Inspiration

People often ask me what the source of inspiration is for my designs. The inspiration for many of my creations comes from the environment surrounding me. I strive to create a piece of jewellery that has a balance of both function and natural beauty. In designing each piece I like to encompass the feelings and experiences that have affected me personally. The pure stillness of a morning lake, the vigorous rush of river waters, the astounding beauty in the silhouette of a tree amidst a winter’s storm or the sense of awe found in a star lit night. I see the beauty of nature and our surroundings in the smallest of details and try to bring this to life in forms of wearable art. Jewellery has always been a basic art form. As humans the need for individuality is essential and jewellery provides us with a means to express this. I hope that each piece I create will capture a special moment in time for each person who wears my jewellery so they will forever be reminded of that special time or feeling.

Life consists of memories we share together and I hope that my jewellery creations will symbolize those special moments for a lifetime.  Ralph E Schroetter GG., FGA.

 Silver Box Pendants  
This is one of many box style pendants that Ralph Schroetter has designed and made in the past. Ask Ralph to design one for you today.PDesignCFPendat_1.jpg

One of my clients said that she could not design anything so I asked her to show me how she signs her initials. I gave her a plate of silver and away she went.  This lady also likes to play the Blazing 7's slot machines so I decided to make her a good luck charm pendant to wear when she plays at the Casino. 

If you look closely at this pendant you can see the letter "CF", as she would sign them, floating over a 24 kt gold plated box. If you look closely at the silver box you will see the "7's" randomly stamped into the back ground.

Each of these silver box pendants tells a small story about the person I make them for. Each one is different. No two, like people, are ever alike.

To start the process of making one of these personalized pendants, I start with an interview with the client to learn a little bit about them ie. where they work, how they dress, when and where they intend on wearing the piece of art that I will create for them. What is their favorite colour and shape?  What is their happiest memory?  What are their dreams?  Do they have any great plans for the future?  Each interview is very personal but this allows me to develop a better understanding of my client's needs and desires.
After the interview I develop a drawing to go by, to give a very general idea of the finished piece although most clients give me full artistic license to come up with something very special just for them. Suprise me, excite me, enchant me, make my dream come true. It is always very interesting to see what develops.

My clients are my greatest source of inspiration as they share with me interesting details of their lives that they want incorporated into a finished piece of art made truly just for them. 

Life is but the memories we make and the people we touch.

Looking closely you can see that the letters have been folded around the outside of this box pendant. With the letter f actually appearing on the opposite side of the box.


These are the initials that were first drawn onto a sheet of silver. Ralph used this drawing as a starting point for the final idea.

Finally Good News!

Good things happen to good people!

I have always believed that good things happen to good people. Why? Because good people go the extra mile, rendering more and better service than that for which they are compensated for and sooner or later they will receive compound interest on compound interest for their time. 

So why do I tell you all this? Well I received a phone call the other day thanking me for making this lovely pendant, from the lady whom it was given to.  The next day after she started wearing it and also the first time she went to the Casino with it on, she could not stop winning. "CF" told me that nearly every machine she played on paid out. She left the Casino up $400.00 dollars and had a great time playing!  I told her that I believed that this pendant will bring her great luck whenever she goes to the Casino.  Why do I believe this? I believe this lady is receiving compound interest on compound interest for her kind efforts and time. This lady is in the process of editing this website for spelling errors out to the kindness of her heart and has offered to do so without the expectation of compensation. I didn't ask her to do it, she asked how she could help me.

Good things do happen to good people.

Money I can spend but time I invest, for sooner or later I will recieve compound interest on compound interest for my time.

I have two basic shapes that are the most popular, a square approximately 2 x 1.8 x 0.5 mm and a rectangle approximately 2.75 x 1.1 x 0.5 mm. Each pendant, due to my unique design can be worn in 4 different ways, creating four individual looks.

I can cast the background box in any colour and karat of gold, silver or platinum depending on design and budget. I try to use a combination of metals to give good defininition and colour contrast. In many cases I also set it with diamonds and different coloured stones.

Every custom piece of art is geared to your personal needs and budget.
 So Dream and Believe.
