CUSTOM CREATIONS
Our client came to us with a freeform diamond ring that held tremendous sentimental value. The piece featured heirloom diamonds collected from several family treasures, but its outdated design no longer reflected her personal style. As a result, the ring spent more time in her jewelry box than on her finger. Together, we envisioned a fresh new look that would honor the memories behind the diamonds while creating something she would truly love to wear. By incorporating elegant baguette diamonds into the design, we transformed the original ring into a sophisticated and modern right-hand ring that feels both timeless and uniquely hers. The result is a stunning piece that beautifully blends the past with the present. More importantly, it’s become a favorite in her collection. Since the day she picked it up, she hasn’t taken it off.
SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE FINAL DESIGN.
BUILDING AN HEIRLOOM
This custom ring was created from three cherished pieces of jewelry that held a lifetime of memories for our client. The ruby and opal gemstones came from rings that had been gifted to her by her late husband, while the emerald was from a ring her parents gave her when she was in her twenties. Rather than keeping these meaningful heirlooms separate, our client wanted to bring them together into a single piece that she could wear every day. We carefully designed a custom ring that united all three gemstones, preserving the sentimental value of each while creating something entirely new. The result is a beautiful one-of-a-kind ring that tells her story through every stone, honoring the love, family, and memories they represent. Seeing her reaction to the finished piece made the project especially rewarding, and she absolutely loved the final design.
THE JOURNEY FROM INSPIRATION TO A PIECE UNIQUELY YOUR OWN Before coming to fruition, a custom piece of jewelry exists as a want: the ring you can picture but can’t find, the necklace that would finally do justice to a stone your grandmother wore, the exact piece that would make a moment unforgettable. That initial desire is the framework. Everything else — the sketching, the CAD model, the waxing, casting, setting — is simply the process of making that feeling wearable. Something bought off the shelf is merely admired, but a piece built from your own sketch — with a treasured stone or the exact shade of blue you saw once and never forgot — is something you’ll cherish for a lifetime, one that remembers every hand it passed through before it reached yours. If you can describe it, sketch it, or simply gesture toward what you mean, we can build it.
SINCE THE DAY SHE PICKED IT UP, SHE HASN’T TAKEN IT OFF.
