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 and create everything from scratch using ethically sourced metals. Browse ring designs and get a free quote.

"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
