How to Clean your Jewellery at Home!

Here is a great video for you that will demonstrate to you easily – how you can clean your diamond set, gemstone set or plain gold jewellery at home!

I take you through the steps of how you can get a semi professional clean right in the comfort of your own home. Your jewellery will not be polished, but the best advantage of this technique is that all of the grime and layered on dirt will be removed. What this means for you is that the “stuff” that is caked onto your precious diamonds and gens actually gets in the way of light coming through and into the diamond or gemstone. So when this layer of grime is removed, we open the diamond or gemstone up to the full amount of light again, which will significantly enhance the sparkle and brightness of the jewellery you are wearing.

This is best done a little while before you go out to that special party, or event, it will only take you a couple of minutes to do so it really is quick and easy!

Please note CAREFULLY the instructions contained within the video as they must be adhered to for the best result.

Pink Diamond Investment

This short video sums it all up!

If you are looking for the kind of investment that is what the ultra wealthy make without the vast majority of people knowing – then this is one of them.

Pink diamonds have averaged a 15% increases in value, year on year, for the past 20 years – that is 15% each and every year… for 20 years…

Don’t just take my word for it, watch the video below and then if this is something that is right for you and you want to start making an investment in Pink Diamonds – you will want to contact me through my website Eskae Private Jeweller

Your discretion is my focus, and making an investment in Pink Diamonds does have an entry level of around $50,000. I have very well established contacts here in Sydney, which means for you, that I am able to supply you with the best available selection given the fact that we are looking at a product with dwindling supply levels.

I have several other bog posts about Pink Diamonds of which the one that sums up the situation the most can be found by clicking on the link in this paragraph.

Throughout this blog you will also find many posts that point to record breaking sales of pink diamonds throughout the world. The demand is there and these posts prove that fact.

The Argyle Pink Diamond mine at the moment has put production on hold and has started the next phase of its mining operation – called “piping” where they are drilling verticle holes into the ground so they can access the remaining diamond deposits there. Once they have finished with the piping phase, they will start to drill across the pipes which is called “caverning”

There is a finite amount of Pink Diamond left in the ground in the Argyle mine, which accounts for 90-95% of the worlds pink diamonds. The investment worth of these rare and magnificent diamonds will esclate in line with the decline in supply.

When would NOW be a good time to start looking at an investment in one of the earths most wonderful creations?

Get in touch with me via my website or  the contact form on the right, so that I can help you make an investment in Pink Diamonds.

Eskae Jeweller’s Studio Development Stage 2

Here is the second video of our Studio Construction series, it showcases just how the development came about along with the highs and lows throughout the process of constructing our dream!

This video opens with us erecting the joists to create the flooring space on the mezzanine. It wasn’t exactly the hardest part of the build, but it certainly did take more time than I had anticipated. To get the distance between each joist exactly 450mm, which is the standard in Australia, involved the use of clamps, spacers and muscle to hold the sometimes slightly warped 4 x 2″ joists in place. We then used galvanised roofing screws to hold the joists in place on the steel framework.

We then move to shots of my beautiful wife Sharisse helping me lay the flooring down in the Studio getting ready for the internal wall framework to go in. What the video doesn’t show you is that 2 days before – we had bought exactly the same floor and tried to lay it in exactly the same way, but for some reason it was twisting as we lay it over the concrete flooring. For some unknown reason to us AND no matter how many times we removed the twisting boards and put them down in a different combination they would always twist… in exactly the same way…

So after many hours of scratching our heads we decided to cut the losses for that day (and the next 2 – as it takes 48 hours for the flooring to acclimatise to its new environment) and drive back to where we got them from to exchange them for new ones. Now you have to picture this, Sharisse and I in messy clothes carrying 10 boxes – each one – filled with 9 planks of flooring timber ALL opened, ALL spilling everywhere as we tried to carry them, then asking for an exchange! I hate to think what the poor lady who served us was thinking…

Once we got over the issues with the flooring, you can see that it really started to take shape nicely.

Just so you know, the same thing happened with the new floor, but only to 3 panels of flooring, so we decided to agree that it was the concrete floors fault! and DEFINITELY not ours!

Next you can see that we have the internal frames going up, for me, this is where the project really started to pick up pace and start to look like something more than just a bunch of walls and some steel inside this unit. I am a visual person, so as much as I have had this image of what it is the Eskae Jewellery Studio will look like once done, to now be able to get a visual measure of how we were tracking was about as good as christmas! I could see the space defining itself and the proportions of that space defining the overall look and feel of the studio. For me – it was beginning to take on a life of its own.

Make sure you take a note of how I explain how each space is to be used, you will remember it when you see the next and then the final instalment of the Eskae Jeweller Studio Development videos, I hope you will find it interesting to see how they change from a simple wooden frame to a usable and workable space for creating and crafting your jewellery!

The framework that you see in place at the end of the video, took us about 1 solid week to erect and install in place. As I mentioned earlier it is the part of the project that for me, really started to pick up the pace somewhat. Things were getting made and installed in a matter of about a day as opposed to waiting days for something to be half way finished. It was also the first time that we could really see the space/s starting to evolve.

Stay tuned for the next instalment of our development where you can really start to see the spaces getting finalised and it will give you a glimpse into how the Studio will look when finished.

The Dr’s House Call…

Here is a short video from when Dr Marc Dussault and Monica paid me a surprise visit during the development stage of the new Eskae Jewellery Studio.

Marc Dussault really hits the nail on the head when he is talking about the dream becoming a reality. This business, this premises has been in my head for what feels like an eternity now…

Now it is a reality!

The Eskae Jeweller Studio started out as an empty shell of a unit, I remember spending hours on end with my wife Sharisse and a piece of graph paper drawing the layout to scale, and as you can see, although it is a video taken about half way through the build, you can see it was really starting to take shape.

Going through this process has been an incredible journey. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is considering taking the leap into their own business -

- it is draining

- it is taxing

- it consumes more time than you think it will

- it does everything that everyone has every told you it will…

BUT……..

There is one thing to remember – that is – at the end of the day, this business is mine (or yours!) and it is worth every second of grief and trying that you go through to get it to this point in time. I take 10 seconds at the end of everyday when I am locking up to just take a look at my place and feel the gratitude that I have had fantastic people around me to help with this at every stage.

My beautiful wife has been there every step of the way taking care of everything else so I could focus on getting the Eskae Jewellery Studio up and ready, my parents for believing in my vision and dream of running and owning my own business, and for keeping me in check when things could have gotten out of hand, my in-laws for the same.

There is one special mention too, a very BIG thank you to Marc Dussault and his Platinum Program for helping me create a business that was ready to move out of my garage at home and into its own CBD premises, words dont really do justice to the amount of help you and Exponential Programs have been to me…
