A while back I added a tiny sunflower to the side of a ring, a little secret only the wearer would know was there. The polishing wheel had other ideas.

It looked perfect on screen. But polishing takes off a fine layer of metal. My sunflower wasn't raised quite enough, so it came back much softer than I'd pictured. I rebuilt it standing taller and the second one came through crisp.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately, because more people are designing their own rings now. Free software like FreeCAD can work with AI, so you can describe a ring in plain English and watch it appear on screen. Brilliant. But the screen doesn't know what metal will and won't do and more importantly, it hasn't worked with setters, casters and jewelers in the real world.

So I've written down everything I'd want you to know first: the measurements that matter, the details you can stop fussing over and how I can take your file, source the stone, cast it and set it for you.

If you've been tinkering with a design, I'd love to see it.

What would you do with 10 tiny baguette diamonds from a sentimental piece of jewelry?

Joanna wanted to use the diamonds from one of her mom’s rings in her wedding ring, but there was a slight challenge… none of them were quite the same size.

So I designed the ring around the stones, creating an individual setting for each baguette and setting them into 14k yellow gold.

And I love how it looks alongside Joanna’s other rings. I also made her toi et moi engagement ring, and Joanna and Josiah actually made another of their wedding rings with me in the studio.

More on those another day…

Back in 2003 I remember hearing this song for the first time and loving it.

It’s about Nelly’s experience in the music industry trying to mold her into a cookie-cutter pop star image and become something she wasn’t.

But the line that always stuck with me was:

“But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do?”

When that happens to me, I put on some statement rings and my outlook immediately changes. I feel powerful.

And (by the way), when I wear rings on my pointer finger I feel like Superwoman. I’m at least 10x more powerful.

What do you do when you need a boost in the morning to get you through the day?

And do you have a finger preference for rings?!

One of my favorite subjects at school was art (that probably doesn’t come as a surprise). One of the classes was to discuss our favorite artists. I chose to talk about Piet Mondrian. He did a series of paintings called Composition, with black lines and primary colors and that’s what the Metropolis collection was inspired by (not Frank Lloyd Wright as people often ask). I chose to call it the Metropolis collection as a nod to his New York series which he did later in his career (have you heard of the painting: Broadway Boogie Woogie? That’s Mondrian)

Another sling shot (see what I did there?). Whilst she doesn’t like being in the sling anymore, she does love being in on the jewelry making action. I use CAD to design a lot of my jewelry pieces, but I’ve also been using it to design and 3D print some useful jewelry tools (like this wax mitre box. I’ve also designed a photography light box. Any ideas for other jewelry tools which I could 3D print instead of buying? (Since jewelry tools are insanely expensive)

Do I repair jewelry that wasn’t purchased from me?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Maya brought me this ring after the original stone had fallen out. She suspected years of cleaning it (because dirt kept getting trapped in the bezel) may have loosened the setting over time.

Rather than replacing it with a similar stone, she wanted to take the opportunity to give the ring a new look. She wanted something flatter, more like a signet ring, with an opalescent glow.

We explored a few options: opal, moonstone, and mother of pearl. Opal isn’t ideal for an everyday ring. Most stones are cut with a domed top, but mother of pearl are not!

After sourcing several pieces of mother of pearl, Maya chose her favorite. Then came the fun part… making it fit.

The stone was slightly too tall for the setting, so I carefully removed metal from underneath the bezel to create enough space for it to sit flat and flush.

Maya loved the finished ring.

There’s something really satisfying about giving a piece of jewelry a second life.

Have a piece sitting in your jewelry box that needs some attention? Send me a message and let’s see what’s possible.
