Asymmetrical Snowflake Ring for Jill

Asymmetrical Snowflake Ring for Jill

Jill asked me for a unique snowflake ring that was fairly wide and would be super sparkly. I created an asymmetrical design for her, so this ring could be worn also or stacked easily with some of her other favorite rings. I incorporated tons of delicate details in the metal, and flush-set diamonds throughout the ring to give it extra sparkle.

Horse Inspired & Equestrian Wedding Rings

Lindsay loves horses and wanted equestrian jewelry for both her engagement ring and wedding ring, so we included classic horse tail braid and horseshoe filigree details in her rings (scroll down to the last picture to see what I designed).

The men's wedding ring has engraving in four...

Looking for a unique men's wedding ring in a precious metal like gold or platinum? Maybe the custom jewelry process is for you! For every custom project, I start with sketches and mock-ups in Rhino3D, then create realistic 3D renderings for my clients. We make changes if needed, then once the job is approved, I print wax models on a 3D printer, and then cast the custom wedding rings. This is an intriguing, unique process that very few men take advantage of (most of my custom projects are engagement rings!). So, if you're looking for a unique men's platinum ring...

In Progress with the Mini Moon Earrings

In Progress with the Mini Moon Earrings

I made new mini moon and star stud earrings for La Festa Natale craft show this past December. I also made some moon pendants using a sheet of sterling silver I etched many moons ago. It was a really nice change of pace to get some time at my bench. Sawing, filing, hammering, and polishing are immersive, and it's so relaxing to get in the zone while creating. I made a limited number of pieces, and they sold out so fast that I only took a few progress pictures. When I make more, I'll list them in my online shop!...
