Whether you call it the season of joy, the holy holidays, the festive season, or the crazy season, the season is definitely upon us! Here at Aronstam Fine Jewelers, we like to kick off the season with a traditional open house. This year’s annual event is Thursday November 29th from 10 am – 8 pm,…
Pearls are classic, timeless and elegant and a miracle of nature. One of my favorite gem “stones,” pearls come in a huge variety of colors, from classic white to pink, silver, cream, golden, green, blue, black, and even rainbow-hued. Actually a mineral (calcium carbonate) rather than a true stone, pearls are formed in layers, slowly,…
When I saw Gaia Pelikan’s jewelry, I was knocked out by his ability to transform small pieces of history and nature into wearable, one-of-a-kind art. It is his almost magical precious metal transformations that have earned Gaia the description of an “alchemist.” A master goldsmith, he is known for mixing precious metals and pairing them…

It’s satisfying knowing that these comments are deserved, because I’ve put my best methods (hand carving and hand finishing) and highest quality gemstones and precious metals into each piece I design. A good example is this opal ring. You’ll notice the centerpiece stone…
I’ve always been a huge admirer of opals, which is why my friend Roger flies to Indy each fall to showcase the best and the brightest opals Australia has to offer. Come to the Aronstam Opal Jewelry Show Thursday October 11th and I promise that you will change your thinking about opals. Especially if your…
My work as a custom jewelry designer and as the owner of Aronstam Fine Jewelers over the past 45 years or so has given me an amazing perspective on those I serve.
