Built around
your stone.
Most of what we make is commissioned. You bring the stone and the idea — we bring forty years of knowing what rough will do under a saw. Sketch before cutting, always.

The process
Four steps, and you’re in the loop for all of them
Commissioning something is only stressful when you can’t see what’s happening. So we show you.
Step 2Free, no obligation
Design consultation
We talk through setting, metal, size and finish. You leave the call knowing roughly what it'll look like and exactly what it'll cost.
Step 31–2 weeks
Cut and shape
We assess the rough, cut to follow the pattern, and shape it. Photo updates at each stage so you can weigh in before it's permanent.
Step 41–2 weeks
Set, finish, deliver
The setting is built around the finished stone, then it's polished, inspected, and shipped insured with tracking.
What it costs
Straight answers, quoted up front
These are starting points. You get a firm written quote after the consultation and before anything is cut — and it doesn’t move once you’ve approved it.
Simple setting
From $180
A single stone, a clean bezel or prong setting, one metal. Pendants and simple rings live here.
- One hand-cut stone
- Sterling silver or brass
- Sized and finished
- 3–4 week turnaround
Statement piece
From $420
Multiple stones, a more involved setting, or a design that needs real time at the bench. This is most of what we make.
- Multiple stones
- Gold or mixed metals
- Custom design & sketch
- Photo updates throughout
Heirloom build
Quoted
A stone with serious meaning — an inherited piece, a once-in-a-lifetime find — built with no deadline pressure and no shortcuts.
- Full design consultation
- Precious metals available
- Rebuild or reset existing jewelry
- Quoted per project
Not sure which fits? That’s what the free consultation is for — we’ll tell you which tier your project actually needs.
Already have a stone?
That’s the best kind of commission
Rough from a trip, a stone you dug yourself, an old piece of jewelry you never wore — all of it works. We’ll assess what you have honestly, including telling you when a stone won’t survive the process.

Send photos first
Daylight shots from a couple of angles are enough for a first read.

We'll tell you honestly
Inclusions, fractures, hardness — you hear about all of it before committing.

Nothing gets cut without your yes
The sketch comes first. You approve it, then the saw comes out.
