Caring About Nature because She Cares About UsPosted Jul-24-08 08:16:24 PDT Updated Jul-24-08 08:16:58 PDT Recent films, like Blood Diamond starring Leonardo DiCaprio, have focused attention on where and how jewelry manufacturers get their metals and gemstones. Because we use genuine natural gemstones and .925 sterling silver at Relios Jewelry, we owe a lot to Mother Nature. We especially owe it to her to take good care of her. We do our part by using recycled silver. You’ll find that we use recycled silver in every one of our sterling silver jewelry pieces, because we know that the mining of silver and other metals can be harsh on the environment. Metals like gold and silver are sometimes mined with a process called chemical leaching. Chemical leaching is where tons of earth are dug up, placed on a slab and then a chemical solution that binds to heavy metals like silver, is poured through it. The solution binds to the gold or silver and pulls the particles of metal out of the earth for separation later. Digging up so much land is damaging enough to the environment, but some of the chemicals needed to make the process work can be quite hazardous as well.
But that begs the question: where exactly does our silver come from? Our supplier of silver specializes in recovering silver from sources like other jewelers and photo-imaging companies. The silver is collected in the form of scrap bearings from jewelers using mined silver and the waste materials from photo development, then the silver is refined, analyzed for quality and then reformed for use by organizations like us. So, come by the Relios Jewelry website and see the result of putting the beauty of nature first! Discount Silver Jewelry - Discover the Corazon CollectionPosted Jun-24-08 10:00:06 PDT Updated Jul-18-08 12:50:32 PDT Corazón. In Spanish, it means “heart.” Here at Relios Jewelry, the Corazón Collection is how we pass on to you some great jewelry at the best prices imaginable. We feel that the Corazón Collection embodies the true "heart" of Relios brand jewelry by bringing together pieces from other Relios jewelry collections. Every month our designers are dreaming up dozens of new jewelry ideas, and that gives us the opportunity to offer you highly discounted prices. We don’t think the rising prices of gas and everything else should stop anyone from treating herself to something nice and we like the fact that as the designer and manufacturer of the jewelry, we can help you add great new accessories to your collection without breaking the bank. That’s what the Corazón Collection is all about. The prices alone make the Corazón Collection an incredible source for jewelry, but would you believe that the collection also includes rare pieces? Since many of these pieces have ended their production run, the quantities we have are limited. In fact, some of the pieces that find their way to the Corazón Collection are limited-edition designs that didn’t find their way into other collections. We’re talking about unique, top-quality designer styles that we couldn’t take advantage of because of a short supply of the natural gemstones we used in their design. Natural gemstones. Incredible prices. Unique pieces in limited quantities. Sounds like a great opportunity to make a lasting, one-of-a-kind impression on your friends! If you want to take a closer look at the Corazón Collection you can follow this link to the discount silver jewelry section of the Relios Jewelry website. The Tradition of Turquoise - About Turquoise Jewelry by ReliosPosted Jun-24-08 09:48:16 PDT Updated Jul-21-08 09:01:25 PDT When someone says the words “Southwestern style,” what comes to mind? Vibrant colors? Possibly. Native American and Spanish/Mexican influences? Probably. Turquoise jewelry. Definitely. From the iron-laden green turquoise
to the copper-infused
blue turquoise, turquoise
jewelry is the cornerstone of Southwestern
fashion. As a gemstone, turquoise
carries so much
history and symbolism. Native
American tradition
tells us that turquoise stole its color from the sky, and when the wind
blows,
it is the sky searching for the “sky stone.”
This December birthstone was one of the first stones used
as a gemstone,
and it was so highly valued as a talisman for good health, currency,
and
jewelry, that man would risk life and limb traveling over treacherous
terrain
in search of this “green gold.” Turquoise is an extremely rare geological occurrence, forming in arid regions where the surrounding earth is rich in aluminum and copper deposits. Weathering and oxidation pull elements from other pre-existing minerals like malachite and feldspar and when those elements settle and interact with each other in cracks and fissures, the result is turquoise. When other minerals are trapped in the hardening turquoise, unique patterns, often referred to as the matrix, are created in the deposit. We like to think of these patterns as the fingerprint of Mother Nature, making each stone special – no two are alike.
