A selection of Custom Pieces made in 2019

Work with Dora to create a one of a kind piece just for you!

I love working with customers to create custom, one of a kind pieces. Every piece is handcrafted by me and I look forward to creating a piece you can cherish forever. Whether converting old gold jewelry or stones into a piece you love, a well deserved gift for yourself or for a loved one, custom jewelry for your wedding party, wedding rings or something to commemorate a special event… the possibilities are endless!

Custom Orders generally take 4 to 8 weeks after the design is finalized and materials ordered. That said, it can vary depending on needs- I've made a husband to be's wedding ring ordered a week before the wedding and I've searched for that perfect stone direct from the source for months.

Whether you have something in mind, or have no idea, I can work with you to design and create a beautiful, unique, ethical and ecological piece.

Email, text or call and we can set up an in person or virtual session to meet and discuss!

I truly look forward to it :)

Necklace and Earring Set

Requested for a fiancee, a one of a kind set for Christmas/ her birthday. As she loves tropical oceans and blue, I designed a piece with stunning Peruvian Chalcedony and Neon Apatite and "wave like" silver pieces.

Ruby & Stella

One of my favorite custom orders. A husband wanted a necklace made for his expectant wife as a celebratory gift after she gave birth. After years of trying, they were having twins! I was so honored to make this piece for them. The daughter's names are Ruby & Stella- so he wanted a Ruby and a star. For such a wonderful piece, I looked for a few months for the perfect Ruby, one that was Fair Trade and unique in cut and I found the perfect trillion cut one to be set in recycled gold and silver

Here is a couple of the sketches for the piece before we decided.

The final piece

Made using owner's gold chain

I used two gold chains that were given by a loved one who had passed away for this one of a kind piece. It was for a customer who always cares for others and truly deserved a well earned gift for herself infused with her memory. This is the working piece next to the sketch we made together

The final piece. I wanted to be able to preserve some of the beauty of the chain, so had one cover two pieces. The idea came from an aztec symbol for motherhood

Custom Ring

My first ring for myself. It is a stunning piece that I cherish and receive compliments on daily. I found similar rutilated quartz so the design can now be made custom sized for you!

Custom Ring

Made of recycled silver with a layer of Shibuichi,an olive- colored metal, to bring out the rutiles naturally occurring in the set, faceted Rutilated Quartz stone.

Male Earrings

The earrings finished! I used masculine metals- silver, Shakudo and Shibuichi (the last two typically used for Japanese sword inlay)

Male Post Earring

I've created pieces for men mostly as custom orders. Here is one. A gift for a son- post earrings in progress in front of the final design and size chosen.

Made with Customer's Stones. Clip-On Post Earrings

Liv & Lov for Believe I Am

Ro of BIA asked me to create her logo as a piece of jewelry for the co-owners. They loved them and I started creating them for her customers too! To not take away too much time from Liv & Lov, they're now cast, still with recycled silver as I made them :)

Love Pendant

A husband contacted me to make a pendant with the word "Love" with a birthstone hanging from each letter to resemble each person in their family- husband, wife and two children. Here is the final sketch with the piece pre-polishing

Coptic Cross

I designed a Coptic cross for a friend who could not find one in the USA. Here is another one I created available as a unisex piece.

Another Wedding with Liv & Lov jewelry

Maid of Honor

A bride ordered Branch earrings for her bridesmaids and requested an infinity pair for her maid of honor. It was such a honor to play a small role in their joy!
