Michelangelo believed that within every block of uncut marble a beautiful statue was waiting to be released.  It was the sculptor's duty to free the statue from its stony confines.


At Bijoux Extraordinaire,  we believe that every beautiful gemstone is the beginning of an extraordinary jewel.  As jewelry designers,  it is our task to help you discover the beautiful ring or jewel awaiting within a gemstone.  In this spirit we have created a collection of imaginative jewels  - the Bijoux Originals -  to celebrate the natural beauty of fine and exotic gemstones.


The gemstones featured in the Bijoux Original collection were chosen for their fineness and beauty.   Each gemstone reflects the beauty of nature and the artistry of a master gem cutter.  Whether we are creating a ring with an ideally proportioned diamond or a pendant with an asymmetrical slice of Rainbow Hematite,  we only work with gemstones of the finest color,  cut and quality.
