Over the years I have experimented with and designed a multitude of jewelry pieces. Since I do a lot of work in copper, most of my designs fall into the ‘moderately priced’ category. 
Yet sometimes I will come across an unusual gemstone that screams.. “Mount me in something spectacular”! Not wanting to disappoint the gem… I figure out how to make it even more special and beautiful than it already appears to be.
Voila, the Gallery Collection is born!
[tweet_box design=”box_01″ url=”http://www.alenesadornments.com/gallery-collection/” float=”none”]The Gallery collection features rare and One of a Kind Jewelry designs that can remain in your family for generations[/tweet_box]
What is so special about this collection?
- Each one features at least one unusual gem.
- Each is designed in sterling or fine silver.
- Each design was created by my hand alone.
- The Silver has been hand forged, hammered, sawed and shaped to make it a very special piece of jewelry.
- The gemstones were hand selected for each particular pendant, earring, ring or bracelet.
- You can purchase and wear any of these pieces knowing that you alone own this original design.
As you may imagine, the price point on these beauties a little higher than my standard jewelry line. Prices for the pendants range from $200-$300 each. Rings and Earrings from $80-$150 each.
A few of my favorites:
Sterling Silver with a lab grown ruby. I started with a piece of silver. Then forged in sterling components and allowed all to meld together. The result is a lot of texture and a very substantial hunk of silver.
Sterling Ring with two Lab-grown emerald gemstones. I domed the silver band and then added the braided sterling border. Elegant and perfect for every occasion.
I found 4 of these Madagascar Jasper gemstones at the Tucson Gem Show 2 years ago. Each one is a different shape. I adore the inclusions. I decided to antique this design and add the Spiral to the piece. The Sunstone gemstone in the spiral complements the colors in the Jasper. Plus it has an almost glittery sheen. Hence the name Sunstone!
If you want to treat yourself to something special. Jewelry that you will wear frequently for many years, please stop by my store and have fun choosing your special design.
I love these, Alene! Your work is so spectacular. Once I get a second from all the puppies I’m going shopping on your site!
Thanks so much Susan. Every design is created from love and alignment
I like the stones set in silver, but I love your items set in copper. I also love the hammered look. I appreciate you sharing the names of the gemstones.
Thanks Robin. It’s all fun to create. Gets my juices flowing every time
What a lucky person I am to have my SISTER design jewelry and give me wonderful pieces that I wear and that mean so much to me! And I love buying pieces for friends.
It helps to be related to the designer😊
You are such an incredible artist. I love the way you create a story for your pieces. Beautiful!
Thanks so much Candess
Your creations are so beautiful Alene and the gallery pieces are truly amazing. I love the Madagascar Jasper necklace especially. Wish I lived closer. Even if you shipped to Australia, by the time you account for the exchange rates and postage, it’s just not doable for me. Love to see the pictures though and learn all about the gemstones and the creative process.
Appreciate it Tamuria. I have not ventured into shipping outside the USA or Canada for those very reasons
The public may see something beautiful but not know the special relationship you have with your gemstones. These stones must really love you to shout out as say “mount me something spectacular.” Naturally, you obliged and turn them into something that makes their beauty shine even more.
Of course. The stones really do speak to me in some ways. sounds crazy but I do feel a difference when the gem gets placed in the right setting
Love your work Alene! Beautiful ways to create with these interesting collection of stones 🙂
Thank you Joan. Working with unusual gems makes it more fun
Alene, I love this. You have such a keen eye for design and detail. It’s truly amazing. I love how you added the spiral to the Jasper gemstone. It’s a nice touch. I do love jewelry and find it really helps me feel great when I wear it:-)
thanks so much Tandy. I agree about feeling great when wearing jewelry. It creates an aura of sorts. hard to explain. I just know it works!
Those are 6 very good reasons to note why this collection of yours is special. Your passion and expertise shine through. Amazing work Alene.
thank you so much Teresa. I do feel empowered when I create one of these designs
This is a wonderful collection. I admire your creativity. My favorite is the sterling with emerald. Do not blame me, green is my fave color!
Yes I love the emerald one too! You have good taste 🙂
I love that these beautiful stones are set on silver. It makes the beauty of the stone pop out more. Beautiful gifts for mother’s day.
Great Suggestion. I will offer some promotion before Mothers Day
That jasper piece is stunning. It’s almost like it’s looking at you. Well done! And congrats on the new collection!
what a great compliment Jennifer. Thank you so much.
Very beautiful gemstones in your Gallery Collection, a very good idea.
thanks Katarina
These are exquisite pieces, and I immediately checked on your store for more. The Madagascar Jasper gemstones are my favorite of them all.
