Atelier Gigi

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so take that old brooch your grandma gave you and turn it into a rockin’ holiday gift for yourself! (Grandma will be green with envy that she didn’t do it first!) #ateliergigi #repurposedjewelry #oldintonew #tourmalinenecklace #diamondtassel #customdesigner

My client has committed himself to serving our country, but on this day he committed himself to the woman of his dreams! I wish you two all the best! #ateliergigi #customjewelrydesigns #romanticproposals #saltandpepperdiamonds

It takes two to make a great couple, and a great couple needs a great couple of rings! I am honored to have been chosen to make these rings for an old friend from Alameda and his amazing partner. No names mentioned but feel free to out yourselves if desired. #ateliergigi #customjeweler #oldfriendsarethebest #platinumrings #sapphireengagementring

Greetings from the land of smiles! I am so lucky to have visited the people and animals of Chiang Rai, and to have enjoyed the generous hospitality of the entire Anantara Golden Triangle staff. I WILL be back! #ateliergigitakesavacation #elephantpreserve #anantarachiangrai #landofsmiles

I had so much fun designing this single earring for my lovely and talented client. We started small but finished big,and she totally rocked this at her wedding! #ateliergigi #oneearringtorulethemall #rosegoldearring #customjewelrydesigner

I said I was feeling like fish after my long flight to Singapore, not realizing that could have more than one meaning. #feedmeseymore #herefishyfishy #ateliergigitakesavacation

Monday is a good day to start fresh!This halo ring was made using the diamonds from my client’s old mounting, and the transformation has colored my view for the better. #ateliergigi #diamondhalorings #customupcycledjewelry #fromstrawintogold #customjewelrydesign

I love it when a plan comes together, and this ring fit my client in more ways then one! We used diamonds from two rings he inherited and combined them into one knockout piece. #ateliergigi #noImnotretired #modernantiquering #marquisediamondring #repurposedjewelry

Cheers to a bright and sparkly 2019! Wishing you all a year of love, laughter, and good fortune! #ateliergigi #happynewyear2019 #customjewelrydesign #ilovemyclients #engagement rings #repurposedjewelry

Now this is what I call a sign of good luck.I'm half-way to Carlsbad, living my dream of studying at the Gemological Institute of America, and I run into a group of cell phone-talkin', coffee-loving, Buddhist monks at Starbucks! Namaste my friends, namaste. #ateliergigi #starbuckslove #namasteyall #gemologicalinstituteofamerica
