Gad leinson from GL-Koru Oy says:

At GL-Koru we have a wide range of ready made products from engagement rings to cufflinks, from gold chains to titanium jewellery. We offer unique, extremely high quality products designed and manufactured in our own workshop.

We aim to design our jewellery so that all the pieces compliment each other, forming unique sets. This gives you an opportunity to increase your collection piece by piece and become the proud owner of a beautifully elegant ensemble.

We make jewellery using mainly gold and titanium, but also silver. Our products are made of the highest quality precious metals. We mix our own yellow gold by using fine gold, fine silver and copper. For yellow gold jewellery we normally use 14 carat gold, but we also use, on request, 18 carat or even 23 carat gold. Jewellery made with white gold is always made with 18 carat palladium white gold, which is the safest choice in preventing possible allergies.

Chao & Eero come with new collection, RingRing.

Designers created the RingRing collection with a hint of the urban art form of graffiti, which they have been photographing many years in Finland and abroad during their trips.

These are serious designs with fun and playful attitude, so they are pretty much in line with all the jewelry they have been creating through out the years.

Made with the sense of humor each piece is definitely a good conversation opener.

As always, all the pieces are handmade and finished in Lahti, in their brand new studio, where Chao & Eero moved in the beginning of this year.

The Cost Of Designer Inspired Silver Jewelry

Whenever you are shopping for anything the most important thing is your budget. You must decide how much you can afford to spend before you look at jewelry as this will limit your selection.

The internet has made shopping for jewelry much easier, there are now pieces of jewelry which are available in almost every price range.

No matter what you are interested in, designer jewelry is very popular. However jewelry is actually a victim of its own success because when this becomes so popular there is more temptation for people to copy and rip off the jewelry. The more popular the design becomes, the more knock offs are available. This can happen for pretty much any product, including jewelry. The knock offs are usually made quite cheaply and can be of an inferior quality.

What you need to think about when choosing fashion jewelry.

The easiest way to buy a good piece of designer fashion jewelry is to visit shops that have a good reputation. If you are shopping for certain brands of jewelry then you should start by checking out the specific shops. By going to large department stores you are ensuring that you will get a better level of service. If you are looking for gold engagement rings, then don’t go to a cheap fashion jewelry store.

Shopping in specialist stores means that the sales assistants actually know what they are talking about. If the shop is good then it will have a good reputation, in the business world reputation means everything. You must carefully inspect each piece of designer jewelry to make sure that it has the correct hallmark. If it doesn’t have a hallmark then it’s probably fake.

If you prefer leather jewelry or more unique natural forms of jewelry then you should check out local jewelry shops and even amateur designers. You should also pay careful attention to the reputation of the people that do these handicrafts.

If you buy from a cheap store then you cannot identify whether or not it is made to a high quality or a poor quality. If you buy these cheap pieces of jewelry you might quickly regret it when it breaks due to inferior quality. You should spend time to work out what each piece of jewelry is made out of.

If you prefer to shop online rather than going out then you should bear the reputation of the particular online shop in mind. If you are planning to buy from eBay then you must be more careful. Make sure you only buy from trusted eBay sellers that have a good reputation. If you buy inferior jewelry from eBay or the internet you will have a very hard time returning it for a refund. You must still be cautious when buying from eBay and pay special attention to the description and photos. Receiving a picture of what you brought is not fun!

Art deco was a very innovative period in design history, many different materials were used to create a unique look which reflected the new times that we were all in. Art Deco is from the 20′s and 30′s, these are the times when you would of seen jazz, the flapper and the start of the machine age.

Different Materials Used

These were times of great excitement, you could wear beautiful pieces of jewelry that were created from a number of different materials. These materials were not used to make jewelry before this time. Popular jewelry materials during this time included: – Plastic – Chrome – Steel – Precious metals – Stones – Semi precious gems

Precious metals and gems were commonly mixed with the newer materials to create unique looking art deco themed jewelry

The art deco period inspired costume jewelry. This uses non-precious materials such as base metal and gems. Many important jewelry designers actually stared in this period to, including Elsa Shiaparella, Rene Lalique, Paul Emile Brant and most importantly Coco Chanel. Just because the materials used in art deco jewelry were cheaper it certainly didn’t mean the actual cost of such a piece would be any cheaper. The same is true today, art deco jewelry can e quite expensive.

Exotic And Futuristic Influences

Many jewelry designers have been influenced by different cultures all around the world. In particular ancient Egypt, eastern, and African cultures have influenced modern jewelry designs.

Other popular designs for art deco jewelry were floral designs, machines and anything to do with the future. You can normally identify art deco pieces of jewelry by simply looking at the geometric design. Some art deco jewelry is extremely beautiful, while others can look ridiculous. The plastic badges with faces and moving eyes were popular, however they look very silly nowadays!

The home of Art Deco is Paris, its considered an art and started there. The name actually comes from an event held there in 1925 which was the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Moderns. This set new trends for the design of jewelry.

The art deco designers had the freedom to experiment with different designs, and different materials to produce jewelry designs. These designs were so popular that they continue to influence the designs today.
