The Process

“It is in the struggle
that the process proceeds.”

Sure, we could do engraving, but somehow it just doesn’t look the same.  And we could mass produce our line, but where would the uniquity be in that?  Each piece of our jewelry is hand-carved in wax, thus bestowing the artistic appearance of the artist’s own  handwriting. The design is then cast in whatever metal suits the mood or desire, from sterling silver to any karat of gold you could salivate over.  Once cast, each piece is antiqued to enhance the lettering, then meticulously shaped and polished.  The long, painstaking process promises that each piece is completely one-of-a-kind.

Most "quote" rings, at this point, are completely custom creations as a result of this fastidious method.  This way, you can order whatever the inspiration that fits you, in whatever the size that fits you.
