There’s jewelry, and then there’s JEWELRY! Sometimes a simple necklace or pair of earrings isn’t enough to adequately express who you are and what makes you tick. Many other jewelry stores shy away from the more creative side of bedazzling our bodies, but Marx Jewelers is ready and willing for whatever custom work you have in mind. We would love to make you a piece that is as 100% unique as you are!

Bling for Your Skin

I recently was asked by a friend of mine to make a custom piece for his wife. She wanted a piece of implanted body jewelry fitted with a diamond. The original piece was made with a cubic zirconia and she wanted us to replace it with a real gem.

For those of you who don’t know, microdermal piercings are installed on flat surfaces of the body where only one end of the piercing is visible on the surface of the skin. The other end is embedded in the dermal layer of the skin. This is in contrast to piercings that go all the way through the skin, like your ears or your lip.

This type of procedure is done by inserting the micro dermal anchors underneath your skin. After a couple months, the tissue and skin grows around the anchor and holds it in place. The jewelry part of it is actually screwed into the anchor so that only the gem is visible.

This was a first for me but I was happy to take on the project! And I’m ready for more creative pieces. So what can you come up with?

A Truly Sparkling Smile

A few years ago one of the stars of the hit TV show Gold Rush Alaska got into a fight where he lost his tooth. I have worked on several gold teeth over the years but this guy had something totally different in mind: He wanted Diamonds!

This was no simple undertaking. The process for fitting a crown can be extensive. I worked closely with the dentist to try to figure out a way to ensure that the diamonds could be fitted to the crown without having to cook the crown again once the diamonds were placed on. High heat will smoke the diamonds causing them to lose their characteristic sparkle, which would make the whole project pointless.

Together with the dentist, we found a special medium that allowed us some time to place the diamonds before it cured and the results were truly amazing.

Dedicated to being your jeweler,
