I use only secondary source and/or recycled sources of Gold and Diamonds in my work. I use refined metal originating from jewelers, manufacturers, secondary market jewelry and placer gold from individual miners in northern California. My diamonds come from secondary market and conflict-free origin sources. I am very conscious of the karmic implications of pollution and human misery associated with large corporations mining gold and the problems with sources of diamonds that come from conflict nations. I wish to keep the energy of your rings as pristine as possible. The price for rings with stones here do not include the price of a stone. Please write me for a price quote to accommodate your needs.

I have a blog, with a few recent postings that may be of interest. I wish to use this format to expand on subjects such as what motivates and inspires my work and fun things that come with my travels. Soon to come will be information on gemstone properties as well. Keep tuned!

I offer great service and meticulous detail to your individualized crafted wedding rings and accessories. Please allow me time for this exacting work.
