The Legacy of the Bench - Our Craftsmanship Story
I was born into a family of extraordinary craftsmen. Growing up at the workbench, surrounded by talented artists and the steady rhythm of tools, gave me an early edge—and a lifelong love—for jewelry making. Fashion, technology, and techniques have evolved since those first days, but the heart of hand-crafted fine jewelry remains the same.
From Idea to Heirloom
Sketch & Plan
Every piece begins with a pencil sketch and a few cups of coffee. Some designs take an hour; others unfold over several days until every curve feels right.
Wax Modeling
I carve the prototype by hand. Once the wax is perfect, I know exactly how the finished jewel should look and feel.
Casting
The wax is invested in a flask and cast in molten metal—14 K yellow or white gold, or sterling silver—chosen to match your order (and sometimes my momentary inspiration).
Refinement
Files, emery wheels, and fine sandpapers reveal crisp lines and smooth surfaces, preparing the setting for gemstones.
Stone Selection & Setting
Selecting perfectly matched stones is my favorite part. Each diamond or colored gem is set by hand, one at a time, with meticulous precision.
Mirror Polish
Multiple buffs and brushes bring the piece to a brilliant shine before it leaves my bench—and joins your story.
I feel blessed to do what makes me happy every day: transform metal and gemstones into keepsakes that celebrate life’s moments.
