These include earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, bands, and due to our customers’ request, some solitaire settings. These pieces are constructed in platinum or gold, mostly one at a time by our own skilled jewelers. Many of these pieces can be custom ordered to your size and with your preference of gemstones.
