My passion lies in making a piece of jewelry that is not only beautiful, but truly personal and designed just for YOU. I create one-of-a-kind art jewelry that make life’s greatest occasions special. Birthdays, engagements, weddings, anniversaries and new babies are just a few. One of my specialties is heirloom redesign where I take inherited or vintage gemstones and create a brand new custom piece of jewelry. I can work from a solid vision or just a thought. I love to collaborate with my clients to make their vision a reality. I can repurpose old jewelry by recycling materials or start from scratch. I partner with a GIA certified gemologist and can provide the finest colored stones and diamonds. My favorite part is watching these pieces go from concept to reality. It gives me such pleasure to go through this process with my clients. Here are some examples of my custom pieces:

Repurposing Jewelry
New style for the old style.
When a piece of jewelry sits in your jewelry box because you no longer connect to the style doesn’t mean that the meaning and connection you have goes away.
Or maybe you have a family heirloom, an old wedding ring, or a lost earring. These pieces of jewelry have a sentimental value that can not be measured. You can not bring your self to get rid of them. There is no reason why theses should not be seen. I believe that these pieces enter your life for a reason and belong to stay there and be seen.
You can use old diamonds in a new piece of jewelry, to redesign wedding rings, convert the single earring into a ring or a necklace or a ring into more.
