      FINE STERLING SILVER

      The Making of Our Silver

      Meet the Artisans Who Create Our Unique Handmade Jewelry.

      ONE-OF-A-KIND FINE STERLING SILVER


      Fine is Our Quality Stamp of Approval

      We don't use the word Fine in our Sterling Silver collections just for kicks. It really is Fine Sterling Silver. Charles Albert uses the highest grade of silver in all of his collections. All of our pieces are .950 silver, containing 95% pure silver and 5% copper for strength.


      From Silver Pellets to Fine Sterling Silver

      Our silver begins as small silver pellets. These precious, premium pellets are then melted down and pressed into long silver sheets. The sheets are then cut into strips that will later be tailored to the uniqueness of each stone, fossil or mineral. When heated the silver becomes malleable enough for our skilled artisans to manipulate into the design Charles Albert designated per each individual stone. If necessary a silver counter bezel is then placed inside the silver casing to hold the stones in place.

      Next, thicker sheets of silver are created to make bales which are used for pendants and bands for adjustable rings. You can be assured each piece is set firmly in place by the most experienced hands.

      At the final stage, once the stone is secured inside the silver bezel, it is polished, cleaned and made ready for sale. From start to finish, our jewelry making process is done completely by hand, by expert artisans dedicated to their craft. For instance a single finished necklace can take up to a month to create. But, on average our pieces take between 8-12 weeks to produce.


      Grade A Artisans

      Without the practiced and dedicated Taxco, Mexico artisans on our team we could not produce the unique handmade jewelry you have come to trust. Because of our superior artisans, we have been producing Charles Albert Fine Sterling Silver since 1998 and will continue to provide the jewelry that keeps you unique.
