Expertise

I’ve been passionate about and have loved creating jewelry for as long as I can remember. I’m a GIA Graduate bench jeweler and have a GIA Graduate Gemologist diploma. I’ve worked both behind the jewelry bench and behind the sales counter. 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.

    I could not be happier! I had been working with Tricia in this process, and she made my vision come true. I designed my wife's wedding ring and band with Tricia putting those thoughts into reality. I was not the easiest to work with. … More Tricia was patient, kind, and responsive. I needed a few corrections made over time and they did it without charge. I had my ring resized 3 times and the original design was altered for more stability. They made it happen without difficulty. We are so happy. I would recommend everyone to use this company. The quality is high and the craftmanship is flawless.

    Thank you again!

    I had an incredible experience with JewelryThis, especially working with Tricia. I had a very specific vision for my ring and looked everywhere online but couldn’t find anything that truly checked all my boxes. Tricia listened so carefully, … More understood every modification I wanted, and truly brought my dream piece to life. The final result is beyond amazing — even better than I imagined — and I absolutely love wearing it. If you’re considering a custom piece, I can’t recommend JewelryThis enough!

    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.
