5 out of 5 starsI couldn't have asked for a better purchase, from begining to end! I now own two custom bands that perfectly match/compliment my wedding ring. The price was more than fair (especially for a custom item) and the seller was so communicative and knowledgeable. I was so shocked how she was able to work from a provided photo and create such perfection. My expectations were exceeded along with the time it took to make and ship my order. I couldn't be any happier and I will be in contact for any of my future needs, hand down best of the best. Plus I love knowing I ordered from a smaller company, rather than adding riches to a cooperation/large company. Small companies seem to still care about the customers wants and needs.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a fabulous 14k gold charm that I plan to wear every day to show my love for dogs. It’s a nice hefty piece… not flimsy at all like so many I’ve seen online. Delivery was quick, too, which I really appreciate!

5 out of 5 starsVery nice 👍!! I still need the right length chain that I want to show off the little but pretty nice diamond in it. I have been looking at A LOT of paw print charms but I liked this one the best! Love 💕 the high polish too! Thanks for great purchase!

5 out of 5 starsElaine modified one of her designs to fit a ring I already owned. Throughout the process, she was wonderfully helpful and made thoughtful suggestions. The ring turned out magnificently! I can't praise her enough and give her the strongest possible recommendation.

Sitting at my wax bench carving a new design. -
I start with a sketch prior to carving the wax. -
The wax is sprued to a base in preparation to lost wax casting. The metal cylinder will encase the wax to put in a kiln. -
I finalize the appearance of my designs in the finishing phase. The play of light is an integral component of my designs -
Once the jewelry art item is completed it and any gemstones are carefully inspected before it is presented to the client

Stone Setter
Santa Cruz, CA
I was referred to this stone setter by other Etsy sellers who are very happy with his work. My previous stone setter of many years is no longer able to work due to medical issues so I was delighted to receive this very helpful referral.

Stuller - Platinum Casting
Lafayette, LA
I send my wax design to them for platinum casting as it is a highly specialized process handled by a few. Upon receipt of the rough casting I then proceed through the many finishing steps. More durable then gold and silver due to its density. .
