5 out of 5 starsThis is the pendant John designed for me to celebrate a big birthday in the same year as the anniversary of the moon landing….
No pictures or words can do this piece justice, it’s truly magnificent.
The weight, workmanship, beauty - I absolutely love it.
John was fantastic with constant correspondence and interaction during development. I really enjoyed the whole process and what an honour to have such a unique piece made so beautifully for me.
I look forward to engaging with John again some time for another classic piece!
I cannot thank you enough! -

5 out of 5 starsI purchsed this as a wedding ring for my fiance, who is a geologist. The moment he set eyes on the photos here, his heart was set. The ring itself is just gorgeous in person -- heavy, finely textured, beautifully organic. I think the photos here do it real justice. John was so easy to work with; even though I placed my order right around the holidays, he was highly responsive by email, and he even sent us custom ring sizers to ensure we ordered the right fit. Thank you John for the lovely work of art =)

Most of my pieces are done using lost wax casting, though some combine elements of fabrication. In lost wax casting the original design is carved out of wax, a mold is made of the wax using a special type of high-temperature plaster, and the wax is burned out of the plaster mold in a kiln. The gold is then cast into the plaster mold using centrifugal force in a centrifugal casting machine. After the casting is broken out of the mold, the metal is filed, sanded, buffed and polished. One of the last steps is setting any stones or doing any inlay work. While the casting mold is destroyed, I do make silicon molds of some of my designs so I can reproduce them. Some designs are consistently the same each time they are duplicated, such as the bands and inlaid pieces, while most of the designs with faceted stones vary to a greater or lesser extent depending on the size and shapes of the stones used each time they are reproduced.
