Custom Gold Jewelry Design:

What is the difference between engraving by hand and machine engraving, known as pantograph engraving?

It is a question of aesthetics, the difference being, one comes from the soul through the hand, carving with a graver, whereas the latter is a machine following a template with a stylus”. :One is a work of art, the other a mechanical reproduction”.

Adding Meaning to Custom Pieces

I specialize in Symbolist Jewelry Design and lettering, designed from the clients very personal images, similar to what the Art Nouveau Jewelers at the turn of the century experimented with. For me, this form of expression is a celebration of the person and their life experiences. By presenting the story line of each piece’s conception, I leave a vivid heirloom legacy for the future family members to enjoy!
