Custom Design
Your Idea, Made by Hand
Bring us a sketch, a photo, an heirloom, or just a thought — and we'll build something completely one of a kind.
Every piece starts with a conversation. Bring us anything — and we'll figure out the rest together.
Your Question, Answered
What If I Don't Like It?
It's the most common question we hear — and Martina takes it seriously. Her answer: you'll see it before it's final.
For most designs, we create a wax model so you can hold it, look at it from every angle, and request changes before a single piece of metal is ever cast. You have full say at every step.
Martina has a gift for reading when someone is unsure — and she'll offer the wax model before you even have to ask. Our mission is simple: to make your dream a reality. The goal isn't just a beautiful piece — it's a piece you love.
The Process
From First Idea to Finished Piece
01
Come In and Share Your Vision
Show us a drawing, a photo, a piece you love, or just describe what you're imagining. We'll sketch something together right there at the counter and give you an honest estimate. No pressure, no obligation — and we're an easy drive from Williamsport, State College, and Lock Haven.
02
We Build a Wax Model (If Needed)
For more complex designs — or whenever you want to see it in 3D before we proceed — we create a wax prototype. You come in, hold it, and tell us what you'd like to change. We adjust until it's exactly right.
03
We Cast and Finish It By Hand
Once you've approved the design, we cast it in the metal you've chosen, set your stones, and hand-finish every detail right here in the studio. No outsourcing. No shortcuts.
04
You Pick It Up
Most custom pieces are ready in 2–3 weeks. When you come in to pick it up, you'll be holding something that didn't exist before — made just for you, by hand, in Jersey Shore.
A Real Story
A Journey Worth Remembering
One of our favorite custom projects started when a young man came in with his mother to design an engagement ring together. We offered to photograph every step — the original sketch, the wax model, the casting, the stone being set, and the finished ring.
His mother turned those photos into a memory book for him. When they picked up the ring, the joy in that room is something we still talk about.

A Few Things Worth Knowing
Timeline
Most custom pieces take 2–3 weeks from approval to pickup. More complex designs may take longer. During the holiday season, turnaround times are extended — so if you're working toward a special date, come in early.
Pricing
Every custom piece is priced based on materials and complexity. We'll give you a clear estimate before we begin — and we don't start work until you've approved it.
Metals & Stones
We work in gold and silver, with diamonds and colored gemstones. If you have a stone you'd like us to work with — including stones from an existing piece — bring it in and we'll talk through your options.
