Custom Jewelry Created Using All That Glitters Gemstones!

All That Glitters custom designed pieces are never seen by the public because once completed, they go immediately to the customer making the purchase. We haven't been offering custom designs to the public over the recent years. Our remaining inventory of our gemstones in settings, which consist of a few custom pieces, settings purchased from major manufactures of settings or even modifications of these settings, can be seen on the following page: All That Glitters Jewelry

So what does a customer do with a loose gemstone once purchased? There is no need to rush into doing anything!.... The gemstone will not look any different weeks, months or even years and decades from now, if you do nothing at all at the present time. Time gives one the opportunity to consider what they would like to do with a gemstone. One doesn't have to know exactly what will be done when making a gemstone purchase from All That Glitters, but careful consideration can be performed with time, visiting stores and goldsmiths, seeing what one likes and dislikes, whether one wants a ring or pendant, or even something else like a pin.... Maybe diamonds should be used, even colored diamonds or other colored gemstones; possibly white gold, yellow gold, rose or green gold, or a combination of different colors. The possibilities are endless! Purchasing a gemstone should not be a concern if no designs are in ones mind already. Another option is to set it very simply with the intention of creating something more elaborate in the future. In this way, one may enjoy the piece at the present time, knowing that in the future, it will be re-designed into something even more spectacular!

We tell custom goldsmiths and retail stores the following when they contact us and with a particular request in size, color and shape in mind for a customer - Our services are used best in the following way:

The setting of a gemstone is like framing a piece of art - if it is not an appropriate marriage, it doesn't work! If you have a fine gemstone, it should be married with a finely designed ring which enhances the gemstone. One does not expect to walk into a million dollar home and expect to find assembled pressed wood furniture. Our fine colored gemstones should live in custom settings and not calibrated mountings. With custom work, the gold is typically heavier, the quality evident, and one has a say in the final outcome and will not only own an exclusive gemstone, but an original design also. Just the fact you own an All That Glitters gemstone, depending on the piece, you already possess something that will not and can not be found in most fine quality stores, and that is also true of some of the largest, best known famous jewelry stores!

Below are examples of what some of our customers have done with their All That Glitters Gemstone Purchases! We have attempted to credit the goldsmiths/designers if known. Enjoy.......

Want to share what an All That Glitters customer created using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase using a lab Alexandrite faceted by the owner of All That Glliters - a large 12+ct Round faceted in a design called, Capitol Dome. She created a very unique intricate ring for herself in 14kt Rose Gold with the Alexandrite in the center and with Moonstone cabs as the accent gemstones. This design has lots of potential, as the center gemstone and the accents can be any gemstone desired; and, one can create this in Rose, Yellow or White Gold, and even Platinum if desired! The video above is a CAD/CAM Rendering for the customer to OK the design - it is then cast in the precious metal of choice and set with the desired gemstones.

Here is an Example of a Ring Created with our Lab Grown Alexandrite! This piece uses our Russian Grown Alex purchased and faceted by All That Glitters decades ago. It was created by one of our customers using the All That Glitters Jewelry Showcase. Design your own jewelry using All That Glitters Gemstones and our Jewelry Showcase. Check it out! The All That Glitters' Jewelers Showcase

Our customer designed this ring using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase. He used All That Glitters Lab Grown Alexandrite - a 5x7mm oval center flanked by a 4mm round on each side; the Alexandrites were faceted from our rough purchased decades ago from associates in Russia. He chose 14kt white gold and there are 16 Full Cut VS/F+ Diamonds in various areas of the ring, as well as an inscription inside the band. Using All That Glitters for the gemstones as well as ring creation, this person saved approximately $1,380 off the retail price!

Sharing a Recently Designed Custom Diamond Ring Created for One of Our Long Time Customers!

We saw a really brilliant beautiful 1.15ct, SI1 Round Brilliant Champagne Diamond (color of actual diamond is much lighter in person vs. the photo) with lots of Dispersion for sale by a dealer we have done business with for about 40 years. We called our customer to see if there was interest, because this piece was quite a sparkler and at a very good price. The customer purchased it and then designed the ring using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase and in about two weeks, had the finished ring in hand! She chose 14kt Yellow Gold with 42 Diamonds (0.61cts) of F+ Color, VS Clarity - Lab Grown. In Tucson 2023, there was lots of talk about Lab Grown Diamonds and large ones were available. The technology is there now to create large, very clean and highly white Diamonds; this was not the case initially. The prices are really wonderful too. As noted in recently trade articles, these Lab Created Diamonds are hot, affordable and many people are choosing to use them for center gems, engagement rings, accent stones, etc. In fact, we are working on an engagement ring for a new customer and he has selected the Lab Grown Diamonds also vs. natural for his ring - again, using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase. For those who are designing a ring and using our Jewelers Showcase link, your price will be approximately 25-30% below (perhaps more) than the retail price shown. *** Between the Diamond and the Ring, We Saved Our Customer $4,100 OFF the Retail Price! *** Read More about the All That Glitters Showcase - Start Designing YOUR Jewelry and Save Money Now!: All That Glitters Jewelry Showcase

One of our customers of 40+ years has created a custom ring for an All That Glitters Malaia Garnet purchased earlier. Using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase, she searched for a setting that would accommodate the shape/dimensions of her gemstone, chose Rose Gold, 14kt and within less than two weeks, her Malaia Garnet was set and being worn and admired by not only her, but all those who saw she was wearing it. (Like many gemstones, this was a gem that was in our vaults and hadn't seen the light of day for about 27 years - but this beauty was photographed and available on our website, destined to be placed into a unique and beautiful setting! Any of our customers can do similar designing by themselves too - just choose an All That Glitters Gemstone, obtain the dimensions and use the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase link to find the setting that appeals to you - many choices of gold as well as platinum are available, with or without diamonds or perhaps other accent gemstones OR design something based on something you have admired previously or create something entirely original!

An Imperial Malaia Garnet set into a pendant. This unique piece was designed by Eileen Mac Donald, and can be worn as shown, but has the option to hang the opposite way with the gemstone on the bottom. This allows the owner to have two very different looks. Frank Lau Jewelry

What is Imperial Malaia Garnet? It was named by the owner of All That Glitters and the first gemstone appeared in Gems and Gemology Magazine. To learn more, visit the following page: Imperial Malaia Garnet Story Note that many businesses call some of their garnets Imperial Malaia, but none have proved to actually be Imperial Malaia. So beware...

A large 3+ct Imperial Malaia Garnet, faceted from the initial several pieces of rough that All That Glitters initially obtained. We have purchased faceted gemstones and other rough, but none were as nice as the original few pieces. In the past, the ATG customer who owns this, had visited stores and no one had guessed what the gemstone was - including many gemologists. Some had thought it a rare colored diamond. Others thought they had similar material, but when it was compared, nothing was close!
