Stones & Unique Commisions
Rings with stones and other unique commissions
Each person and each relationship is unique. Part of the joy of my business is talking with and getting to know my clients, to help them design the perfect ring or set of rings. Here are many of the custom pieces I've made over the years for weddings, anniversaries and other occasions. I hope exploring these will give you ideas for your own special rings.

Color choice WRS - 14k palladium white gold, 14k rose gold and sterling silver, etched.
This ring uses 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver for the mokume gane (WS), but with a generous 18k palladium white gold lining. The customer was allergic to many metals, so using the 18k lining minimized the chance of any reaction. And it looks great too!
This custom color combination, 18k yellow gold with 950 palladium is one of my favorite to work with but also on the upper end of the price range. It is a dense, magnificent feeling metal combination that will turn heads and last a lifetime. Star pattern. Smooth finish (no etching possible with this material).
This color combination - (WRS) 14k palladium white gold, 14k rose gold and sterling silver - has the most contrast of all the materials I use. It is great for those wanting the pattern to stand out. These are my classic design rings with the addition of 6 tiny flush-set diamonds.
I love the way these tiny sapphires look, flush-set in 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver mokume gane (WS). This was made as a narrow wedding band, to be worn with an engagement ring. This ring is 3.5mm wide, about as narrow as I like to go when setting the stones.
Couples don't have to choose the same mokume material! This pair uses sterling silver with white gold (WS) and three small diamonds for her ring, and 14k palladium white gold, 14k rose gold and sterling silver (WRS) for his.
This pair uses my favorite color combination - 14k palladium white gold, 18k yellow gold and sterling silver (WYS). Classic band design, but with one added .02 carat flush-set diamond for a bit more sparkle.
I helped a client design this ring as a memorial to his recently departed wife. The side bands of yellow gold are their actual wedding rings they wore for 37 years, melted down and forged anew. Material is 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver (WS).
This couple wanted a shape less traditional than the low-dome, but didn't want the strong geometric feel of the flat-top. So, flat with slightly rounded edges was born! I think this is a great shape to accentuate the patterning. Metals combination WRS.
Custom color combination: 18k yellow gold and 950 palladium mokume gane in a star pattern. The left ring has added sterling silver edging, while the right ring has an inner band of sterling silver. Middle ring is an 18k yellow hammered band engagement ring.
Woodgrain pattern mokume gane with a luscious green tsavorite garnet. Mokume is (WS) 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver, with a smooth finish.
This was an older set of mine, probably only the third pair of mokume gane rings I ever made. The strip of mokume on a white gold band makes a nice accent to match the star-patterned ring with flush-set diamonds . Material - 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver (WS). Smooth finish.
Flowing star patterned mokume, in 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver (WS). Light etch.
