CUSTOM DESIGN
Collaborating on jewelry design is always a fun and rewarding challenge. Developing the design, deciding on the production techniques, and working out the design details with a client is a process I enjoy. Most of the time the finished creation exceeds expectations and everybody is happy!
When a design needs to be cast, I hand carve the wax model and we then review it and the gemstone placement so there are no surprises. The wax model can be modified until it is just right and then I cast, finish and set the gems.
Whether using a family heirloom gem, restyling a wedding ring, or starting from scratch - custom designing a new piece is a great way to update your jewelry style.
This heirloom star sapphire is set in a custom modern halo with a flaring shank and two tone 18ky and 14kw gold.
The blue material is the carving wax that I hand carved the model from.
