    Jackie with WestGroveDesign was absolutely wonderful to work with! She made my fiancé’s wedding ring with the Appalachian Trail on it and it’s perfect! She worked with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted, and the handwritten note she included was a beautiful touch. I will definitely order from her again!

    Jackie was incredibly helpful in crafting exactly the Mt. Rainier Pendent I was looking for. She answered every question and offered considerate advice on customizing the piece to include my girlfriend and I's initials. My girlfriend loved this for our two year anniversary, and her being from Washington state figured out which peak this was without any hints or maps!

    If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I would! Jackie made a custom design for me of one of my favorite waterfalls, and it is so gorgeous. I also ordered one of the designs that was already in her shop, and it is even prettier in real life than in the photo. Both pieces really capture the essence of the places they depict. On top of it all, Jackie was extremely easy to work with, responded to all of my messages quickly, and she packed everything in cute little boxes with a sweet handwritten note. I will definitely be ordering from her again the next time that I need a really special gift for someone!!

    The shop is great, the designs & execution are awesome, & Jackie is a joy to work with. She did a custom design for me, gave me several options, let me tweak details, and her skilled eye kept the composition harmonious. Flawless metalwork, quality material, & the turn-around time for brainstorming, design iteration, execution, & delivery was outstanding.
    P.S. The designs' topographical, abstract, gradient, & asymmetrical style is very fascinating.

  • My garage metalshop
  • After tracing the map on the computer it has to be printed and applied to the sheet metal so I know where to saw.
  • This is what it means to be hand-cut, sawing out each detailed layer with my trusty jewelers saw.
  • These are the freshly hand sawn layers of Lake Michigan, ready for fusing into a statement pendant!
  • Sawing the layers for my Grand Canyon series

I want to make you a treasure of your favorite adventures.

We all have places that have a special pull and a special meaning to us. Let's make your favorite spot into a piece of jewelry that you can wear every day. If you love being outdoors, exploring new places, have a cabin on a lake, live at the foot of a mountain, take road trips every year, or just have a special place in mind, I want to make it for you!  Each and every piece is designed, hand cut (not lasered!), fused, and finished by me.

Custom requests are what I love working on, please contact me with questions or to order your own favorite place.

Thanks for stopping by!
