I specialize in custom rings, wedding bands, magickal and symbolic rings, in sterling silver, karat gold, or mixtures of the two metals, with or without stones.
- There are a four general ring styles we use:
- We specialize in mixed metals, argentium sterling silver and karat gold. Argentium sterling silver is a higher quality, more lustrous, stronger and tarnish resistant alloy of silver than regular sterling. We now use argentium sterling silver exclusively over sterling. We do not work with platinum , which requires specialized equipment, as does stainless steel. We use palladium white gold for 14kt white and 18 kt white gold. Palladium is a traded white metal in the platinum family which replaces nickel in palladium white gold alloys. Nickel white golds almost always require electroplating, which is a toxic procedure we do not use. Palladium white gold alloys do not and also do not cause allergies like nickel often does.
- I do not work with channel sets, although I do use just about every other type of setting.
- All my rings are designed by me and fabricated by hand, one at a time. Every ring is unique.
- If you want to commission a ring I highly recommend that you read the beginning section to Custom jewelry. There's a link in the bottom line of text that will bring you back here.
- Please give me lots of time to make a custom ring. Although I make most rings within 4 to 6 weeks some very difficult rings have taken me up to six months. If you have a deadline, let me know!
- Rings usually require more communication than other designs. Once you've given me an idea of what you want (the size, metal, stones and general style), I can provide a 3D drawing of what the ring will look like. Most new designs or 3D renderings of what the ring will looklike entail a Design Fee. Email me or call me (386•423•1833) and we'll work out the design and if a fee is required.
- If you'd like to see what a ring design looks like there are a few examples linked to some of the rings in this category or you can go to another one of our websites here, Use your browser's back button to return to this page.
