“Weddings Ring”

April 7th, 2012 | Posted in Custom

My client calls this her “weddings ring” because the redesign I created repurposed the diamonds and metal from a couple of her wedding rings.

Here are a bit of the redesign details. I hand carved the sculptural design in wax and added details of tiny bead drops to give it an organic feel. After sending her old gold off to the refinery, I cast the new design in 14k peach gold. I featured the repurposed diamonds from her old wedding rings with a bead set style texture to compliment the bead drop design in the ring.

The result is pretty amazing and my client loves it! Makes me happy to have a happy client.

Peach Gold & Diamonds Cocktail Ring

June 5th, 2010 | Posted in Custom, Jewelry

This is a fancy, but also earthy cocktail ring. Sculpted in wax and  hand cast in peach gold with a sand blast finish. The small diamonds are bead set and the large diamond sits in a hand carved white gold bezel. The cut out center part of the ring was made from a button I’d found and made a mold of. All of the materials are repurposed from client’s old gold and diamonds.

Peach & Pink Gold

March 22nd, 2010 | Posted in Collections, Custom, Jewelry

I work with different types of gold and also reuse old gold from my clients. My favorite gold is peach- it has some copper in it like pink gold does, but not as much. It casts beautifully and is a warm and lovely hue, complimentary to almost anyone’s skin tone.

Peach Gold Antique Prong Ring with Rutilated Quartz
I’m amazed at this photo- the quartz looks like it’s alive with the tiny veins running through it.

Peach Gold Wedding Set with Bark Texture & Chocolate Diamonds
This piece is made for a client that’s been married for 10 years. Her original wedding set is platinum with a sapphire and tiny white diamonds. She wanted to warm it up a bit with both the warmth of the peach gold and chocolate diamonds and also the organic bark texture. She’s got 4 rings now that are all worn together for a nice mixed metal look.

Pink Gold Wedding Bands
Custom wedding bands with tiny white diamonds to look like the constellations. Bands go with a white gold engagement ring I designed with canary yellow and white diamonds.

Pink Gold Diamond Pendant with White Gold Cable Chain
I reworked and repurposed this piece for my client. The original diamond was a typical prong setting in white gold.
