Copper jewelry comes to Family Jewels and Silver Inc.

Here at Family Jewels we listen to our customers!
We listen to our customers!

The history of Native American Indians using copper is interesting.
Native American Indians and the Old Copper culture appeared about 3000 BC and lasted approximately 2,000 years. Its tools and weapons, particularly its adzes, gouges, and axes, clearly indicate an adaptation to the forest.

“Old Copper” culture that flourished in the upper Great Lakes region of North America beginning about 4000 BC and continuing over the course of the next 2,000 years.

Clearly, copper was a metal the Natives liked and used. But, one must muse they stayed away from the shinny yellow metal we all know as gold. Even the use of silver did not start until the eighteenth century.

Copper was used for utensils, working tools and even for weapons. They also used them for decoration and making early jewelry. Copper had a close meaning with Mother Earth.
We have been requested to cast some beautiful copper jewelry, charms and pendants.
As I write this article the first casting molds are in progress, and we will add a section to our web store once they are finished.
We thank our friends for suggesting our making some copper jewelry for their Regalia.

Family Jewelers Great Bend, Kansas is a Gemologist

From our friends at Family Jewels, Great Bend, Kansas

Gemology is the is the science dealing with natural and artificial gems and gemstones. It is considered a geo-science and a branch of mineralogy. Some jewelers are academically trained gemologists and are qualified to identify and evaluate gems. Sadly, not everyone calling them self a jeweler is a trained gemologist. They are sales people hired to wait on customers like in chain stores or even in a jewelry store.

At Family Jewels and Silver Inc. in downtown Great Bend, Kansas our owner is a Gemologist GG and a fine design jeweler who owns a manufacturing Jewelry Store.

We make our jewelry right here in downtown Great Bend, Kansas.
We design wedding rings, rings, earrings, charms, bracelets and more in fine silver or in gold.

Our Friend a Gemologist Jeweler in Great Bend, Kansas

Osiyo:

We have now joined with our friend Larry in a new adventure for Annlee Cakes.

November 10th we drove to Great Bend with a full display of Native Regalia and added it to his jewelry store in downtown Great Bend. We have also added regalia to his brand new online jewelry store. Family Jewels and Silver Inc.

We know our friend is a Gemologist and a jeweler?
But were curious about the difference?

Larry provided the following for us to add to this blog.

What a Gemologist Knows? And is!
Many people are known as a jeweler, but may not be a Gemologist.
Here at Family Jewels and Silver Inc. we do know the difference.

A Gemologist studies the following, and has a very good working knowledge in these fields of gems and jewelry manufacturing.
Diamond Essentials
Diamonds & Diamond Grading
Colored Stone Essentials
Colored Stones
Gem Identification
Diamond Grading Lab
Colored Stone Grading Lab
Gem Identification Lab
Appraisals, Sales, and Custom Jewelry and Repair knowledge.

A Gemologist:
Inspects gemstones, such as diamonds, jade, sapphires, and rubies, to evaluate their genuineness, quality, and value, utilizing knowledge of gems and market valuations. Examines gem surfaces and internal structure, using polariscope, refractometer, microscope, and other optical instruments, to differentiate between stones, and identify rare specimens. Detects flaws, defects, or peculiarities affecting gem values.

Immerses stones in prescribed chemical solutions to determine specific gravities and key properties of gemstones or substitutes that indicate physical characteristics of stone for gem identification, quality determination, and for appraisal. Grades stones for color, perfection, and quality of cut. Identifies treatments that enhance the value of gemstones and gem materials. Estimates wholesale and retail value of gems, following pricing guides, market fluctuations, and various economic changes that affect distribution of precious stones. May advise customers and others in use of gems to create attractive jewelry items
A jeweler can be a gemologist...but it is not necessary to be a gemologist to be a jeweler. Jewelers are the fine people out there who sell jewelry, gemstones, and watches to the public. But for the most part, retail jewelers are not trained gemologists or appraisers. So simply because someone has been in the business for 10 or 20 years or more, does not make them a qualified gemologist or appraiser. Even though it may indeed make them a fine upstanding citizen in your local business community as a seen jeweler.
A gemologist is one who studies gemstone identification and grading. A good gemologist is not necessarily a good appraiser. But a good appraiser must be a good gemologists. How can this be? Well, a good gemologist will be someone who is constantly involved in the study of gemstones. One who deals daily in the world of gems.

What saddens me the most: 
Is when a person enters my store wanting a piece of jewelry re-sized or repaired only to discover it is not real and clearly not what they were told when they purchased it. Fast selling giant stores have sales people and not jewelers nor maybe not even a Gemologist on hand. Imported stuff that simply is not what they say it is. I suggest going to any jewelry store and finding out if they actually manufacture their jewelry in store. That is the real difference!
Larry is a Gemologist GG.
He works with gems, silver and gold every single day.
And, he is a manufacture of fine custom jewelry.

Twisted Bugle Bead 30mm Red Transparent Iris Beads Available at Annlee cakes

Osiyo:

We now have the very hard to find Twisted Bugle Bead 30mm Red Transparent Iris bugle beads available at our online shop. ONE OUNCE of the above bead/bugle. Twisted bugle beads are very popular for embroidery and costumes. They were made in the Czech Republic. Natives have used them on their Regalia ever since they first were brought for trade and crafting. We package them in pill type bottles for transportation to you. Bugles are delicate and in transit a couple may even chip. So we take the greatest care to add stuffing if needed in the bottles to prevent movement while in transit.

SOLD BY THE OUNCE ONLY. We do not count the beads/bugles: We weigh them! Expect to receive approximately 3 bugle 30mm beads per gram, or that is about 99 plus bugle 30mm bugle beads per ounce.

Please allow 3-7 business days for shipping on beads/bugles Because we do not prepackage them. We do order by order.
Blessings....Annlee and Bob
