Custom Design, Jewelry Makeovers, and Jewelry Wardrobe Consults

Bring us your tired, your poorly designed, your prong-smothered diamonds yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming jewelry drawer! Let us give your old pieces a new look with a simple fix, e.g., a new modern finish or a size/length alteration, or if something more is necessary or desired, we will offer custom design using your materials. This may be through Ken Weston, Kai Hill, Sarah Hill or others on staff, or may be through our designer partners such as Niessing, Sholdt, or Marcel Roelofs. We also offer expert guidance in evaluating your jewelry, your style, and building a jewelry wardrobe. Bring pieces that no longer work for you, inherited pieces, etc. In addition to phone or text, you may use the form below to make an appointment.
