The final product is a pendant that is crafted from 22k gold with gemstone set to represent each of the family members. Boom also added a few small diamonds set into droplets of gold in order to fill out the pendant and create a more unique and uniform design on the final piece of jewelry.
A while back a close friend asked Boom to craft a necklace that would be given to his wife to celebrate the birth of their second daughter. Boom came up with the idea that the family could be represented by birthstones set into stunning solid 22k gold settings. Boom individually selected each of the gemstones that would go into the necklace. She then made a trip to her gold supplier and purchased a large bar of pure 24k gold. Generally Metal Studio does not work with 24k gold because it is too soft for long wearing jewelry. Boom melted the bar down and mixed it with trace hardening metals in order to come up with 22k gold for the final gemstone settings and wire for the necklace.
This was a fun ring requested by a customer recently. The gemstone was brought into Metal Studio by a customer that wanted to have it set in silver. It was a huge gemstone with oddly shaped ends so Boom thought that a large bezel setting was what would be in order. The design features highly textured silver that has been deeply oxidized to give a very industrial looking piece of jewelry.
