A two-artisan studio in Tempe, Arizona

We cut the gemstone and handcraft the silver that holds it.

Every piece begins with material we've carefully sourced. We cut and shape it by hand, then build the silver around what we find inside. From the first cut to the final polish, each piece is made in our Tempe studio, and no two will ever be exactly alike.

Source matters

Every gemstone has a story.

Many of our gemstones were formed millions of years ago and have traveled their own path before reaching our studio. Some come from old or private collections; others can be traced to the places where they were originally found. Whenever possible, we preserve that history: where the gemstone came from, what we know about its journey, and how it found its way to us. That story becomes part of the finished piece, and part of what you carry with you.

Our Story
A moss agate, cut and polished, still on its brass dop stick on the bench: green dendrites in white chalcedony with a rind of matrix along one edge.

The workshop

From the source, there's always something to love.

You never know exactly what's inside until the first cut. Color, pattern and character emerge at the saw, sometimes in ways we never expected. That moment of discovery is where each piece truly begins.
