A customer came to us with a request for a custom made engagement ring. She also wanted a custom cut sapphire to set into it. Well, here is the results of the Chatham sapphire, cut to our customer's specifications! The stone is a cushion cut with a beautiful, deep blue color and weighs 4.42ct. We'll post an image of the ring when it's finished.
Yesterday's rumor was that President Elect Barack Obama was buying his wife Michelle a rhodium and diamond ring as a 'thank you' for her support over the past two years. Well, it appears from today's statement this is not true. (See the article here)
We thought it interesting that the ring was made from rhodium, the world's most expensive metal. If you're not familiar with rhodium, it is the substance that most white gold jewelry is plated with to give it the bright white platinum-like color. Rhodium is a very rare metal that as recently as 6 months ago cost $10,000/oz. (Currently, it's trading for under $1,000/oz!). We at Joseph Schubach Jewelers would love to custom make a ring made from rhodium. So, if you're interested in something unusual like this, give us a call!

The price of platinum jewelry is falling and, actually, the metal is currently less than 1/2 price. Back in February of this year we sent a newsletter featuring the cost benefits of using alternative metals due to platinum’s high price.
Well, the price of platinum has now dropped from over $2200/oz earlier in the year to under $900/oz as of today. Now is a great time to take advantage of this unusual situation and have a platinum anniversary band, a platinum engagement ring or any other piece of platinum jewelry made. Visit our website or call us today for assistance.
A few weeks back we posted a progress report on a custom inlay ring we were making (click here to view the post). We’re happy to say we finished this ring and we’re even happier to say that it’s gorgeous, in our humble opinions!
This ring contains 8 semi precious stones specifically cut to fit—plus eight princess cut diamonds weighing 1/2ct in total. The semi precious stones are: salmon coral, green jade, onyx, lapis, tiger eye, 2 different types of turquoise and mother of pearl. The ring has a solid back to give it some extra weight and durability.
We copied a ring that Bruce had that was made from sterling silver, and we’ve included a copy of the original for you to see. We’ve also included the original CAD drawing and the interim step.
Thanks again, Bruce, we are very happy to have helped you with this!!!

A customer of ours just sent this snazzy picture showing how she sports her custom made princess cut moissanite ring that we recently created for her. And, she happened to throw in a few accolades in her email that we couldn't resist posting on our blog (with her permission, of course). We're all kind of blushing over here. . . . . .
But wait, haven't we seen this ring before? Oh yes, it was an entry on our Custom Jewelry Design Contest: (click here)
Anyway, here's the good stuff! Thanks Cecily, we are so happy you love your ring and thanks for the kind words!!!! Cheers!

Subtle but beautiful! We have these little tiny natural pink diamonds in for a customer. While subtle and light in color, they would look absolutely gorgeous set into rose gold, say in an accent band around a center diamond in a white gold engagement ring, for instance! We can hardly wait to make something with these!!!
Beautiful Blue! Blue sapphires and blue diamonds encrust this beautiful, custom made engagement ring. The center stone of this unique engagement ring is a sapphire while alternately channel set down the sides are blue diamonds and more blue sapphires. Complete with a custom message engraved inside the ring!
A client came to us with his wife’s favorite necklace to have re created. The original was costume jewelry, made from base metal and imitation stones. We custom made a new necklace using 14kt white gold, natural blue sapphire, blue topaz and aquamarine stones. The shiny new favorite is shown on the left and the original on the right.
