Alex Soldier Jewelry

Fine Gold and Platinum Wedding Rings

Alex Soldier is a pseudonym for Alexei Soldatov - who was born on a threshold of two continents, Europe and Asia, in the Ural Mountains region, city of Perm. This region is known for its abundant natural resources such as gold. Alex Soldier gives life to his work, making it more a piece of art than an accessory: he breathes life into each piece he creates.

When he arrived in the United States in 1990, Soldier began to work independently, trying to develop different ways of designing and producing contemporary jewelry in 18k gold and platinum and precious gemstones. His debut was in 1996, when he was chosen as one of the twelve new dynamic designers to exhibit at the celebrated Jewelers of America Show New Designer Gallery with his neo-classic collection.

The show was such a success that in September of the same year, Alex Soldier was invited to have a private exhibition at the United Nations Open Day in New York City. In December 1996, Alex Soldier's collection was also displayed at the prestigious Mougans Gallery in Cannes, France.





Men's Platinum Wedding Band

In 1998, Alex Soldier won a Platinum Passion Award from Platinum Guild International. Two years later, he became a member of the International Jewelry Design Guild. In 2002, he won a prestigious Spectrum Award from American Gem Trade Association.



Soldier's work is always fresh and new. "Every time I create something I strive to find a new composition or finish of metal, unusual forms, or unique stone settings to create a piece that is beautiful and distinctive, that can be appreciated as a finished work of art. I want my jewelry to be recognized as the original works of a designer like no other, as well as for their own individuality."



For Alex Soldier, each piece he creates is a new life waiting to tell its story. More than just metal and stones, Soldier's jewelry is as meaningful, incorporating layers of details that offer its wearer many visual surprises. No other designer in the world possesses the knowledge of the texturing techniques that Alex Soldier implements on his creations, making them original in form and unsurpassed in innovation.

Hudson Jewelry Collection

Gold and Gemstone Jewelry

Light luxury and subtle decadence are two ways to describe jewelry made by the Hudson Collection and designer Sarah Sheridan. The company was founded by diamond traders who settled in New York, so not too surprisingly the collection uses a lot of exquisite diamonds in its designs. But those of you who don't want diamonds in every piece of jewelry you wear don't need to worry.





Manhattan Ring: Green Amethyst in 14k White Gold

The amethyst stone in this piece measures approximately 15mm by 12mm and sits 8mm proud of the hand. This classic piece is a must for any Designer Jewelry collection. The Amethyst is 10.5 carats total weight.

$767



The Hudson Collection design team is based in New York, but is available exclusively in the UK from the Astley Clarke Online Boutique. The talented team at the Hudson Collection also uses Amethyst, Garnet, and other precious and semiprecious stones in its designs. And these stones come in a variety of stunning colors that add a great deal of style and charm to each piece.





Manhattan Pendant: Purple Amethyst in 14k White Gold

The amethyst pendant measures 1/2 an inch in width and 5/8 of an inch in length, on a 16 inch chain. This beautiful designer necklace would make a fabulous gift. 9.75 carats total gem weight.

$767



Hudson Fine Jewelry has the perfect collection for women who mix expensive Fifth Avenue chic and downtown cool. The Collection is known for its strong designs, and the most recognized trademark shape of this designer is the open, softly squared frame. This central shape can be seen throughout the collection, from simple studs, lariat necklaces, cuff links, long swinging snake chain earrings, and large rings.





South Sea Pearl Ring in 14k Yellow Gold

This fabulous ring features a single south sea pearl with subtle gold tones, perfectly complementing its 14k gold setting.

$1303



Chunky necklaces by Hudson are made out of a link style that is unique to the company and designer Sarah Sheridan. To make this style feminine for women, the chain looks like a simple paper chain in metal. Men's chains have a gentle twist so that each link looks like it's tumbling into the next.

A Great Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, despite rarely getting to spend it with my only son (I get to do that at Christmas). But this Thanksgiving was special; not only did I get to spend it with my son and his wife, we went to them in Washington, D.C. and had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at 1789 (great restaurant in Georgetown) along with other friends and my niece and her fiance. The great news: I am going to be a grandmother!!! I've never had a Thanksgiving quite like this one! My only wish is that my sister, her husband and son could have been there too (our regular Thanksgiving crew).

Although I've been busy traveling and eating good food, I do have some new pieces on the website. You can find new bracelets on the Swarovski Crystal Bracelets page and the Lampwork Bracelets page.
Today, I'm featuring 3 of the newest necklaces to hit the Cluny Grey Jewelry website. The top labradorite necklace has a pretty teardrop shaped pendant with a labradorite cabochon with plenty of flash. The second rose quartz necklace is a favorite of mine, not only because it is made with vermeil (gold), but because of the very large, rough-cut rose quartz nuggets that make up the lower sides of the necklace. The pendant is especially too: a large rose quartz cabochon with bezel-set citrines at the bottom.
Finally, the bottom necklace is made primarily of jade with a sterling silver pendant consisting of a carved flower and a prehnite cabochon. Do remember that when these are shown on display, they look longer usually than they actually are. Please ask if you need a necklace a certain length.

Have you done your Christmas shopping yet?

Nava Zahavi Jewelry

Handcrafted Gemstone Jewelry

Nava Zahavi is a well recognized and respected jewelry designer, known for her unique and high quality line of jewelry. Featured by Vogue, O Magazine, InStyle, Lucky, Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, and Shape. Covered by the New York Times and Bride's, purchased by Whoopi Goldberg, Debra Messing and others, Nava Zahavi's jewelry has achieved approval from the most sophisticated international shoppers.





Seaworthy Ring

Displaying oceanic depths of beauty, an expansive Aquamarine cabochon sets sail in a 24k gold bezel atop a 14k gold band.

$1300



Nava Zahavi sources some of the most colourful gemstones on the planet, cuts them, and wraps them in stunning 24k gold creations. She is drawn to gemstones that evoke sea, sky, and sand, often enveloping them in the sunlit warmth of 24k gold. Nava draws her inspiration from the Mediterranean environment she grew up in - the sea, the beaches, olive trees, and fresh soil.





Seascape Earrings

An ocean view, caught through Chalcedony cabochon portholes crowned with sparkling Peridot. Handmade matte 24k gold findings affixed to 14k gold locking French wires. 7/8"L.

$790



The cultural influences evident in her line can be traced to ancient Egypt and Greece. The structural organization of her jewelry reveals her extensive background in design. Rambles through antique markets around the world awakened Nava Zahavi's gift for reinterpreting the adornments of ancient civilizations. The influence of artisans from centuries past can be seen in each of her creations, as well as the crystalline hues of her Mediterranean homeland.





Sunspark Necklace

Brilliant Lemon Quartz is set ablaze by a sunlit setting of 24k Gold over sterling; Blue Topaz, Labradorite, and Aquamarine provide piercing blue glimpses of sky. Hook and eye clasp. Approx. 17"L. Handcrafted.

$750



Nava's collection is based on two lines, which complement each other. Her collection contains reproductions of antique jewelry made with 14k rose gold, reminiscent of aristocratic splendor. At the other end of the spectrum is Nava's modern line, containing unique pieces enhanced by semiprecious stones. These pieces incorporate 24k gold in a very modern yet timeless setting.
