Shop for custom wedding rings, unique mokume gane jewelry and more.
I am proud to offer quality craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail in all of my work. From meticulously hand-crafted custom wedding rings to stamp-patterned earrings, all of my work is created using the traditional metalsmithing tools of file, handsaw, torch, and hammer. I fuse my own mokume gane billets and create everything from scratch at my San Diego studio. I invite you to visit my Etsy shop to see my current selection of rings, earrings, bracelets, art pieces and more. Visit my Etsy shop.
Create your own mokume gane jewelry in one of my 2018 workshops.
From fusing to chiseling, you can learn a wide range of techniques and even purchase exclusive limited edition ready-to-pattern mokume gane at my small format classes. View the current schedule at my workshops page.

Magic of a deadline - Halstead competition entry
I recently finished this interactive brooch and entered it in the Halstead competition "Hidden." If the work look different from what I usually do, there's a reason! Learn more about it and see the video to find out what is inside.

At one with the chisel
I've been doing a lot more of my patterning using the most traditional Japanese way - the chisel. Read why and see fun in-process pics of this bracelet on my blog. -- Updated with finished image of this same style bracelet in 18k yellow gold and palladium.

Fun with rose gold and billet backgrounds.
Recently a ring client asked if I could make a pendant for his fiancée to match the ring he'd ordered for himself. I love making gold jewelry other than rings, but don't generally do it except through commission. I liked how this one came out! Read more.

Francesca Urciuoli News
It was great to see my former intern Francesca here as my guest artist for Friday Night Liberty last August. She was taking a break from her two-year Artist-in-Residency program in Birmingham, UK, to soak up some San Diego sunshine and show off her new jewelry creations. So nice to have her back in the studio even for just a little while. You can read more about Francesca's first time at Anneville Studio here.
