Custom Jewelry
It's an Experience
When a jeweler has been creating custom designs for clients for 42 years, they master the entire process. Dennis and Evan start by listening to their clients' ideas, wants, and needs. They discuss gems and materials for the custom design. Then they develop sketches for review. Once the client is happy with the designs, they will create either a CAD design or a wax model. For some designs, they will go straight to metal, creating the design by hand.
