Christopher Duquet’s award-winning artisans blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design to create your perfect piece. Our collaborative approach begins with an in-depth consultation where we discuss your preferences, budget, and timeline while sketching initial concepts together. Every custom piece reflects our dedication to excellence—from selecting carefully sourced gemstones to hand-finishing each intricate detail.
Your Destination for Unique Custom Jewelry
Whether you’re drawn to classic elegance, contemporary features, or have your own personal style; our team guides you through each phase of creation, ensuring your custom piece tells your unique story.
