A Word About Pricing...
There is a common assumption that custom made jewelry will cost more than off
the rack items, and sometimes that's true.
However usually we can produce a top quality, beautiful and stylish custom Ring for less than most stores
can sell an item of similar quality.
Why? While a large, factory shop can
mass produce for 10-20% lower labor costs than us, they sell that item to a store or web site
that will mark it up from 50% to 150% to cover their own costs, marketing, profits etc. Also, inventory costs can eat a business alive.
We
make that ring for you, to your style and taste, and sell it to you with no extra markup.
Compare apples to apples ( Our detail work is done under 10x Microscopes, so each piece is finished out wonderfully) and you will see that Made to Order made can be less expensive that buying off the Rack.
There are no giant factories making the highest quality jewelry like we create.
The best work is done in small shops no larger than ours, often far smaller.
Many well known designers have their pieces made in surprisingly small shops,
so we are actually fairly large and efficient compared to our peers.

We Read Minds...
We love jewelry and enjoy spending time designing new and unusual pieces. We
have thousands of photos of pieces that we've made in our Portfolio Online.
We also have select examples of our quality,
handcrafted jewelry in stock.
We Design by sketching ideas and/or creating
photo-realistic CAD renderings to help you visualize your new ring, and we
strive to make each piece a new adventure.
Try out your ideas on us, it's Fun!
Modern Tools...
Our shop is
state of the art. For example, each of our
stone setters, hand engravers and filigree artists has a personal bench
microscope for the finest detailed work.
We also use one of the finest casting
machines made - the Galloni Fusus New HD. We were the second shop in America
(after Tiffany & Co.) to install one.
Although the mind and hand of an artist create each new design, modern
techniques help to perfect the manufacturing of fine jewelry.
We use the world's
finest jewelry CAD/CAM software, Gemvision's Matrix, to create perfect symmetry
on our master models for most custom pieces.
Following the machine
work, skilled craftsmen work carefully to hand detail each wax model before
client approval and casting.
Ancient Techniques...
We combine these modern tools with the time-tested techniques of hand crafting
fine jewelry one piece at a time.
Our custom pieces are created individually,
not in massive batches of 100's of identical pieces.
We carve waxes, cast, hand
fabricate, hand engrave and carefully match and hand set the stones in our
jewelry right here in our Seattle workshop.
 Ask a Friend...
Word of mouth is the best advertising, and we are proud that most of our
clients are referrals from satisfied customers.
In the Seattle area, ask a friend, chances are they know someone who have had
their jewelry made in our shop!
For non-Seattleites, look through our gallery of custom designs for samples of
the thousands of pieces we have created. Then, call or e-mail us and we will
work with you via our Unique Online Personal Design pages to create your own unique piece of
wearable art!
Our Custom Designed engagement rings, Micro Pave rings, Custom Wedding Bands, Hand Engraved rings, Filigree rings and Antique Engagement ring styles are of the very highest Quality in material, Workmanship and Design.
