I love bringing unique jewelry ideas to life! If you’re interested in a custom piece, the first step is to gather inspiration—I ask that you create a Pinterest board or collect at least four images of designs you love. If you enjoy sketching, you’re welcome to draw your ideas as well.

I work primarily in sterling silver and gold and can source a wide variety of stones to fit your vision.

Custom work is priced at $75 per hour for design plus the cost of materials. Because every piece is handcrafted, I only take on projects that align with my aesthetic and skill set. Some fine jewelry styles require specialized techniques outside my expertise, but if your design isn’t the right fit for me, I may be able to recommend another jeweler who’s better suited to your style.

If you'd like to start the process, I recommend securing your spot by purchasing a deposit, which allows me to begin working on your design. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable and will expire if the project is not followed up on within one year.

If you're ready to get started or have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear your ideas!

Care & Cleaning

How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time, but regular care will keep it looking beautiful. To maintain its shine, store your jewelry in an airtight bag when not in use and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, lotions, or perfumes. To clean, gently rub with a Sunshine polishing cloth or use Wright’s Silver Cream for a deeper clean.

How to Care for Brass Jewelry
Brass develops a warm patina over time, which many love for its antique look. If you prefer a bright, golden finish, clean your piece regularly with Bar Keepers Friend powder. Simply mix a small amount with water to create a paste, rub gently, and rinse thoroughly. For tough spots, use the finest grit steel wool (#0000) along with Bar Keepers Friend for extra polishing power.

Avoid prolonged exposure to water, lotions, or perfumes, and store your brass jewelry in a dry place to minimize oxidation. A quick polish will bring back its shine whenever needed!

How to Care for Gold-Filled Jewelry

Gold-filled jewelry is durable and made to last, but proper care will help maintain its shine:

Keep away from chemicals: Avoid exposure to perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners.

Clean gently: Use mild soap and warm water, then dry with a soft cloth.

Store properly: Keep in a dry, airtight container or jewelry pouch to prevent oxidation.

 Wear regularly: The natural oils from your skin help maintain its luster.

Sustainability
