Brian, our artisan jeweler, has a way of making custom jewelry that is unique and made to fit you. If you have an old piece of jewelry that you want made new again, or you want to start fresh, Brian will ask questions about the recipient of the piece. This is important because he can design anything you want to fit the individual personality of the receiver.

If the person who is going to wear the piece is outgoing and loves showy pieces of jewelry Brian will make sure that the piece he is working on will fit the style the owner loves. Just as if the person is modest and quiet, Brian will make a piece that is more reserved.

As an example, one day a woman walked into Brian’s shop with a beautiful old European cut diamond that was a family heirloom ring. The woman wanted the diamond reset in a custom piece of jewelry that would fit her better than the old European style.

Brian asked her some questions and got a feel for the type of person the woman was, he immediately felt that she was a strong, stylish person who was lively and upbeat.

He suggested changing the band and adding two radiant cut diamonds of a yellow color on each side to make this a custom ring that would fit the personality of the woman who brought the ring in. The two radiant cut diamonds were square shape, while the old European diamond was round, this new style reflected the strength that Brian saw in the woman.

The cut of a diamond does not refer to the shape but rather the, proportioning, symmetry and polishing. This greatly influences the diamond’s brilliance and luminosity not matter what the shape is.

Brian takes all of this into consideration when he is designing a custom piece of jewelry for anyone. Unless you have a specific idea of how you want your custom piece of jewelry to look when it is complete, Brian will be able to help you design one that will suit you perfectly.
