In this century if you want an item handcrafted by an American artisan, you will have a long search before you find an artist who puts thought and care into each creation.   Aquarius Custom Jewellery, now offering their unique crafts online, is owned and operated by such an artist.  For over twenty years, Brian McIlwee has researched the properties of the gems, crystals and stones used in jewellery making.  From the historical Lapis mines of the Kokcha Valley, to the treasured Amethysts of Minoan Crete; Brian has gathered and studied gemstone lore.  With the rich Malachite sources of ancient Egypt as the starting point, Aquarius Custom Jewellery has traveled through mankind’s blink in geological time working with collections of Baltic Amber from the old world and polished blue turquoise from the new.

Each piece of jewellery is individually handcrafted with human lore in mind.  Minerals and gems have been important to humans since the dawn of time, with jewellery first evolving so we humans could carry our particular talismanic amulet stones with us.  Aquarius Custom Jewellery provides us with an insight to the history or folklore associated with each item. Aquarius Custom Jewellery is committed to crafting fine, original, wearable art for men and women.  Using crystals, gemstones, glass, metals and other materials in harmonic balance, a healthful wearing experience is created.

You will find all items on the website are one of a kind; if you do not want to wait six to eight weeks for your design, you can still bump your style with an original piece.  Once an item is sold, it is gone, so a fashion savvy shopper would be advised to purchase what they want immediately. Although multiple items are crafted from the same batches of materials, each item at Aquarius Custom Jewellery is individually designed and executed by the artist himself. When you purchase a piece from Aquarius you are gaining a piece of wearable art handmade by an American craftsman.
