I always say that the gemstones dictate their designs and that is so true. I have been working with a really amazing Diaspore trying to fit her into the sketch I came up with but to no avail. She simply refuses. This gem is so beautiful that she wants to star in a simple design that allows her to display her color change characteristics. So, with a … [Read more...]

Finally! I have time to “work” in my lab.
March 25, 2011 By MK-admin
Finally! I have time to “work” in my lab. I use the term work loosely because this is one of the most exciting parts of my profession! First, I set up all of my equipment, which I keep stored and covered. Then, I lay out my reference books and materials. These books are fabulous, I can and do spend hours with them!

Pearls are a mainstay for MK Designs
March 4, 2011 By MK-admin
Pearls are a mainstay for MK Designs. No longer the single strand of white cultured that a debutante wears to her graduation or ball, these organic gems have come into a world of their own. (Though having said that, I still have my first strand and I treasure them). In today’s world though, the Pearl can hold its own as one of the exotic gems, … [Read more...]

We just want to be Outrageous!
March 1, 2011 By MK-admin
Sometimes we just want to be outrageous! Our 32 carat natural Topaz has been chatting with me for awhile about what she wanted to star in. The obvious choice for a stone this large is a pendant but she was insistent and, as always happens, the gemstone dictates the design. The result is an intoxicating ring that features this magnificent stone in … [Read more...]
