Steven Kretchmer's newest innovation is Polarium®, a polarized, or magnetic, form of platinum that brings a completely new dimension to fine jewelry. And a scientific breakthrough for Kretchmer, who holds many technical patents. These enchanting Venus earrings -- truly unlike anything you've ever seen before -- are composed of three free-floating Polarium® platinum discs hovering weightlessly along an 18k yellow gold drop that swings gracefully from the ear. Like planetary bodies suspended in space, these three discs "float in space" by their intense magnetism and bounce gently with the movement of the body, always returning to their original position. There is no metal connecting them; they stay in place only due to their opposing magnetic force. For additional information please click here or visit Steven at his booth in the Galleria pavilion of the JCK ~ Las Vegas Show, click on www.stevenkretchmer.com or call the Kretchmer Design Studio at 518-678-0304.

Paula Crevoshay has added another dimension to the one-of-a-kind jewels that have made her so well-known throughout the industry: added flexibility made possible by the ability to add and remove something to a piece so that it has two 'looks.' At right, the red-stone dangle takes a piece of jewelry that can be worn daytimes and transforms it into something very dressy, very formal for the evening. While having an add-on is not all that new historically, it brings added value to Paula's work which is already collectible. More info and images can be found here or at her booth -- 20133 -- in the Design Center of the JCK Show ~ Las Vegas. You can also reach her at 505-898-2888 or at info@crevoshay.com, or www.crevoshay.com. High resolution images are located here and further info is here.
