Wearing a piece of custom jewelry is like enjoying a gourmet cake baked completely from scratch — with only your favorite flavors and colors of icing! The 14mm Wrinkle Ring with Emerald Crystal (shown at right) is a wonderful example of how these ingredients can blend for an awe-inspiring result.
Custom design is accessible, affordable, and personal. We can incorporate jewelry you already own (or gems or loose pieces) or we can start with pencil and paper and go from there... whatever the occasion, whatever the reason... the result will be your own conversation peice.

Evolution of a custom design - The design process for this conversation piece (shown below) centered around this fabulous 22.75 ct citrine acquired at one of our Gem Roundtable events. Using computer modeling and custom design software, the final design features a border of 1.35 tcw green Montana sapphires in 18k gold.

Evolution of a custom ring — Customer's peridot with .65 tcw G-H VS diamonds, set in 14k white gold — note the "before" and "after" effects of rhodium plating 14k white gold. White gold is naturally "warm". Rhodium plating gives it a "white white". It's a matter of choice.
