I captured a quick snap shot from the site of H. Stern Jewelry.

They have a very cool sort of web slide show where they show the steps to creating a piece of fine jewelry, from the design phase through to polishing the finished piece of jewelry.

I love watching jewelers work. Of course, it's fun to do it myself too, but when you get to watch someone who is very skilled in their craft, it's just as much fun to watch sometimes.

I've selected a few random pieces from the site for you to enjoy.


From the gold bead collection - a gold beaded bracelet


How cool is this "code" ring of 18kt gold and diamonds - reminds me of The Matrix.


Another bracelet, this one made of leather, gold, and diamonds, from the Stars collection
