Custom Monogram Pendant with Diamonds

Anita requested a custom monogram pendant for her birthday gift last year. We decided to go with sterling silver for the metal, accented with round brilliant diamonds, all attached to a dainty 16" chain. She wears this necklace almost every day! Monogram jewelry is classic and timeless, and has been trending again recently. Have you been thinking about finally treating yourself to a piece of custom monogram jewelry?

I Made Myself a Push Present!

I made myself a push present! This is an 18kt yellow gold ring with emerald, diamond and tanzanite (birthstones for my husband, myself, and our baby, Michael) set in bezels.

If you want to make a custom push present for yourself or your significant other,...

Taking Inspiration from Nature

My client and her fiancé both love the outdoors. They got engaged (with a unique, custom #christineoriginal engagement ring) while hiking at Big Bend National Park, and they plan on being married among the Redwoods (SO. ROMANTIC!).

Engraved Memorial Locket

My client's father passed away earlier this year. He wanted a piece of custom jewelry to give to his mother; a keepsake to keep her late husband close to her heart. We decided on a 14kt gold-filled locket with a delicate floral pattern on the front. Inside, two small, personal photographs fit. On the back, I engraved the words "Arise, my beloved, and come". Jewelry is almost always used to signify a major life event: births, birthdays, holidays, marriages, anniversaries, deaths. Jewelry speaks volumes, even when you don't have the words to voice your emotions. And it keeps our loved...
