Michon Jewelry Blog

There is a lot of misinformation out there about jewelry, and as new metal alloys are developed, as well as new methods for enhancing stones and creating gemstones in a lab, it is becoming increasingly confusing for consumers and jewelry makers alike to know what they are getting when purchasing jewelry or gemstones. The purpose of this blog is to answer as many common questions about jewelry as possible, and when necessary, correct common misperceptions regarding stones, pearls and metals. In addition to information for consumers, I will post information about making jewelry that I think could be useful to anyone interested in creating a piece of jewelry for themselves - or to anyone who might be curious about the processes and materials I and other professional jewelry artisans use to create jewelry.

I hope this information is useful to people considering purchasing jewelry as well as to jewerly makers who want to increase their expertise about materials and methods for making jewelry.
