Custom order samples:
Birth ring
A client requested a ring to represent her family. We discussed metals, finishes, and style. I suggested a two-tone ring of silver and 14kt gold. She loved the idea of incorporating texture. In order to not overpower the stones, I recommended a light hammered finish on the band. I choose 14kt tube settings to highlight the birthstones and give the ring a slightly modern feel.
Sterling silver, 14kt gold, amethyst, peridot, and white sapphire
Washer disk bangle
Falling in love with a bowl she discovered at a boutique, a client wondered if I could design a jewelry piece incorporating the same concept. After discussing the options between a necklace and a bracelet, I designed a bangle bracelet.
Sterling silver
Crazy Lace necklace
Needing a special necklace for a big event, a client was looking for a centerpiece to wear with her black dress. After discussing colors, I recommended using a crazy lace custom cabochon that would give her the color and incorporating a little of the black to bring in the dress. She loved texture, so I designed a frame and chain that brought out the best features of the cabochon.
Sterling silver, crazy lace, and black onyx
Spiderweb Turqoise pendant
This customer was looking for a fun and whimsical piece to represent her love of scuba diving. She didn't have any particular ideas or colors during our design session other than she wanted a pendant. I choose the spiderweb turqoise for it's color and decided to make the pendant convertible to a pin as well.
Sterling silver, spiderweb turqoise, and black onyx
Picasso Marble necklace
A friend of the client for the crazy lace necklace loved the Etruscan chain I created for the necklace, but wanted something a bit smaller. She mainly wore neutral colors in her wardrobe, so I suggested a Picasso marble jasper cabochon for it's neutral color palette. To keep it simple, I flush bezel set the stone and created a textured front closing toggle clasp.
