Description

Custom orders We specialize in making special, often one of a kind pieces for our customers. This process begins with dialog between our customer and ourselves to gain an understanding of the sort of design our customer wants as well as insight into the sort of things that our client likes and dislikes.

We will ask for a deposit to begin work on a wax or drawing. We frequently start with a wax because ideas and the design flow along with the sculpting of the wax to morph into creations that sometimes even surprise us as the design develops. Once we have a design in wax that is ready, we contact our customer and attach an image of it for their feedback. We then make any changes that our customer wants and send a final image or images of the piece for approval. We then make the piece in gold or silver and send it out after we receive the final payment.

During the renaissance the art of jewelry making was considered the “Queen of the Arts.” Sculptors, painters, and other artists apprenticed with a jeweler before branching off to pursue their own form of artistic expression because a jeweler had to be proficient in all of the arts in order to design and create jewelry. This is how we think of the art of jewelry making. We design pieces that we hope will surprise and delight our customers on our own as well as making custom pieces to fulfill a customer's dreams.
