Our Story

For over 48 years, we have been creating exceptional gold, platinum, and palladium jewelry in the Bay Area, combining expert craftsmanship with innovative design. From custom engagement rings and wedding bands to heirloom restorations and one-of-a-kind creations, our passion has always been helping clients transform meaningful moments into lasting treasures.

Whether you're envisioning a custom engagement ring, reimagining a family heirloom, or creating something entirely original, we have the creativity, technology, and expertise to bring your vision to life.

We specialize in ideal-cut, conflict-free diamonds and offer a carefully curated selection of rare and extraordinary gemstones, including:

- Fancy-Colored Sapphires, including rare color-changing varieties

- Rubies

- Emeralds

- Tanzanites

- Alexandrite

 

and many other unique gems you won't find in most jewelry stores. We believe the most remarkable pieces often begin with an exceptional stone. The rarer, the better.

Every piece is designed and crafted in-house at our Berkeley workshop, where we specialize in custom engagement rings, wedding bands, heirloom redesigns, hand engraving, Celtic knotwork, lathe-turned and inlay bands, and a variety of stone-setting techniques including bezel, pavé, prong, fishtail, and gypsy settings.

Our Team

Behind every piece is a team of dedicated artisans, designers, and jewelry professionals who are passionate about their craft. With decades of combined experience, we are committed to providing exceptional service, expert guidance, and meticulous attention to detail throughout every step of the process.

From selecting the perfect gemstone to refining the final design, we take pride in creating a personalized experience for every client. Building lasting relationships is just as important to us as creating lasting jewelry, and we consider it a privilege to be part of life's most meaningful milestones.

Craftsmanship

Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we create. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans who blend time-honored techniques with modern innovation, ensuring exceptional quality, beauty, and durability.

We believe jewelry is more than an accessory, it is wearable art. Rather than following trends, we focus on creating timeless designs that reflect the individuality of the person who wears them. Many of our pieces are one-of-a-kind or created in limited quantities, making each design as unique as the story behind it.

Whether crafted as a custom commission, an engagement ring, a restored family heirloom, or a special gift, every piece is made with the intention of becoming a cherished keepsake for generations to come. It is a pleasure to meet you, and we look forward to helping you create something timeless, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
