Sphalerite jewelry

 

Although sphalerite is a soft gem and it's usually not used in jewelry, some designers get captivated by the beauty of this gem and some very skilled jewelers are capable to set this soft stone in precious metal mounting.


In this section we publish some spectacular examples of such artistic work, with credits to the authors.

18K gold pendant with 38 ct sphalerite, "Markoh-i-noor" cut designed by Marco Voltolini,
faceted by Egor Gavrilenko (gem-sphalerite.com)

One of our sphalerites mounted in 18K gold pendant by Spanish jeweler Jorge Rojas. He wanted to use this spectacular but soft Spanish stone for his creations and he invented a very original technique for that, using gold rods and laser welding, so the stones don’t suffer any pressure in setting procedure, and the mounting itself protects the soft stones from blows and scratches!
