New Traditional Pharmacy Symbol Lapel Pin

Pharmacy Symbol pin pendantOne of our customers called today and said that the traditional Pharmacy Symbol (Rx) Lapel pin could not be found anywhere and he was in a panic because pharmacy graduation was only two weeks away and he needed that pin.

I  sat down and designed the pharmacy lapel pin, it was a snap. I made  it out of Sterling Silver that is eco friendly post consumer scrap, in other words this piece of jewelry is “GREEN” not really, but it is made from silver that has been recycled.

Pharmacy symbols that can be worn as jewelry on lab coats or as Lapel pins on jackets are a very stylish and thoughtful pharmacy graduation gift.

We can still get these out for graduates around the country.  Pharmacy graduates and Pharmacy Technician graduates would enjoy this great gift. The Pharmacy piece is also available as a pendant for those who wish to wear it that way.

Nickel Allergies and Jewelry

Do I have a nickel Allergy?

Symptoms of a nickel allergy arise from contact, usually repeated contact with items containing the metal nickel or various nickel compounds.

Nickel Allergy- common symptoms

The most common symptom is chronic itching (purities). The itching is often combined with a red rash, raised bumps and broken skin. Itchy red rash around your belt buckle or blue jeans button that often contains nickel, or an itchy rash around your watch or on the ears in the case of nickel earrings. Itchy rash on ring finger or over areas where nickel-containing jewelry might be worn is often associated with this nickel sensitivity or allergy. Most medical dermatologist can do patch tests to determine if you have nickel sensitivity but most medical doctors do not have a treatment for this condition other than instructing you to avoid contact with nickel containing jewelry, belt buckles, buttons etc. Most Sterling Silver and Yellow Gold Jewelry does not have Nickel in it. White Gold Jewelry has been made with Nickel but new alloys contain no Nickel.

At Skystone and Silver we can direct you to none Nickel jewelry and Findings. We can also make jewelry you are now having problems with wearable.

Dr Welch has been treating Nickel Allergies with great success. Information about his great allergy treatments can be viewed at Allergies Gone For Life

Jessie Urie(White) and Rick Sindeband have collaborated on a two tone fairy pendant that is magical all by itself. The 1.25 inch signed and hallmarked fairy is made from Sterling Silver and Brass, and is hand cut and fabricated to make a spectacular piece for the Holidays. Anyone who loves or collects these magical little beings will be fascinated with this design and will treasure this piece for a lifetime.

Jewelry Repair Pueblo Colorado

Jewelry repair for Silver Jewelry can be very tricky and many shops in the Pueblo Colorado area do not have trained Silversmiths and will not work on silver jewelry.  Silver jewelry takes more work than Gold jewelry to repair because in most cases stones need to be removed before the repair. Traditional heat sink methods used by Goldsmiths many times will not work with silver and can possibly damage or destroy the stones set in the jewelry.  Silver jewelry also takes more heat for traditional soldering techniques, and of course the bigger the piece the more heat that is necessary. Some repairs can be done in our shop by heatless methods without removing the stones such as earring posts.  At Skystone and Silver we evaluate every job with you to determine the possibility of success or failure based on the desired jewelry repair. At Skystone and Silver we do both Silver and Gold jewelry repairs.

Eco Friendly “Green” Jewelry

We have started making many Eco friendly jewelry items for our customers.  Many of these pieces  are 100% post consumer scrap, in other words made from jewelry that they already own.  Many of the customers we have are taking Gold and Silver Jewelry they now own and are turning it into a piece of jewelry that they will use more often , see how this is done One recent customer took some old pieces that his deceased father wore every day and turned them into a cross that he would wear, keeping his father’s memory close to him at all times.  Multiple ring wearers are my favorites. Some have had all their diamonds reset in new rings that are 100% post consumer scrap. One of our most popular Eco Friendly Jewelry Collections is the Aspen Leaf Jewelry Collection.
