Your Destination for Unique Custom Jewelry
We specialize in creating custom engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, necklaces, and more. We guide you through a collaborative process from the initial concept to the final design. Each step is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. We invite you to visit our studio to explore our designs, get to know each other, and begin bringing your ideas to life.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
The first step of our custom design process is meeting together. We’ll get a better understanding of your goals and requirements and begin sketching out ideas. Once we’ve agreed on vision, we create a 3D CAD design to give you a realistic representation and begin sourcing quality gemstones. As a final step, our goldsmiths cast the design and set your ring.
