Marya Dabrowski’s Gorgeous Gemstone Jewelry

Marya Dabrowski is an award winning jewelry designer; you could say it is in her blood, since she is descended from a very long line of sculptors, wood carvers, and other artists. Her particular art is self taught, in that she was only twelve years old when she began silvers smithing. When she began studying at the famed Academy of Jewelry Arts, located in New York, she focused on the granulation of gold, cutting gemstones by hand, and learned cloisonné enameling as well.

Thus you can imagine the care, dedication, skill, and talent which went into creating this piece, the 18K Gold Rose Quartz and Pink Sapphire Cocktail Ring.

Inherently, preciously feminine, this cocktail ring is also extremely cutting edge, featuring a fourteen millimeter cabochon rose quartz which is surrounded by gorgeous pink sapphires. It retails for about $3,250.

What is the very first thing that you think of when you think of spring? It is going to be all of those beautiful flowers right? Right! That is what I think of too and that is one of the main reasons why I decided to do a little blog about flower jewelry! Honestly, there is nothing more beautiful than a piece of jewelry that incorporates flowers into it and it is especially beautiful when it comes to spring time!

That is one of the main reasons why this beautiful bracelet is so in fashion! While there may not be a specific designer for this, but there are definitely similar flower bracelets just like this one. Do you remember when you were a kid and you would get something like this from your mother? Oh yes, we all had those moments. So take your daughter shopping and pick up one of these beautiful bracelets, I promise that she will love it just as much as you did when you were a child!

Spring Into Fashion: With Sapphires!

When ladies and gentlemen, that beautiful and brilliant stone is a sapphire and it is one of the hottest things this spring! Personally, I love this ring! I am not a fan of pink … or whatever color that is supposed to be, but honestly, I think that this ring is definitely classy, certainly looks amazing and is an all around hit in my book!

Now, you probably are wondering just how this gem is a sapphire and yet it is clearly not blue. Well, you should know that sapphires are sort of like diamonds where they do not have to be strictly one color. They come in all sorts of different colors, maybe not super lemon or salmon rose, but they do come in pink, purple, green and even plain old yellow, but blue is definitely one of the most popular colors.

While this ring doesn’t look real, it certainly is but I can assure you that there are many different jewelry stores that carry a ring similar to this one for quite a lower price. Scout it out ladies because silver with sapphire this spring is going to be hot!
