Path A: Original Custom Pieces
Consultation & Design
We discuss your vision, milestone timeline, and aesthetic preferences, developing hand-sketches or CAD renderings to map out the piece.
Stone Curation & Sourcing
We source exceptional, earth-mined stones (such as diamonds, sapphires, spinels, or tsavorites) from our trusted, ethical global network.
Bench Execution
Forged, cast, and hand-finished with absolute metallurgical transparency and rigorous hand-setting.
Archival Presentation
Delivered in custom packaging complete with gemological documentation and provenance records.
Redesigning your unworn family pieces and setting your inherited stones into a modern, meaningful new piece.
Path B: Heirloom Redesigns

A careful technical review of your heirloom pieces (in studio or via video) to evaluate stone stability and metal weights.
II. Architectural Adaptation
Translating your family’s history into a modern design, preserving the atomic identity of your gold and the character of your stones.
III. Foundry & Re-alloying
Refining your legacy gold within our domestic foundry network so your family’s physical gold is directly integrated into the new piece.
IV. Heirloom Delivery
Presented with complete documentation and appraisal records for your family archive.
Working with Your Metal & Stones
The Circular Atelier & Material Integrity
Your Family Gold
If you have old jewelry you no longer wear, we can melt down and refine your legacy gold to build your new piece. It keeps your family history physically intact while ensuring zero reliance on newly mined metal. If you prefer, we can also apply the value of your old gold as a credit toward your commission.
Ethical Stone Sourcing
We specialize in carefully unsetting stones from old mountings without damaging them. For brand-new custom pieces, I source exclusively from trusted suppliers who provide earth-mined gems with documented, responsible origins. We do not use lab-grown synthetics, because a true heirloom deserves genuine geological permanence.

Frequently Asked Questions
We start with a free 20-minute chat. To move into sketches and design work, there is a $250 design retainer that applies directly toward your piece. From there, a 50% deposit begins the bench work, with the balance due when it's finished.
Most custom pieces take about 3 to 4 weeks to design, source, and hand-finish at the bench. We'll set a firm timeline before we begin.
Yes, absolutely. Breathing new life into heirloom pieces is one of my favorite parts of being a goldsmith.
The studio is a private working space rather than a retail storefront, but I always welcome clients by appointment for private consultations.
No. I work exclusively with earth-mined, natural gemstones that hold real long-term value and history.
Because every piece is custom-made just for you, bespoke sales are final once production begins. I make sure we are completely aligned on the design before any metal is cut.
No problem at all. We usually aim for a standard baseline size (like a 6 or 7) and adjust it with precision after the reveal.
