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!
CUSTOM DESIGN
RESTYLING FAMILY JEWELRY
Passed down from mother to daughter, family jewelry tells stories. The style may not be yours, but the sentiment is. I will collaborate with you to figure out how to bring your most treasured heirlooms into your current sense of style.
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.
