Blog — one-of-a-kind

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 created this custom wedding band to match Katelyn's custom marquise engagement ring. Both rings have an organic, vine-like woven shank with little knob and knot details to suggest a tree branch. I think nature is endlessly inspiring for my jewelry. You can take a peek at more custom projects inspired by nature here and here.

A few years ago, I made custom plugs for my friend Alastair. This year I made him a matching custom septum ring in sterling silver. It includes some elements from his earrings, but on a smaller scale. Now he has a complete, one-of-a-kind jewelry look for everyday wear. Love it!

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.
