WHAT I OFFER
Custom Jewelry Fabrication
I offer handcrafted fabrication of rings, pendants, earrings, necklaces, and other jewelry pieces based on original concepts, references, or existing designs. Each piece can be developed and fabricated according to its desired form, structure, material, and functional requirements.
Jewelry Design & Development
I can develop an original concept or interpret an existing reference into a structurally feasible jewelry design. The process considers proportion, negative space, weight, strength, construction methods, and overall wearability.
Stone Setting & Setting Fabrication
I offer fabrication of custom stone settings and hand-setting of gemstones using techniques such as prong, wire-prong, and bezel settings. Settings can be developed according to the shape, size, and character of each stone.
Handcrafted Jewelry Components
I fabricate functional and structural jewelry components by hand, including ring shanks, clasps, hinges, bezels, prongs, and other custom elements required for a piece.
Mold Making & Casting
I offer mold making using wood and metal, as well as sand molding and metal casting for jewelry components and multi-part constructions.
Chain Making
I fabricate handmade chains and chain structures, including Cartier-style chain construction, with attention to proportion, flexibility, connection, and finishing.
Jewelry Finishing & Polishing
I provide detailed filing, sanding, surface refinement, and polishing to achieve the desired form, surface quality, and final finish of handmade jewelry.
Jewelry Repair & Restoration
I offer selected repair and restoration services, including resizing rings with mounted stones, repairing broken wire prongs, and refinishing previously made jewelry pieces.
