WHY CHOOSE CUSTOM DESIGNED JEWELRY

The possibilities are endless.
Get exactly what you want and unique.
Something specifically representing you or your relationship.
The opportunity to design it yourself--if you want.

I am an artist that does not use any of the gimmicks of today. I do not use Cad or wax, I am a true artist of the old school. My pieces are properly planned original and professionally fabricated.

Have your .960 platinum Lucida ring totally made by hand like this to the highest standards possible by the master of the craft, engineered to fit your diamond, and your finger exactly.

For platinum Lucida ring mounts that take up to 1 ct. or 6.5 mm square diamonds the cost is $2,000.00

Once we come to an agreement as to the type of design you have decided on, I can quote on the cost of making that original one of a kind piece

The funds should be received by check or bank transfer within a few days of our quote before I can start fabricating you piece of jewelry.

     

Then at that point I proceed directly in platinum, and you will receive pictures of your piece as the process advances through the different stages until it is finished. This type of work takes up to 8 weeks to finalize, only once it has been started.

I do not use wax to create and cast my platinum jewelry, I work directly in .960 platinum. I use 4% ruthenium alloy.

All my platinum pieces are made with rolled out platinum hand wrought which compresses the platinum to perfection, for the very high gloss finish that only compressed molecules can provide that my customers love.

This finish is not achieved with cast parts from a wax pattern that we so often see today.

The problems that we hear so much about today with bad platinum is the result of casting, as castings often look good till it is too late, and that could be on you hand years later.

Casting platinum has become common practice, it is a mode of working for the majority as they have not been trained to work directly in metal, and cost cutting by the fabricator to accommodate the retailers “store keepers” the resellers, as they claim all the profit on the sale, and leave as little as possible for the artist.

Option (A)
For your security and ours all we require are the dimensions of your diamond / stone we prepare a silver template of your diamond / stone according to the dimensions you supply us so we can proceed to create your ring to fit your stone. This way there are never any insurance issues as your stone is never out of your sight.

Option (B)
We do not accept liability for outside merchandise. Insurance should be current and active by the owner, insuring against loss or damage before sending anything to us through an authorized dealer, or authorized appraiser.

We only accept shipments of documented goods from authorized dealers, or authorized appraisers, with advance confirmed notice.

We can not accept goods from outside Canada; the paper work is a night mare.

Reason to consider option (A)
It is simple to have main stones installed (set) by your stone vendor or appraiser.

   
Due to the precious metal market, check for current prices.
