In today’s jewelry market, the person who makes your setting is not the person who sets your stones, and probably isn’t the person who chose the stones for that setting. We have the unique ability to bring the entire process together, from start to finish, which results in a finished product of unsurpassed exactness and quality.
The majority of work you find in the marketplace is cast into a form. Every piece we make is hand-formed and separately polished and assembled with care and precision, resulting in a level of sparkle, brilliance, and density that you won’t see in ordinary commercial pieces.
We don’t use commercial quality stones. We source only the best stones for our store and custom designed jewelry, and we use ideal-cut stones that are GIA certified to ensure quality.
Why do we go through so much effort?
We believe that the attention to detail and the craftsmanship that goes into every piece we make will result in an exquisite piece of jewelry to have for a lifetime.
