Our Custom Jewelry Collections...
.......are an eclectic mix of nature’s distinctively treasured beauty; boldly artisan crafted into creatively contemporary art-to-wear jewelry. Handcrafting each piece one at a time, we specialize in working with natural stone, million year old fossils, raw materials, and wire sculpture.
We use all natural gemstones such as Turquoise, Coral, Opal, Pearl, Jasper, Agate, and Onyx just to name a few. Incorporated into the pieces are an array of beads such as Swarovski crystals, Czech glass, fused dichroic glass pendants, and metal beads such as copper, silver, gold or pewter.
Wire used is sterling silver or Artistic colored and non-tarnished wire. Artistic wire is resistant to scratching, peeling and marring due to the special enameling process. After the enamel is applied, the wire is clear coated to prevent tarnishing.
Our Collections.......
Southwest Flair; classic and modern styles in turquoise, coral, Magnesite, and onyx
Mystic Artisan; high-end elegance in agate, jasper, pearl, dichroic glass, Swarovski crystal, and more
Wiry Legend; funky wire techniques in links, swirls, wraps, cages and use of other metals
Rock Yard; old earth comes to life using fossils, minerals and raw rocks
About the Stones, Crystals, & Beads:
Timeless Designs strives to obtain the highest quality stones, crystals, beads, findings, and wire available. Color may vary slightly due to the color calibration of each individual monitor.
Suggestions for Cleaning & Caring of your natural gemstone jewelry
Use 2 cleaning bowls. One that has warm water plus the cleaning liquid and one that has only warm water to rinse.
• Note: If you are using sinks, place a soft washcloth over the drains, this will help to keep stones from going down the drains and also help to prevent possible chipping.
• Use lukewarm water, never use hot water.
• Use a mild dishwashing liquid or mild jewelry cleaning solution. One that is safe for your specific jewelry gemstones and metals.
• Several soft, clean, dry cloths (1-for cleaning and 1-drying)
• Small, unused soft bristled toothbrush
The process is simple, fill your sink with warm water, add a little drop of mild dishwashing liquid and swish around to make bubbles. Carefully, place a few pieces at a time in the sink allowing them to soak a few minutes (don’t overload the sink as this may cause jewelry to hit against each other causing chips, cracks and/or damage). Then take each piece out and carefully clean with the soft bristled toothbrush.
Caution, you only need to use a toothbrush if you have a piece of jewelry that has tiny cracks, holes, and small places where dust and dirt can get in; otherwise, there is really no need to use a toothbrush. Rinse in a separate sink that only contains warm water. Place the jewelry on a soft cloth and carefully dry your jewelry pieces.
As a side note, allow an hour or so for your jewelry to 'air dry' to make sure that all water is gone before placing back into their jewelry box or containers.
