We heartily invite you to visit our cozy studio/store, meet us in person and see our large selection of original designs. Every piece of our jewelry is uniquely designed and made by us. The sound of age old methods of silver and goldsmithing can be heard in our shop every day as we hammer, saw, pierce, file, forge and solder these precious metals into our own creations. In a time where so much is mass produced, our attention to detail and our commitment to extreme quality is uncommon and personally rewarding. We even handmake each sterling silver and gold earwire, first drawing the oversized wire down through 7 dies to make the wire more durable and shape-holding for the lifetime of wear it will receive.
