Bijoux Original Jewelry |
|
Michelangelo believed that within every block of uncut marble a beautiful statue was waiting to be released. He felt that it was the sculptor's duty to free the "statue" from its stony confines. |
|
At Bijoux Extraordinaire, we believe that every beautiful gemstone is the beginning of an extraordinary jewel. It is our duty, as jewelry designers, to help you discover the beautiful jewel hidden within a gemstone. In this spirit Judith Anderson has created a collection of exciting jewels - the Bijoux Originals - to celebrate the natural beauty of fine and exotic gemstones. |
|
The gemstones featured in the Bijoux Original collection are chosen for their quality and beauty. Each gemstone reflects the beauty of nature and the artistry of a master gem cutter. Whether we are creating a ring with an ideally proportioned diamond or a pendant with an asymmetrical slice of rainbow hematite, we only work with gemstones of the finest color, cut and quality.
Of course, extraordinary gemstones should be securely set in beautiful metals. At Bijoux Extraordinaire our jewels are created with only the finest precious metals - high-karat gold and platinum. |
|
| We work with gold and platinum smiths whose artistry and craftsmanship equal the beauty of the gemstones and the imagination of our designs. When you examine a Bijoux Original you immediately recognize the quality of the workmanship and a master artisan's uncompromising attention to detail. |
|
In short, the jewels in the Bijoux Original collection are a marriage of beautiful gemstones, extraordinary designs and uncompromising craftsmanship. Their beauty, quality and value speak for themselves. |
