The work
Character first. Jewelry always.
The ears, eyes, markings, or symbol need to read at a glance. Then the piece has to feel right, wear well, and hold up.
Symbols & stories
Emblems, companions, and memorial details, kept quiet or made the center of the piece.
Rings & pendants
Bands, statement rings, medallions, and charms sized for the way they'll actually be worn.

Detailed character work, stones, larger pieces, and gold or platinum are quoted after review. The material and design are priced together.
The $250 design fee is requested only after a project is accepted. It goes toward the finished piece.

Browse settings, stones, and familiar forms when you need a place to begin. Save what catches your eye. The custom piece still starts with your references.
Materials and details
The design leads. The metal follows.
Silver, gold, and platinum are all on the bench. The design, daily wear, and budget usually make the choice clear. Argentium or sterling silver works well for crisp detail, darkened recesses, and a bright, cool finish. The alloy depends on the design and how the piece will be made. Gold brings color and warmth. Platinum brings weight and a quiet white finish. Availability and pricing are confirmed with the quote.
How much does custom jewelry cost?
Simpler custom silver designs start at $900. Detailed sculptural work, stone settings, larger pieces, complex finishes, and gold or platinum are quoted after review.
When is payment required?
No payment is due to request a quote. Most accepted commissions require a $250 design fee. After sketch approval and the final quote, the remaining balance is due before CAD, materials, outside services, or production.
Will I approve the design?
Yes. You approve the sketch before the final quote and production. Meaningful visual changes are discussed before proceeding.
Who makes the jewelry?
I oversee design direction, communication, approvals, production planning, and final quality review. Established U.S.-based jewelry professionals may assist with specialized production work.
