Custom Jewelry Gallery

Here's a small sample of over 2000 custom pieces we've made.  Some use loose gems from our collections, others use stones found for the client, or by "recycling" the client's older jewelry.  Karen's style is imaginative but uncluttered, letting the gems take center stage.  Inspired? Get in touch, (see the contact page) and let's talk about a special project of your own!
