Bespoke vs. Custom Jewelry Which Is Right for You?

Custom jewelry design is where my heart lights up—translating your story into wearable art through collaboration. Whether designing a bespoke engagement ring from scratch or reimagining an heirloom, I love creating pieces that feel like they were always meant to exist.

Pricing varies based on complexity
Perfect for: adding your twist to my collections, changing finishes or gemstones
*Starting prices are inclusive minimums covering both time and materials. Complex designs may require additional investment—we'll discuss pricing transparently during consultation.
Have heirloom stones? I'm happy to incorporate gems from your collection into either bespoke or custom designs. Stone removal: $100/hour (15-min increments). To ensure your gem's safety during removal, I work with harder stones—diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and spinel (Mohs 8+). Already have a loose gemstone or something softer? Let's discuss options for your design.
I work in gold and sterling silver. I do not work in platinum.

Making a Memorial Pendant

Creating a mourning pendant to hold a mother's ashes - The final accent was her birthstone, a garnet at the piece's center. This is the work I'm most honored to do: transforming grief into something you can cherish.
