Custom design since 1986

One idea. One sketch. One ring, forever.

Chuck and his team have designed thousands of one-of-a-kind pieces — many from heirloom stones brought in by the next generation.

A couple on their wedding day
More than just jewelry

Every piece tells a story.

Bring us the rings you no longer wear and the stones you can't part with, and we'll design something you'll never take off. This cross was made from a couple's own jewelry — the gold from their wedding bands reshaped into the cross, the moissanite from her engagement ring and their diamonds reset by hand, and the chain wrapped to form a heart. That's what we love most: turning what you already treasure into something new.
