Custom wedding rings and unique mokume gane jewelry
I am proud to offer quality craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail in all of my work here at Anneville Studio. My meticulously hand-crafted custom wedding rings, vessels, boxes, bracelets and other jewelry are all created using the traditional metalsmithing tools of file, handsaw, torch, and hammer. I fuse my own mokume gane billets right here in my Liberty Station studio and create everything from scratch using ethically sourced metals. Browse ring designs and get a free quote.

News from the Bench
First Friday in Exile
On Friday April 3rd we did a (really dorky) live broadcast from Anneville Studio in exile. We shared an update on the Jewelry Lab, Anne took us on a studio tour and updated us on her current works in progress and we even did a metal arts show & tell with Anne sharing some pieces from her collection. The video is exceptionally dorky but if you want to watch the recording, head over to Anne's Facebook Page.

Trenton's Blood Drive was a Success!
3/15/20 -This little fella is Trenton. He was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer but after surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and blood and platelet transfusions his last MRI was great. He has a long battle ahead of him that will likely include more transfusions ... and that's where our community really came through. On Saturday, March 14th we had one of our best blood drives ever! In fact, we broke our previous record by registering 20 donors and collecting 17 pints, thereby saving 51 lives in our community. AND, in spite of COVID-19 and the rain we welcomed 8 first time donors! I am deeply grateful to everyone who made this a success - whether you signed up to donate or helped us spread the word. Thank you and Go Team Trenton!

"Anne was so wonderful to work with for my fiancé's wedding ring! She answered all of our questions during the process and above all, the ring is gorgeous, beautiful, unique and perfect! Thank you, Anne. You have created an heirloom we will treasure for a long time." ~ Emily & Greg
"The Patina class today was so much fun and a wonderful learning experience. We learned several different techniques and which metals worked best with each technique. Ann is an exceptional instructor, experienced, knowledgeable and devoted to her art. She encourages her students to develop their skills, improve their techniques and to be fearless when creating. As long as there are classes offered, I will certainly be taking them!" ~ Jean F., San Diego
