I attempt to convey a sense of history and architecture in my pieces, reads the testimonial on his website, James Meyer Jewelry.<br /><br />To that end, Meyer uses the ancient lost wax method of making jewelery. After the design process, Meyer hand fashions a true size wax model for his piece, then, makes a plaster mold around the wax model. The plaster mold and wax model are heated until the wax burns away. Then, melted metal is poured into the mold to create the final piece. When the molten metal is cooled and hardened, the plaster cast is destroyed and the metal piece must be scrupulously cleaned, abraded and polished. This is an extremely time consuming process. Because both model and mold are destroyed during the process, each heirloom quality jewelry piece is one of a kind.<br /><br />Also, Meyer uses the direct metal method to hammer and hand shape his work. Other metals, wrapped and bezeled, as well as beautiful gemstones may be added to the final piece. Many featured gemstones are cut and polished old style as cabochons, as well as flat faceted. Meyer secures gemstones using labor intensive, time honored, bezel and gypsy settings where the the entire circumference of each stone is surrounded by metal as opposed to the modern, less skill required prong set method.<br /><br />Timeless Ring Design Good Enough for Smithsonian CollectionMeyers beautiful hand worked pieces are divinely simple, classically elegant, and absolutely timeless in design. His skill and design are so highly regarded that some of Meyers pieces have earned their place in The Smithsonian Institutes permanent collection.<br /><br />Although Meyer shows many rings on his site, he writes under the Wedding Bands section, I have no made up stock to sell. As with many of my one of a kind pieces, I consult with the customer about the style, metals and stones to be used. His gorgeous finished ring photos feature plenty to inspire your very own James Meyer ring.<br /><br />James Meyer Protegs Offer Meyer style Fine JewelryUnfortunately, as this article was being published, Jim Meyer emailed and explained that he was going to be making a limited amount of jewelry for the foreseeable future in order to pursue other endeavors, such as printmaking and furniture making. So for now, consumers looking for an iconic Meyer piece may not be able to find one.<br /><br />However, the good news is that Jims son, Caleb Meyer, follows in the style of his father and fashions a full line of one of a kind fine jewelry pieces, including handcrafted wedding rings and wedding ring sets, gemstone rings, and 18K gold mens signet rings ready for personal engravings.<br /><br />Also, jewelry artist Ann McKay, who used to work with Meyer, offers fine jewelry in the Meyer style. For men, McKay offers a line of wedding bands and bridal sets. Both Anne McKay and Caleb Meyer accept custom orders.<br /><br />Diamond Rings, Gold Rings for MenIf it is a man ring with diamonds that you desire, then, look no further than to David Friedlander, owner of Diamonds by Lauren.
