Many of the people I work with never set foot in my studio.

They're in Denver, Boston, a small town in Michigan. They have a ring in a drawer that belonged to someone they loved, and no one nearby who will do more than drop the stone into a stock setting.

So we do it by mail and video. It works. I've built necklaces for women I've never met in person and cried with them on a screen when they opened the box.

How it works

1. Share your story

We start with a call. You tell me who the piece belonged to and what it meant. I ask about your hands, your job, whether you wear rings when you cook. This part matters more than the stones.

2. Discovery

You send photos first. I'll tell you honestly what I think is possible before anything ships.

3. Design presentation

Sketches and renderings, then revisions until it's right. You approve before anything is cut.

4. Creation

I photograph the work in progress and send it as it goes. You'll see your stones out of the old setting, and you'll see them go into the new one.

5. The moment

It arrives in a box, insured, with a note.

How your jewelry travels

This is the part everyone worries about, and they should.

Your pieces ship through Parcel Pro, the carrier the jewelry trade uses — fully insured door to door, tracked, signature required. I'll send you a prepaid, insured label. Nothing goes in a regular mailbox.

While your jewelry is with me, it's covered under my Jewelers Mutual policy. It's stored in a safe, and it never leaves my studio.

If a stone can't be used, or if what you're imagining won't hold up to daily wear, I'll tell you before it ships. I'd rather lose the project than send back something that fails.

What it costs

Most redesigns run $1,500 to $3,500. Bigger projects — multiple pieces combined, a full estate transformation — go higher.

I'll give you a real number after we talk, not a range that moves later.

How long it takes

About eight weeks from approved design to delivery.

I take a limited number of projects a month. That's not scarcity marketing — it's one person doing the work, and I'd rather do a few well.

Questions people ask

Can you really design something for me without meeting me?
Yes. The call does the work. I ask a lot of questions and I listen to how you talk about the person the jewelry came from.

What if I don't like the design?
Then we keep going. Revisions are included, and nothing is made until you say yes.

Can I use stones from more than one piece?
This is my favorite kind of project. A grandmother's diamonds and a mother's sapphire in one pendant is a real thing you can do.

What if the setting is worth keeping?
Sometimes it is. I'll say so.

Do I have to ship everything at once?
No. Send photos first. We'll decide together what needs to come to me.

Because jewelry should be worn. Not stored.
