Design With Elizabeth Ann

Jewelry is more than just an accessory; it’s a story. I believe your jewelry should be as unique as the moments it celebrates. At EatMetal, I create one-of-a-kind art jewelry designed to honor life’s most meaningful chapters—from engagements and new arrivals to anniversaries and heartfelt tributes.

Whether we are starting from a spark of an idea or breathing new life into inherited gemstones through an heirloom redesign, the process is a true collaboration.

Partnering with reputable gemologist’s and importer’s, I combine fine materials with expert craftsmanship to turn your vision into a wearable masterpiece. There is nothing I love more than watching a concept come to life and sharing that joy with my clients.

Heirloom Redesign

Honor the memory.  Wear the Story. Just because you no longer wear the style doesn't mean you’ve lost the connection. Whether it’s a family heirloom, a single "lost" earring, or an old wedding band, these pieces carry stories that deserve to be seen—not tucked away in a jewelry box.

We breathe new life into your past. From resetting vintage diamonds into modern silhouettes to transforming a lone earring into a signature necklace, we ensure your jewelry stays exactly where it belongs: with you.

Easy As 1-2-3-4-5-6-7.

Designing your jewelry together at EatMetal Studio lets you collaborate and converse to explore your vision and the story you want to tell

Step One

Our process begins with a conversation to explore your vision and the story you want this piece to tell. Whether you have a solid plan or just a spark of an idea, I love collaborating with clients to turn their vision into a reality.

Step Two

A comprehensive proposal is created just for you. This allows you to fully understand the process and costs.

Step Three

We start with hand-drawn sketches, refining the design together until it matches your vision perfectly.

Step Four

To ensure the highest quality for your design, any supplemental stones or materials are sourced exclusively through certified gemologists and reputable importers. This guarantees that every addition to your piece meets rigorous standards for excellence and authenticity.

CAD 3D modeling jewelry design can be used depending on the complexity of the design. Jewelry is cast into gold on final approval.

Step Five

Depending on the complexity of your design, we utilize either advanced 3D CAD technology or traditional hand-fabrication techniques. Regardless of the method, the design is never moved into the metal or casting phase without your final approval, ensuring total confidence in the finished piece.

Step Six

Whether cast in metal or hand-fabricated, every piece is finished to the highest industry standards. We hand-set each gemstone for maximum security and beauty, completing the process with custom polishing and finishing tailored to your design’s unique aesthetic.
