Christmas Evergreen...Freshmans Style!


You can keep your wreaths or pine boughs. For Christmas, we prefer this 14k white gold ring with diamonds and Chatham emeralds.

The Chatham emeralds are a man made gemstone that have the exact same chemical properties as natural emeralds, but since they are man made, they are a great value. Since they have less imperfections than natural emeralds, they tend to be a bit tougher than natural emeralds, making them a great choice in a ring.

Rob and Lindsey's Ring


Rob and Lindsey were a blast to work with! We designed this 14k white gold wedding set with a bezel set diamond and pave set diamond accents. The sides of the rings were hand engraved and the edges were millgrained to give it a more vintage feel.

Congratulations to both of you!

Why Pay To Have Your Ring Sized When You Could Just Pay $800 For A New TV?


We always urge people to make sure their rings are sized properly. Its a common mistake to get rings too loose. When the winter months roll around your finger will shrink and your ring can come flying off.

Case in point, this article from tech blog Gizmodo.

"... According to Gizmodo reader Brian, the photo above was taken just a few moments after he accidentally flung his wedding band at a television while trying to play a Kinect game for the first time."

"...the lesson to learn from Brian's misfortune is that you should always get your rings sized properly..."


Please contact us if you have any questios about sizing your rings or any other jewelry repair.

I've Got Bad News...


...but we'll get to the bad news in a bit.

This platinum ring was made using diamonds and a sapphire that was previously in another ring. We cut out all the old stones and came up with a nicer layout. The sapphire was re-polished to make it look like new and set in this custom-made platinum mounting.

And now for the bad news. When the ring was delivered the client told us she had some bad news for us. Because of the overall experience workign with us, she's a customer for life. We love it everytime we hear that type of "bad news".
