Your Path to Unique, Custom-Made Jewelry

Jewelry Making Process, Christopher Sketching

After sketching your design, we use our knowledge and industry relationships to source the perfect gemstones to match. We then generate computer-aided designs (CAD) for you to approve. These high-resolution, photorealistic renderings allow for easy adjustments and edits throughout the process. Once the CAD rendering is finalized, we move on to the casting process and bring your custom jewelry to life.
