Fitted Wedding Band

There is a trick to making them fit right.

The finished product

Peridot Pendant

Another hand fabricated pendant, done about the same time as the citrine one mentioned several post earlier.

Omega Attached Pendant

Initial carving from customers rough sketch. I worked in an oval stone she had, but never thought to add.

Pendant after casting, setting, and polishing.

Circle of Life Pendant

Made using customers stones. Hand carved wax, cast in 14k white gold.

Cathedral 3 Stone Ring

Hand fabricated to match the customers existing ring.

Inlaid Onyx Cross

I am very excited about this piece. I have been working on it for about a month now, waiting for the Lapidary to finish the cutting.

I ended up having to do the stone cutting myself, it’s been one of the hardest jobs I have had to date.

Fabrication

This is a citrine piece I did years ago, shortly after returning from the Revere Acadamy in San Fran. Metal fabrication in my opinion is the most rewarding work I can do. I guess I need to get back at it!

Checker Board

I did this quite a while ago, but I keep coming back to the picture remembering how much I liked it. I am told it has been lost, and its recipient was not getting any more custom jewelry for a while.. :-)

My Ring on CNN

My friend Dave Shayman (aka Disco D) was interviewed on CNN last week. He was nice enough to be wearing the ring I made him bearing his logo! Thanks D, even though I was about the only one that would notice…

“Just like that one”

Often a customer comes in with a handfull of rings, and says “I want to take all these, and make a ring just like that one” It’s rare when the stones in their rings combine to be able to pull it off, but sometimes, just sometimes, it works.
