Custom Design is appropriate when the exactly right piece of jewelry, to commemorate a special event in your life, cannot be found. Sometimes a person knows exactly what they want other times they just have a feeling. We are excited to work with our clients to develop a design that fits both the occasion and their lifestyle. We work with all precious metals and have resources world wide for the finest gemstones and diamonds. Once the design process is complete it moves to our workshop where our metalsmiths will finely handcraft your special piece of jewelry.

Remodeling starts with your old jewelry and new idea. When jewelry is out of style it can be transformed into something completely different and unique. This process is often used when family jewelry is inherited and outdated. The wonderful thing about precious metal and gemstones is they can always be reused and turned into something beautiful. Sometimes a full remodeling isn’t necessary and just adding a little metal or a few new gems is all you need.

Stone Repair/ Replacement is available for damaged or missing gemstones in a piece of jewelry. Most chipped or broken stones can be recut or repolished to restore their original brilliance. We work directly with stone cutters and dealers, therefore, if the stone cannot be salvaged it can be replaced.
