Expertise

I’ve been passionate about and have loved creating jewelry for as long as I can remember.  Some of my first memories include crafting a macaroni necklace in preschool, where I was the only one in the class that filled the entire string.  I’m a GIA Graduate Bench Jeweler and a GIA Graduate Gemologist.   With over 15 years in the jewelry industry,   I’ve worked in a variety of capacities, including sales person, repair coordinator and bench jeweler.  My favorite moment is seeing people experience joy in their new jewelry.

Fondest Jewelrythis Journeys & My Most Treasured Jewelry Piece

Maria's Quest
I am moved when helping clients create jewelry that holds a meaningful and powerful message to them. This pendant does just that. The V for victory with a Sunflower set upon it and filling the void of the V. An amethyst in the center is the birthstone. The Sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, V is for the victory of the client's fiance surviving crossing the country to reach freedom.
Giraffe Engagement Ring
Giraffe Love
When guiding a client with the design of their custom engagement ring I always ask them; 'What inspired them / their partner'?. How can we include memories and symbols to make their ring uniquely theirs. This client shared their partners absolute love for giraffes and so we knew we had to included them in her very special and totally unique one-of-a-kind engagement ring. 
Most Treasured Piece   
My most treasured piece of jewelry is this antique glass opal pendant passed on to me from my Grandma. It was a gift from to her from a dear friend.  She would often take it out and show it to me when I visited her. 

Let's try beat my last client's review

    First of all Tricia is AMAZING! She literally responded to every question, every hesitation, everything. Responses were fast, and she really took the time to listen to my needs and brought my mother in laws ring back to life for me. This … More ring meant the world to me when my husband gave it to me, and losing it was nothing short of devastating. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for Tricia and her team for helping me come as close as possible to the original. I am so happy!

    I lost my favorite 18K gold necklace that was purchased by my Mom in Venice, Italy & I was so sad & down about. After some online research, I came across Jewelrythis. I was able to send them pictures of my lost necklace & pendant … More & from the pictures they created a 3D sketch for me too see & make any changes. They were very easy to work with & responded quickly each time. My pendant was created exactly like the original & they customized my 18k gold snake chain to match the pendant. I highly recommend them & will definitely be a returning customer.
