Custom Design

We will design a piece for you or work with you to design your own unique creation.   We work in silver; yellow, white & rose gold; and platinum.  Custom jewelry is made by one of two methods:  Lost-Wax Casting or Fabrication.  Which process is used depends upon what you are trying to achieve.   Both processes begin with a sketch.  In some cases, the customer has an idea of what he or she is looking for and the goldsmith will refine the sketch.  In other cases, the customer is looking to the goldsmith to suggest a design.
