Jewelry is Art – Craft Your Own Treasures

Jewelry and art have always been my greatest passions, and at Craft a Jewel, I’ve found the perfect way to blend these two loves into something truly exceptional. My journey began years ago, hosting jewelry parties for Eddie Le Vian, where I developed a deep appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship behind every piece. At Craft a Jewel, I’m committe

🚨 Buyer Beware: What’s Really in that "Silver" Chain You Bought Online? 🚨

Hey everyone, Sherry here from Craft a Jewel. I wanted to share something a bit alarming that I recently uncovered, because I want to make sure everyone in our community stays safe and doesn't get ripped off.

We’ve all seen those incredible deals on jewelry from sites like AliExpress and Amazon. It looks beautiful in the photos, and the description promises "Sterling Silver" or "Real Gold." But as the saying goes... if the price looks too good to be true, it usually is.

I decided to buy a batch of random "silver" chains online to test them with our shop's professional, non-destructive XRF analyzer. I took some photos of the results so you can see for yourself (check the pictures below πŸ‘‡).

The results were eye-opening, and honestly, a little scary:

The "Silver" Scam: Several of these chains contained almost *zero* precious metals. They are cheaply plated base metals that will tarnish, turn your skin green, and wear down in weeks. People are spending their hard-earned money thinking they're getting real silver or gold, only to be completely scammed.
The Hidden Danger (Heavy Metals): This is the part that worries me most. A lot of these cheap mystery metals manufactured overseas contain high levels of nickel, cadmium, or even lead. These aren't just bad for your walletβ€”they can cause severe allergic skin reactions and, worse, pose real toxic health risks if worn daily.

I’m not posting this to call out specific sellers, but to strongly encourage everyone to test your jewelry. Don't just trust a stamp or an online description.

If you’ve bought jewelry online recentlyβ€”or if you have older pieces, inherited jewelry, or coins you've always been curious aboutβ€”please don't guess. Bring them by the shop and let's test them together. Our XRF test takes seconds, doesn't damage your jewelry at all, and tells you the exact percentage of every single metal inside it.

Let's look out for each other and shop smart!

πŸ₯ˆπŸ’° XRF Testing 1,000g Silver Bars & Gold Bullion β€” Don't Risk Your Life Savings! πŸ’°πŸ₯ˆ

"Here's my new obsession..." 😍

There's something incredibly satisfying about testing a stack of precious metal bars and seeing exactly what's inside.

At Craft a Jewel, we use professional XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) technology to verify the authenticity and purity of gold bars, silver bars, coins, bullion, jewelry, and precious metalsβ€”without scratching, cutting, or damaging them.

⚑ Don't assume your gold and silver are genuine just because they look real.

We've seen items that:
❌ Were gold- or silver-plated instead of solid precious metal
❌ Contained excessive base metals
❌ Had lower purity than advertised
❌ Included heavy metals that reduce value
❌ Were counterfeit bullion or imitation bars

Whether you own gold bars, silver bars, coins, jewelry, scrap precious metals, or family heirlooms, it's worth knowing exactly what you have.

πŸ’Ž Your jewelry may represent cherished memories.
πŸ’° Your gold and silver may represent years of savings and investment.

Make sure you're protecting both.

πŸ“Š Every XRF test includes a detailed analysis report showing the exact composition of your item.

Instead of simply hearing "it's silver" or "it's gold," you'll receive a professional report with the actual percentages of the metals present in the alloy, such as:

βœ” Gold (Au)
βœ” Silver (Ag)
βœ” Platinum (Pt)
βœ” Palladium (Pd)
βœ” Copper (Cu)
βœ” Zinc (Zn)
βœ” Nickel (Ni)
βœ” Tin (Sn)
βœ” Lead (Pb)
βœ” Cadmium (Cd)
βœ” And other trace elements

Our printed report gives you a precise breakdown of what your jewelry, coins, bullion, bars, or precious metal items contain, helping you verify authenticity, determine value, and identify unwanted metals that may affect purity or resale value.

Whether you're an investor, collector, estate executor, jewelry owner, or precious metals enthusiast, having a documented report gives you confidence in what you own.

Don't leave your life savings to guesswork.

Bring in your gold, silver, coins, bullion, jewelry, estate pieces, or inherited collections and let us help you verify their authenticity and value.

✨ A custom gift made even more special. ✨

When Piper saw this genuine leather bracelet with its woven leather band, natural black and blue stone beads, and black stainless steel engraving tag, she knew it would be the perfect piece to make her own.

Using our precision fiber laser, Sherry personalized the bracelet just for Piper, creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake she'll be able to wear every day.

The best part? Her reaction says it all:

πŸ’™ "I love it!"
πŸ’™ "I'm really happy. Thank you so much!"
πŸ’™ "That's beautiful."

There's nothing better than seeing someone light up when they receive a personalized gift made especially for them.

⚑ At Craft a Jewel, we can personalize leather bracelets, stainless steel jewelry, charms, keychains, knives, tumblers, jewelry boxes, and much more with:
βœ” Names
βœ” Initials
βœ” Dates
βœ” Coordinates
βœ” Logos
βœ” Special Messages
βœ” Handwriting

Our fiber laser can permanently engrave metals that many diode and COβ‚‚ lasers struggle to mark, including stainless steel, titanium, gold, silver, brass, and more.

🎁 Looking for a unique gift for Father's Day, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or just because? We'd love to help create something meaningful.

πŸ”—βœ¨ Don't throw away that broken chain β€” we can bring it back to life! βœ¨πŸ”—

A broken chain doesn't always mean the end of your favorite piece of jewelry.

In this video, Sherry demonstrates how we repair a broken chain using our professional jewelry laser welder. First, the chain links are carefully woven back together by hand. Then we use precision laser welding technology to create a strong, clean repair exactly where it's needed. Finally, we reinforce the repair with precious metal wire, followed by polishing and finishing until the chain looks beautiful again.

⚑ Why use laser welding?
βœ” Precision repairs
βœ” Minimal heat exposure
βœ” Strong, durable welds
βœ” Ideal for delicate jewelry
βœ” Cleaner results than traditional soldering
βœ” Helps preserve gemstones and fine details

Whether it's a cherished necklace, bracelet, anklet, or heirloom piece, we can often repair it quickly and have you wearing it again sooner than you think.
