I used heirloom gemstones to create this one-of-a-kind ruby and diamond engagement ring. The pear ruby sits at a jaunty angle, and the tine bead-set diamonds weave down each side of the ring This was such a fun custom project, and even more special because it's for my besties. Congratulations, Pat and Rosie!! About this ring, Rosie said "I couldn't be happier with my ring! It turned out elegant and unique just as I wanted!! I loved being able to repurpose family stones and give them a second life. I'm already looking forward to designing my custom wedding band! Thanks so much Christine....

I think nature is endlessly inspiring for my jewelry. You can take a peek at more custom projects inspired by nature here and here.

My very favorite necklace: a piece that celebrates my son, Michael. One of his sweetest and oft repeated phrases as a toddler was “See the moon?”.

The back of this pendant features a lock of Michael’s baby curls. After his first haircut, I had tucked a few locks of hair away in an envelope and wanted to place them somewhere I’d see them more often. This ended up being the perfect keepsake to display his baby curls. I...

I've been working on making some new one-of-a-kind pieces! I'm making Tahitian baroque pearl pendants in 18kt yellow gold, with sterling silver and blackened silver chains. I think these will be perfect for layering with paperclip chains, which I've been obsessed with for several years.
