New to the world of jewelry? Do not worry, we are here to help. A beautiful piece does not need to break the bank, and we are not afraid to get creative to give you the piece you have been dreaming of.
It matters to us that you know how a piece will fit into your life or the life of your loved one. Some materials and styles are better suited to some lifestyles than others, and each occasion comes with its own little-known customs.
We look at this from two angles: event and lifestyle. Consider this your crash course.
By event
Anniversary + Vow Renewal
Do not settle for picking a ring out of a catalog. Give your loved one a piece as unique as they are. We can create something completely new, or repurpose an older piece to preserve its meaning and revitalize its look.
Certain materials correspond to certain anniversaries: five years is traditionally marked with sapphire, three years with pearls. We would be happy to walk through the whole list.
Bridal + Wedding
Ladies, you only need to worry about his wedding band, and we can help. He will wear it for the rest of his life, so put some thought into it.
Men, your job is more complicated: two rings. The engagement ring traditionally includes a diamond; the wedding band completes the set. It is highly advisable that they be purchased and coordinated together.
Birthdays
A birthday deserves a thoughtful, highly personal expression of your appreciation. A custom piece does not need to break the bank; we work hard to keep our work cost-flexible, with a variety of materials to create the piece you want for the price you want.
Holidays + More
Custom jewelry is not limited to weddings and anniversaries. Recent examples include Christmas, Hanukkah, Bat Mitzvahs, Quinceañeras and more. Our jewelers can actualize pretty much anything you can imagine.
By lifestyle
A great piece is not just decorative; it must complement how the wearer lives. What does the wearer do with their hands every day?
Formal + Special Events
Engagement rings, right-hand rings, the earrings only worn on special occasions, your finest pearl necklace. This is the fine china of jewelry.
Know the aesthetic of the person who will wear it. Bright, sparkling diamonds, or the classic dignified look of pearls? Each material makes a statement on behalf of the wearer, and we can help you choose your words.
Everyday Use
The wedding band is the poster child, but we have also made pendants, necklaces, earrings and bracelets designed to endure daily wear. Everyday pieces need to be understated and unobtrusive without compromising beauty, and above all sturdy.
Ask us which materials lend themselves to durability and how we deliver the look you want.
Jewelry That Works As Hard As You Do
Some jobs put fine jewelry in harm’s way, or have jewelry-specific limitations. Doctors and nurses who wear rings with stones often benefit from stones cut a particular way so the rings do not rip through gloves.
We are used to working within narrow stipulations to create something beautiful, and we would be happy to talk about the piece you have been dreaming of.
