Expertise

I am passionate about jewelry design and problem solving. I always say that jewelry design is just problem solving on a luxury level :) I thrive on taking your ideas, memories or a concept and creating it into the perfect piece of jewelry just for you. I draw my energy and inspiration from the outdoor and spend as much time as possible in nature. I have designed and created collections for leading international jewelry brands and have competed in top design competitions. I can turn any jewelry idea you have into a reality and I cant wait to get started :)

Fondest Jewelrythis Journeys & My Most Treasured Jewelry Piece

Her name is cat… need we say more :) This striking 1.53ct round brilliant-cut diamond, with a color grade of F and clarity of VVS1, is set in platinum, accompanied by a ¾ eternity of diamonds along the band. It
Cat said YES!
Ah, it was a BEAUTIFUL 1.5ct diamond engagement ring! I see a lot of stones and this one was just breathtaking! To be honest each new client journey I go on that piece becomes my new favorite because each custom piece of jewelry is so personally and unique. 
Emerald Elegance
The striking bold green oval emerald pops from the center of this ring crafter from warm yellow gold. The accent white diamonds creates a wonderful vintage look. This ring was recreated from just a photo and looks even better then the original. 
Sister Sister
I made matching diamond pinky rings for my twin sister and I in celebration of our 21st birthday. Years later we still have and wear them. It is a great reminder that she is always with me even in times when she is not. I love symbolic jewelry!

    I had an idea for a custom pendant sketched out on paper, and Jewelry This brought it to life beautifully. From the very beginning to the final result, Lucinda worked closely with me and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. She … More truly understood my vision, paid attention to every detail, and kept me updated at each step along the way.
    The craftsmanship is outstanding! The pendant is exactly what I imagined and the quality is excellent. I absolutely love it and couldn’t be happier with the result. If you’re looking for custom jewelry made with care, skill, and great communication, I highly recommend Jewelry This

    The pendant Jewelry This crafted for me is beautiful. I had it made for my husband and he absolutely loves it. Lucinda kept me updated on the process from start to finish. I highly recommend Jewelry This to anyone looking for a custom piece … More of jewelry.

    Lucinda at Jewelry This was AMAZING! I am a very selective customer who knows what I what. I searched numerous retailers and couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere. High end jewelers either told me it could not be made OR … More quoted me more than I paid JT. I had a quatrefoil flower station necklace made to be my EVERYDAY necklace. I sent an inspiration photo however I needed a different metal and chain type. It really helps to know what you are looking for as it expedites your project. Lucinda and her team were patient with me and sent my finished piece to me all the way to the opposite coast to test run and wear on my vacay before the final payment was made. This made me feel trusted as a consumer. The packaging was high end for gifting and the quality of the piece was beyond my expectations in terms of craftsmanship. The solid silver stations were thicker to my satisfaction. The CZ stations were very detailed with pilling design around the edges. When I needed some changes made, (larger CZ flower stations and a diamond cut chain) I sent it back at no cost. Her team went right to work to make my piece EXACTLY what I was looking for at a fair upcharge. I highly recommend JT and will definitely use them again in the future.

    I loved working with Jewelry This to turn my off-beat ideas into keepsake reality: an anniversary necklace for my wife. The process couldn’t have been smoother, faster, or produced better results. My wife loves it and was very impressed … More by what we created working together. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jewelry This to a family member, friend, or acquaintance—or indeed to turn to them again for another gift idea.
