Repurposing is one of my favorite jobs - nothing lives its best life in a drawer, safe or box under the bed. Bring it out into the light where it can be seen, loved ones remembered, and milestones marked.

This was a family heirloom pear shaped diamond that was put into a new minimal and organic bezel of 14k Fairmined gold for Julia and Andy. Paired with my wave contour band, this makes a pretty spectacular set if you ask me. I’m always so honored to play a part in such a special day 💕 Congrats you two on your upcoming wedding!!!

Another custom ring from the archives with a stunning 1 carat oval natural diamond flanked with 6 fair-trade Australian teal sapphires from . I especially love the texture and rustic quality of the bezel settings around the stones.

A custom wedding set from a while back with champagne diamonds in Fairmined yellow gold. (I really am trying to get caught up here with all of the work I do and never post!) One was inspired by the Great Barrier Band, but we wanted to go wider with a more cigar band look, and the second is an imperfect smooth texture with small clusters of champagne diamonds. I love that both rings nod to each other but still express the individual style of each of the wearers.

I’ve made a few custom creations in the style of the Shoal collection, my very first find jewelry collection launched over 10 years ago in 2015. This collection is still one of my strongest and in my opinion, most unique. The process is organic and I can’t fully predict how the pieces turn out which makes it particularly challenging for custom. I’ve added on to the collection here and there but it’s feeling like I might need to really dive in and create a new mini collection to add in given its resurgence in popularity recently.

Allie & Lauren eloped this fall in Oregon and it looked like a truly magical day! I’m honored to have played a small part in creating these rings for them and helping them symbolize their love and commitment to each other ❤️
