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). When she and Matt were ready to order their custom matching wedding rings, they chose an engraved design that references a horse's braided mane. Horse braid jewelry is a whole category of jewelry for equestrians, and this platinum and diamond option for wedding rings is a more subtle reference to your love of horses. 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...

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!...

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....

This custom knife-edge pavé wedding ring was for a good friend of mine. She has a classic Tiffany solitaire engagement ring with a knife-edge shank and requested a pavé band to match. A knife-edge ring with pavé means there's actually two rows of diamonds on this ring - one on each side of the shank.  There's a small sizing bar at the bottom of her wedding ring, which I always recommend. Most people experience weight fluctuations or joint swelling at some point in their lifetime, so it's always a good idea to have a little room to adjust.
