Aronstam Jewelers

Custom Jewelry

New, one-of-a-kind, custom jewelry will be arriving soon. Marc hand picks only the best gemstones and minerals to use in his custom-designed jewelry. The Aronstam gallery will be updated weekly, so check back often. One of the skills I have is to be able to understand what a customer wants beyond what he or she may say. I have a longtime customer who calls me ‘The Jewelry Whisperer,’ because after finding out what is important to her and seeing what she wears, I design around this sense I have of who she is and what she’ll love. ~ Marc While some jewelers talk about prestige diamond collections and ask about your budget, Marc of Aronstam Fine Jewelers asks what is important to you and what you are passionate about. If he’s designing something for a woman, he requests a meeting to get an idea of her personality, understand her style, and find out what she likes and — what she doesn’t.

Decorative Fossils

What fun to have unusual discoveries from across the globe and from under the sea gracing the walls and alcoves of your home! Marc picks up what interests him in his travels, and you’ll find these gifts from the earth and rare artifacts throughout the gallery. Marc’s eclectic anthology includes spectacular glass works, antique swords and weapons, and wall panels of prehistoric fossilized fish, primitive cephalopods, graceful ferns, and intricately chambered ammonites. Each has a story. No two are alike.

Geodes & Crystals

Geodes turned Marc on as a kid and still do! Geodes begin to form as mineral-rich water trickles into a rock’s porous surface. Tiny crystals are left behind as the water evaporates. As millions of years pass, the evaporating water gradually builds crystals inside the empty space. Each crystal formation takes its colors from the iron, magnesium, sulfur, or other minerals in the water. And oh, the colors and gems that lie inside – awaiting unearthing! Marc’s geode collection hails from all over the world. Come explore it!

Kaleidoscopes

I like to explore people’s boundaries through art – push their comfort level a little. Here’s what I’m excited about right now… ~ Marc CHESNICK KALEIDOSCOPES You can’t pass a Chesnick kaleidoscope without picking it up and peeking inside. Beautiful and hand-wrought, Chesnik kaleidoscopes are joy-filled — some of the most spectacular wheeled kaleidoscopes available. Each is one-of-a-kind, made with stained glass, gem stones, brass, copper, chrome, and/or fine oiled wood.

Knives & Pens

“Owning a collection of something of value, expertly created, can be very satisfying. Whether you collect gold watches, antique brooches, or fine hunting knives, there is a pleasure to adding to a carefully chosen collection, especially as it gains in value over time.” ~ Marc William Henry knives are among the finest in the world, each an exceptional handcrafted rendition of function, form and value. Every William Henry knife is assembled, adjusted and hand-finished to exacting quality standards. The perfect men’s gift.

Dichroic Glass

The colorful shiny glass Jane Tivol uses is called dichroic glass. Dichroic Glass is a multi layer coating created by melting quartz crystal and metal oxides. The vapor then attaches and condenses onto the surface of the glass, forming a crystal structure comprised of as many as 30 layers of these materials. Jane Tivol glass pieces are food safe but should not be used in a microwave or put in a dishwasher.

Custom Jewelry Design

I don’t want to simply make a product I can sell a hundred of. My best advertising is my custom jewelry work. Custom IS my normal. ~ Marc Marc began designing custom made jewelry 45 years ago in his parent’s home. Although his designs, work and reputation have come a long way since then, Marc still considers himself a bench designer, first and foremost. Jewelry making traditions from every age inform Marc’s world. He loves to create around inspiration from his customers. Come in with an idea, a stone, or a romance – and Marc will help you create a custom jewelry piece that uniquely tells your story. Bring pictures, stories, quirky ideas, and outlandish requests. You’ll be listened to as Marc creates a custom jewelry design that is yours alone. I want to work with people, one-on-one…. so I can take into consideration the shape of the hands or the neck of the woman who will wear the piece. I design from within, respecting the beauty of the stone and the essence of the person I’m designing for. ~ Marc Set up a meeting with Marc. The jewelry design process will be enlightening and fun. And it won’t cost nearly as much as you think. ONE-OF-A-KIND DESIGNS BY MARC ARONSTAM To set up a time to meet personally with Marc, direct email to [email protected] or call 317-817-9000.
