An improved method of constructing jewelry and other ornamental items in which the wall construction is significantly reduced due to internal envelopes or packets of pressurized gas. The packets of pressurized gas provide structural support for the surrounding walls permitting the walls to be thinner than the prior art. Manufacture of the jewelry is accomplished by creating the envelopes and sealing them either in raised pressure environment or later. Pressurization of an envelope is accomplished through different methodologies including: the insertion of a needle through the envelope's wall, pressurization of the interior of the envelope, removal of the needle, and then sealing of the hole created by the needle; through the use of pressurized spheres which are placed within the envelope during manufacture and then rupturing of the pressurized spheres after the envelope has been sealed; or using and then sealing a channel for pressurizing the internal envelope.
