Greetings!
We'vemade it through another holiday season--although, it's never too earlyto think about the next gift occasion, whether it be an anniversary,birthday or soon to arrive Valentine's Day. Creating a custom designedpiece of jewelry is a unique, personal present you'll be proud to giveor receive.
To bring your creation into being,we first decide on a design that suits your desires and needs. Workingtogether, we discuss the ideas you have. Perhaps your inspiration isfrom a picture you have found or a particular style you like. If you're not exactly sure what you want, we can help you through theprocess taking into account your lifestyle, tastes in jewelry, material(gemstones, diamonds, or pearls, for example) and budget. Once a design is chosen, the processbegins...
Creating gold jewelry takes time and craftsmanship through a processknown as "lost wax casting" using a wax model of the piece carved byhand. After the wax is shaped it is surrounded by a liquid moldingmaterial known as "investment." Once the investment hardens, the moldwith the wax inside, is placed in a kiln where the wax is "lost" byburning out at high temperature, leaving only a hollow replica of thewax model. Molten gold or platinum is then cast into where the wax used to be,hence the term "lost wax casting". Once cast, the jewelry is finishedby hand and the gems are set. Your custom jewelry has been created!
We'd like to invite you to see some of the premier design jewelry that we have created over the past 30 years. Sit back and enjoy these timeless masterpieces.
