Commemorative Rubenstein Forum Miniature in Silver
This was a commission to create a sterling silver desk sculpture in the likeness of the David Rubenstein Forum building in Chicago.
Shirt studs for formal wear
Sometimes you have to go big! These handsome shirt studs were made for a stylish man who needed something special for his formal wear.
Bracelet buckle
This is one of our very favorite pieces. We made a leather bracelet and put it together with a white gold mechanism and the diamonds from a customer’s old jewelry.
Art Deco Pendants
Art Deco is a design style that emerged in the mid-20th century, characterized by a distinctive form and approach that has a fascinating appeal.
Custom Baton for the Evanston Symphony
We made this baton for the 75th anniversary of the Evanston Symphony Orchestra. The pattern on the baton is the literal conductor’ music from the first piece of the concert they played that performance.
Cufflinks with floral patterns
These cufflinks feature patterns inspired by ancient Japanese clan symbols. The floral design is striking and made even more so with an oxidized silver background.
Carved Emerald Drop earrings
The carvings in these earrings are accented with shapes that amplify the unusual nature of the drop elements and balance the forms to create elegant drop earrings.
Carved Jade and orange sapphire earrings
These unusual Jade carvings called out to be made into drop earrings. The orange sapphires accent the jade beautifully and add just the right color accent to the carvings.
Snow flake earrings
These earrings feature blue moonstones and diamonds in an articulated drop earring design. The design is meant to channel snow flakes falling from the sky.
Dragon carving
This ring was made with an intaglio carving of a dragon in carnelian so of course we had to make a dragon skin band to set it in.
Carved Antler Earrings
We found these carvings and used them to make a sun and moon motif. The faces are so expressive and wonderfully unusual.
Dragonfly pin
This was a very fun custom order that we made using a dragonfly motif and adding birthstones from the family.
Emerald Cabochon Ring
We discovered an innovative solution for working with seemingly “flat” emeralds. By flipping the gems and setting them upside down, we added an unexpected element to the design.
Fireworks Earrings
We made these earrings based on our fireworks concept as a custom order using the customer’s different shape diamonds. What fun!
Secret Garden Statement Ring
This ring was made with an exceptional customer in mind. This ring rocks!
Funky Diamond Bracelet
Diamond bracelets don’t have to be traditional or formal. This bracelet is a unique creation that pops with brilliance and irreverent imagination.
Cameo Earrings
A customer came to us with 2 unique cameos which she wanted to convert into earrings. These cameos were not the traditional ones. After carefully examining them, we decided to take inspiration from the colors in the cameos and incorporate an element of asymmetry to give them a modern and trendy look.
Diamond Pendant
One of our customers brought us a bunch of stones to repurpose into a necklace. It was pretty much a hot mess of gold and diamonds. We came up with this pendant which is just so cool.
Locket Engraving
We made a locket for one of our favorite customers and engraved a romantic phrase on the back. Do you know what it says?
Sun and Moon 2 part Pendant
The pendant is designed in two parts – one for the bride and one for the groom. When interlocked, they form a circle inspired by the symbols of the sun and moon..
