Two not so well known precious gems that are used in the making of jewelery is tsavorite and dementoids. The later is a beautiful green garnet that originated from Madagascar. It was first discovered in Russia and the name came from its diamond adamantine luster. The word garnet means dark red similar to the pomegranate seed.

Most if not all of today's jewelery stores have specialized agents that have been working with metals for many years and care about your specific needs. They are there to help you to decide which design you prefer or you can choose from their collection on display. They can advise you on which stones will be the best to compliment the color of your ring or necklace. The most popular technique of today is known as Mokume Gane especially for wedding and engagement rings. This is the layering of different colors of metals that have a wood grain feel to it. The traditional components are normally gold, copper and silver, which would be melted down to a liquid phase and they would then bond together.

On asking for a quote, shipping and insurance will be included. All international orders will be free of South African VAT. Don't forget to include your shipping address.

In the Victorian period, this metal was used for forks of all descriptions as well as spoons. These were always beautifully decorated. Carving knives, soup ladles, lasagna servers, cheese scoops, as well as salt spoons were made out of this durable metal. These later were even made into mirrors, perfume bottles, and even children's christening sets. They were found in early Rome and Egypt and carried on until the mid 20th century where cheaper items were introduced.

When cleaning items made from the sterling version of the metal, always use a clean cloth, these can be obtained from any jewelery store. Avoid all cleaning agents as these are very hard and abrasive and will tend to mark and dull them. For stainless steel one only needs to gently wipe with a dry soft cloth to keep the luster and shine.

In most countries the silver object is stamped with one or more hallmarks, which indicate the purity of the product as well as the manufacturer, date and any other information. These are done with a hammer and punch which are designed to leave sharp edges. This is done before the final polishing process.
