Just finished this beautiful custom built copper sculpture that fits perfectly in our clients garden next to California native plants

Just finished up this beautiful cushion shaped halo diamond The center diamond is a round shape while the halo of diamonds have a cushion shape to it. A cushion shape is basically a rounded square. This is a great way to have a unique halo that has the feel of a cushion shaped diamond but the sparkle of a round diamond

We have finally finished our new resin sculpture ! It was a fun challenge for us!! We started roughing out our ideas in clay and decided to create this abstracted wave form that somewhat resembles a wave but also changes its shape and form depending on how you view it.

We are having fun learning how to create new jewelry using enamel! Enamel is a decorative coating of glass that is applied to the metal and fused onto the surface using high heat Enamel is very durable and can be made translucent making some amazing color combinations!

I had fun creating this unique pair of lapis and turquoise earrings and ring. I choose to use some of the very best pieces of lapis and a beautiful robins egg blue turquoise. The ring is made out of silver and in between the lapis is 14kt gold bars. I love the challenge of having to cut and grind each piece of lapis to fit perfectly in the channels.

Happy Mother’s Day! I’m glad I was able to help redesign my mom’s wedding ring and create something entirely new. We are very thankful for all that she does for us. Have a great day everyone!

Created this beautiful opal ring in white gold with diamonds. Opals are unique one of a kind gemstones. Some of the best opals come from Australia They display many different flashes of color with red being the most rare.

Creating one of a kind jewelry is our specialty and we are going to continue working on new unique designs.

One of the most interesting projects that we have ever been involved with. Our client brought us these plastic parts and scientific beakers that he wanted encased in resin. We weren’t sure what they were until he told us to inscribe Apollo 14/17Then he told us that they were the tools that he used to test 1 gram of moon rock samples brought back from these missions! We were blown away and proud to make these a keepsake for his family.

A cool simple bib style necklace with oxidized silver and 18kt gold. Love the striking contrast of the metals! #lovegold #jewelryaddict #oldtowntustin #handmadejewelry #18ktgold #goldjewelry #bibnecklace
