Custom Design, Heirloom Restoration, Repairs and Appraisals

 

My work always begins with a consultation. Understanding what is most important to you and how you want your jewelry to look and feel is the foundation for everything that comes after.

Understanding what you want opens the design process. I use 35 years of experience working with metal and stone to render what you have told me is most important to you. The design process often includes discussions and sketches to completely develop your ideas. Often clients bring stones or metals from heirloom pieces that they would like to include in a new design. From this stage, I usually fashion wax carvings that model exactly what you have in mind and help you see the piece in three dimensions. Once your design is fixed I begin crafting a unique piece of jewelry just for you.

In every piece of jewelry I make, I promise to put my years of experience and a desire to create a unique and wonderful piece to work just for you. Casting, shaping, setting stones and polishing are the secrets of my craft. The craftsmanship emerges from using these skills to fashion metal and stone into exactly what you imagined: a distinct, unique piece of fine custom jewelry.
