Business was sealed with a strong handshake and our truck was immediately loaded. Back in our studio we personally hand selected the crystals by size and shape and it was in this sorting process that I visualize the design, a natural quartz crystal point chess set, one side will remain 100% natural, keeping its thick brown/pink skin and to contrast the opposite side will be clean polished respecting the quartz natural shape. The checker board cut in granite with a few accents in bronze. It is very special object since it’s the first design and mineral purchase made for our new project @mineralmagallery Enjoy!

*** edit sold!!!! *** Time for specs on this absolutely magical stone! To begin with- GIA certed .79 E color VS2, center stone measures just a hair shy of 8 x 5. So yes, top quality all the way. But what makes it magical? This guy has very strong blue flouresence which I swear to the bling gods, makes it look PINK. Not “oh that’s a weird rosey hue”- PINK. STRAIGHT UP PINK!!! Ok maybe purplish pink- but not white!!!! You have got to SWIPE to see this guy next to other stones . Stacked against a G color rose cut (not for sale, a clients ring but I can make one for you lol) that slightly warmer and bigger east west marquise, and an F color emerald cut. Tell me this doesn’t look pink to you! Even indoors with absolutely NO light it has a rosey hue (last picture shows this, sorry it’s grainy but that’s what you get in low light ha). Didn’t I tell you? Magic baby! 2950 takes this one of a kind ring home, in a custom made 14k ultra pink rose gold setting size 6 and sizeable up and down several sizes as the shank is plain. DM for dibs and more details! . . . . . . . . #sundayfunday #pink #gia #topquality #gia #certified #showmeyourrings #gemhuntrings #gemhunt #forever #heirloom #love #engagementring #righthandring #stacker #forsale #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #xothebijouxbox
