Every piece here started as a real conversation with a real client, with a reason behind it, a story, and a lot of emotion. We’re not showing you a catalog. We’re showing you what’s possible, so you can design your own.
Castle Insignia Pendant — Silver Twin-Tower Design
This pendant recreates a castle emblem in dimensional sterling silver, built from reference photos of an engineering corps pin dating back to 1915. Twin flanking towers rise beside a central gatehouse with an arched doorway and stepped entry, and the window openings are cut all the way through rather than engraved, letting light pass through the structure. After reviewing two finish options, the design was finalized with smooth, highly polished surfaces rather than a textured one. The chain attaches directly to jump rings soldered at the top sides of the outer towers, so the piece hangs flat and sits upright rather than tipping forward. It suits anyone who wants a wearable piece of personal or organizational history rendered with real architectural detail rather than a flat emblem.
Gothic Skull Ring with Opal Eyes — Black Rhodium Silver
This sterling silver ring centers on a dimensional skull motif finished in black rhodium plating, set off by matte-finished wing panels that drape around the sides of the band. Two natural opal cabochons form the skull’s eyes, with a small natural ruby accent near the nose. The band itself carries an open cut-out lattice pattern inspired by a spiderweb, and is left in a polished finish to contrast against the black skull and matte wings. The mixed finish approach — black, matte, and polished all on one piece — was arrived at through several rounds of review, giving the design real depth and definition. It suits someone whose personal style runs toward gothic or alternative aesthetics, and who wants a ring with sculptural presence rather than a traditional band. The open lattice shank keeps the ring from feeling overly heavy despite its bold front-facing design.
Bull Dog Pendant
This bold sterling silver pendant captures the fierce spirit of the bulldog logo with remarkable detail and craftsmanship. Measuring 1.5 inches, the cut-out design brings the mascot vividly to life, showcasing its powerful stance and signature spiked collar. Expertly polished for a striking finish, this unique piece combines rugged character with refined artistry, making it a standout symbol of strength and loyalty, perfect for anyone looking to wear a truly personalized statement.
Fish Hook Pendant — Gold Logo Design with Emerald Eye
This pendant reshapes a logo’s lettering into a wearable emblem: a billfish curving into a fish hook, cast in solid 18k yellow gold with a raised outline that traces the design’s edges. A single round emerald sits as the fish’s eye, the only stone on the piece. It hangs on a 2.5mm rope chain, permanently attached to the bail for security given the gold content, and finished to a polished shine throughout. The design translates a two-dimensional mark into a compact, dimensional pendant suited to daily wear.
Firefly Logo Brooch in Silver and Gold with Diamonds
This firefly brooch translates a hand-drawn property logo into a wearable pin, built from sterling silver open-wire wings, a solid polished 10k gold body, and two round lab-created diamonds set at the antennae tips. The wing outlines were kept intentionally asymmetrical to preserve the character of the original logo drawing, while the curves were smoothed during design review so the piece reads as finished jewelry rather than a literal sketch. At roughly three inches tall, it is sized to be a statement lapel piece rather than a small accent pin. Three lapel-pin posts — at the head, mid-wing, and body — replace a standard single brooch pin so a piece this size stays fully supported across heavier fabrics like a sweater or jacket. It suits anyone who wants a meaningful logo or symbol translated into a substantial, wearable piece rather than a small, easily overlooked pin.
Opal Trident Pendant
This striking men’s pendant showcases a powerful Poseidon’s trident design, expertly crafted in sterling silver with subtle metallic grey accents that enhance its intricate details. At its center lies a mesmerizing water opal, with vibrant blue and green flashes that evoke the depths of the ocean. Sized at 2 inches long, this unique piece balances bold artistry with refined elegance, making it a captivating symbol of strength and individuality.
Yin-Yang Fox Pendant Set — Silver Cut-Out Design
This sterling silver pendant reimagines the yin-yang symbol using two nose-to-tail foxes, cast identically on both front and back. One side of the circular frame is cut away in a crescent shape, leaving an opening designed specifically to connect with two other pendants the client already owns. Oxidized matte detailing sits inside the outer rings and along the foxes’ ears and the small gap between their bodies, creating shadow and depth against the polished silver figures. Made at 20mm in diameter with a thickness slightly greater than a standard coin, the piece was produced as a pair — two nearly identical pendants meant to be worn separately by two different people. The double-sided design and cut-out connector make it as much a piece of functional jewelry engineering as a symbolic one, built to physically link into an existing set rather than stand alone.
Hummingbird Pendant
This captivating 10k yellow gold pendant captures the delicate beauty of a hummingbird, symbolizing hope and optimism. Featuring intricate detailing inspired by original artwork, the piece is accented with vibrant red enamel, reflecting the university’s colors. Crafted with precision and care, this meaningful pendant honors the inauguration of a new university president.
Wine Barrel Pendant
This exquisite sterling silver pendant captures the essence of a traditional Italian balsamic vinegar aging barrel, beautifully transformed into a meaningful and unique jewelry piece. Crafted with intricate dimensional details and a custom barrel-shaped outline, it tells the personal story and passion shared by the wearer and their loved one. The pendant’s smooth matte background enhances the design’s fine lines, making it a timeless symbol of connection, creativity, and cherished memories.
Five Nails Cufflinks — Silver Family Name Design
These cufflinks are built from five individual nail forms, cast to stand alone rather than engraved into a background, and arranged so their points converge at a single center. Each nail head carries five fine etched lines, echoing the detail of a real nail head. The cut-out construction keeps the design light while letting every nail read clearly as its own element. Made in sterling silver with a polished finish, the design was refined over several rounds — from an initial symmetrical sketch to a version where the nail points meet in the center exactly as the client pictured. The piece suits someone who wants a personal or family-rooted symbol on a formal accessory, worn for a wedding or other significant occasion rather than daily use.
Doe and Crescent Moon Pendant — Silver Anniversary Gift
This pendant centers a dimensional doe standing within an open, branch-framed silhouette, with a crescent moon caught on one of the branches above her. The teardrop shape reads as a small nature scene rather than a flat charm, with leaf detailing carved along the border and open space left where the design was intentionally opened up to let the 3D elements stand out. The back carries a short engraved inscription and a date, kept small enough to stay legible without competing with the front. Made in sterling silver on an 18-inch cable chain, it suits anyone who wants a nature motif with genuine dimension rather than a flat engraved disc, and who values a personal detail tucked out of sight on the back.
Pen & Paper Pendant — 18k Gold Writer’s Keepsake
This pendant takes the shape of a written page — a rectangular cut-out frame bordered in a chevron pattern, with rows of squiggled lines standing in for handwriting. A slender three-dimensional pen rests diagonally across the surface, cast with visible facets along its body. The back is left flat and unadorned. Worked entirely in 18k yellow gold, the piece went through several rounds of refinement — from the border pattern to the pen’s proportions and angle — before landing on this composition. It suits anyone drawn to symbols of writing, ideas, or creative work, worn as a personal marker rather than a decorative motif alone.
Pear; Compass Star Pendant
This stunning custom pendant features a striking starburst design crafted in polished silver, beautifully showcasing a luminous pearl at its center. Inspired by a cherished original piece worn daily since 2017, this recreation combines timeless elegance with personalized meaning. The slender compass points radiate gracefully around the pearl, capturing a balance of sophistication and uniqueness.
Cut-Out Logo Pendant
This pendant explores bold typography translated into a clean, cut-out metal form. Clients could adapt scale, font style, edge profile, or metal finish to reflect different branding or personal text while maintaining a strong, graphic presence.
Custom City Map Pendant in Gold with Diamond Markers
This round pendant reproduces a street map as fine engraved linework across a solid gold-plated silver disc, with the road lines darkened to stand out clearly against the polished gold surface. Two natural round diamonds are bezel-set directly into the map at two specific points the client wanted marked. Originally envisioned as an open cut-out design, the piece was adapted to a solid engraved background after production concerns about stability and castability in silver. The result is a wearable, personal map that reads clearly as a real place rather than an abstract pattern, suited to anyone who wants to carry a specific location with them every day.
J & V Monogram Pendant
This custom couples’ pendant is a graceful celebration of partnership, weaving two lives together into a singular, elegant form. Measuring 1.5 inches, the piece is masterfully crafted in sterling silver and polished to a brilliant, mirror-like finish.
The design features a sophisticated interlocking monogram of the initials “J” and “V,” artfully stylized to form the silhouette of a heart. Delicate sweeping curves and fluid flourishes create a sense of movement and harmony, while a smaller heart nestled at the top center serves as the focal point of the union. This open-work filigree style gives the pendant a light, airy feel while maintaining a substantial presence. It is a timeless and romantic keepsake, perfectly capturing the unique bond between two people in a wearable work of art.
Black Enamel Statement Ring — Bold Gold Filigree Band
This men’s ring was designed as a gift, built around a bold square silhouette that frames a round moissanite in a black enamel border. Gold-plated sterling silver carries the design, with open scrollwork filigree cut into the shoulders on either side of the center stone for a detailed, dimensional look from every angle. The combination of a graphic black-and-gold frame with a bright center stone gives the piece a strong, masculine presence without relying on a large stone alone. It suits someone who wants a statement ring with real detail up close, not just from a distance.
Hair Stylist Logo Pendant
A celebration of professional artistry and personal identity, this custom pendant is a tribute to the craft of hair styling. The 1-inch design features a stylized letter “T” merged with a profile silhouette, accented by a pair of shears and topped with an ornate, filigree tiara. Crafted in 10kt yellow gold with a high-polish finish, this piece serves as a sophisticated emblem of a stylist’s dedication to their trade and the regal touch they bring to every client.
Trucker Chick
A radiant symbol of confidence and self-expression, this custom pendant is a brilliant celebration of personal allure and inner fire. The design captures a graceful, reclining silhouette that embodies a spirit of unapologetic beauty and strength, serving as a wearable reminder of the light one carries within. It is a striking piece that turns an iconic form into a sophisticated statement of identity and style.
Measuring a delicate 25mm, the pendant is masterfully cast in solid 10kt yellow gold, providing a warm and enduring foundation for its spectacular finish. The entire figure is meticulously pavé-set with a shimmering array of lab-grown diamonds, creating a continuous surface of brilliance that catches the light from every angle. This exquisite combination of precious gold and high-clarity stones results in a luxurious heirloom that honors an individual’s unique journey with timeless elegance and modern flair.
Surname Pendant – Mrs Wrights
This bold and playful pendant radiates personality and charm. Crafted in 14kt rose gold, the 1.5-inch design spells out “Mrs. Wright” in a fun, rounded font that balances elegance with a touch of whimsy. Sparkling lab-grown diamonds accent the “M” and “W,” adding brilliant contrast against the warm rose gold finish. Two garnet gemstones—set within the letters “R” and “I”—bring a vibrant pop of deep red, symbolizing love and passion. A celebration of individuality and confidence, this pendant captures both modern luxury and heartfelt sentiment.
Bezel Set Yellow Sapphire Engagement Ring
This stunning white gold engagement ring features an oval yellow brilliant-cut sapphire, radiating warmth and light from its full bezel setting. The golden hue of the sapphire contrasts beautifully with the cool tone of the white gold, creating a striking and elegant balance. The band is crafted with a graceful, curved silhouette, allowing the sapphire to nestle perfectly into the lowest curve for a seamless, organic flow. Intricate decorative detailing adorns the band, with artful cutouts that trace swirling and linear patterns, adding depth and dimension.
Custom Number Five Ring
This bold sterling silver ring showcases a striking design centered around the number five,. The number is artfully cut out, creating open spaces within its form for a modern and airy aesthetic. The band connects to the top left side of the number and spirals gracefully around, rejoining at the bottom right, forming a continuous and sculptural silhouette. With its substantial thickness, the ring carries a strong and confident presence while maintaining clean, fluid lines. The high-polish finish enhances the bold geometry of the design, catching light beautifully from every angle.
Teamster Logo Pendant
This remarkable custom pendant features the iconic teamsters logo, expertly crafted in radiant 10k yellow gold. At approximately one inch in size, the pendant showcases six meticulously rendered spokes encircled by the inscription “International Brotherhood of Teamsters” and the union number “282” at the bottom, honoring the client’s unique connection. The design is crowned with two detailed horse heads, symbolizing strength and unity.
Art Deco Black Opal Ring with Custom-Cut Ruby & Sapphire
This ring was built around a single boulder opal, prong-set in a raised bezel so the stone reads as the clear focal point of the design. Radiating outward from the setting, custom-cut ruby and lab-grown purple sapphire accents step down in size along an Art Deco-inspired linework pattern that wraps the shank on both sides. The recessed geometric channels between the metal lines are filled with black enamel for contrast, and a matching pierced lattice grille lines the interior of the band. The design was developed collaboratively over an extended period, with the client supplying the center opal and working through custom stone-cutting, prong styling, and finish details before the ring was cast in 14k yellow gold. A two-line inscription is engraved inside the band. The result is a dense, dimensional ring built for someone who wanted their own design vision executed with precision.
White Eagle & Celtic Knot Pendant — Two Heritages, One Piece
This pendant combines two national symbols into a single cut-out design: a crowned white eagle, the heraldic emblem of Poland, standing above an interlocking Celtic triquetra knot representing Ireland and Scotland. Cast in 14k white gold, the piece is fully open-worked so light passes through the wing feathers and knotwork rather than sitting against a solid backing. At approximately one inch in length, it is sized to be a clear, readable statement piece rather than a delicate accent. The pendant was designed without a chain, intended to be worn on an existing white gold chain, and suits anyone who wants a wearable expression of blended family heritage rather than a single-culture symbol alone.
Jerusalem Cross Signet Rings in 24k Gold, Family Set
This set of four signet rings recreates a single silver original in solid 24 karat gold, each face carved with the same cut-out Jerusalem cross design — one larger cross flanked by four smaller crosses in the quadrants. The client supplied his own gold bullion, which was melted down, weighed, and cast into the four rings after the original ring was shipped in for reference. Each ring is engraved on the interior band with a family member’s initials in a block font, since the softness of pure 24k gold required a firmer engraving approach than the script style originally requested. Sized to fit four different wearers, the set functions as a shared symbol of faith passed between a father and his family.
Kauai Pendant
This beautifully crafted 14K yellow gold pendant captures the unique shape of Kauai, the lush and picturesque Hawaiian island. A small, delicately engraved heart marks the special location where the recipient’s cherished vacation home resides, symbolizing their deep connection to the island’s beauty and serenity. On the back, a meaningful date is engraved, commemorating the day this heartfelt gift was given, alongside a personal note of love. This pendant is more than just jewelry—it is a timeless keepsake.
Impact Driver
Crafted in sterling silver, this 25 mm pendant is a bold tribute to the power and precision of the Milwaukee impact driver. Designed in a half-3D style with a flat back for comfortable wear, it captures the essence of craftsmanship and durability. Meticulously detailed, this pendant is perfect for professionals, tool enthusiasts, and those who appreciate industrial-inspired design. A statement of strength and skill, it’s a sleek and wearable reminder of the tools that build and create.
Sleek & Dynamic
This striking pendant is designed to honor a life partner, featuring their initials in a bold, futuristic style. The letters are sharp and dynamic, with pointed ends that create a sleek, modern aesthetic. Connected seamlessly, the initials form a cohesive and powerful design, cut out to allow for negative space that enhances their bold appearance.
Flying Rabbit Memorial Pendant in 18k Yellow Gold
This pendant takes the form of a rabbit in flight, wings outstretched and feathered in raised, dimensional detail across a cut-out silhouette. The front is fully three-dimensional in profile while the back stays flat, engraved with a script monogram. Cast in solid 18k yellow gold and paired with a matching cable chain, the piece was designed from a single reference photo and a family nickname rather than a stock motif, giving it a specific, personal silhouette rather than a generic bunny charm. It suits anyone who wants a memorial piece that reads first as a beautiful pendant and only on closer look reveals its meaning.
placeholder
This pendant takes a personal monogram and turns it into an openwork geometric silhouette — two stylized letters overlapping inside a teardrop-shaped frame, cast in solid 14k yellow gold. The design went through several rounds of refinement to get the negative space right: small enough to keep the pendant compact, open enough that the cut-out gaps read clearly rather than closing in on themselves. The result is a piece that reads as an abstract geometric shape from a distance and reveals the personal initials up close. It suits anyone who wants a monogram piece that doesn’t look like a typical nameplate — something more architectural and minimal, sized to sit close to the body on a fine chain.
Bird Logo Pendant
This unique pendant feature the next2play logo with a p rise
Pheonix. Measuring one inch in size, this custom logo pendant features intricate cut-out details that add depth and texture, complemented by a sophisticated polished finish. Perfect for anyone seeking a unique piece of jewelry that tells a story of their business accomplishments.
This pendant takes the form of a tiny curled figure, cast in 10k yellow gold at a scale close to seven weeks of pregnancy. Rather than an open cut-out, the design was reworked into a solid dimensional shape so the small details of the form could survive casting without being lost. It hangs from a fixed bail on a cable chain, with the option to source a shorter or different-metal chain afterward. The piece is designed to be worn daily as a quiet, wearable keepsake rather than a decorative statement.
Silver Web Drop Earrings — Open Lattice Design
This pair of drop earrings recreates a lost earring’s open web pattern in polished sterling silver. Each earring is a rounded, slightly convex disc filled with an irregular, organic lattice of cut-out lines, giving the piece a lightweight, airy look despite its substantial 38mm diameter. The lever-back style hooks were chosen specifically for secure, comfortable daily wear. The design was rebuilt from photographs after the original earring could not be sourced for direct reference, and the final size was refined through physical resin models to match the wearer’s memory of the original piece’s scale.
Bd Logo
This custom pendant showcases a unique design, featuring a playful yet sophisticated character crafted in 14k yellow gold made of the letters Bd. Adorned with striking black diamonds in the eyes, this piece exudes elegance and charm, making it a perfect conversation starter. Measuring approximately .75 inches, its cut-out details create a captivating visual effect, offering a contemporary twist on classic logo design.
Tattoo Logo Pendant
This stunning custom pendant showcases a intricately designed rotary tattoo machine, skillfully crafted in sterling silver. The cut-out and dimensional details bring the piece to life, capturing the essence of the client’s logo. Measuring approximately 3 inches in length, this personalized jewelry embodies a unique blend of artistry and craftsmanship, reflecting a true passion for their craft.
T Brand Pendent
This custom pendant features a bold brand design, with a horseshoe at its center, symbolizing luck and prosperity. The letters “T” and “F” are intricately integrated within the horseshoe, creating a unique and meaningful connection. The cut-out design enhances the pendant’s elegance, with the horseshoe and letters outlined in sparkling round diamonds, set in platinum, adding a touch of luxury. The piece is crafted in high-quality material and is 1 inch in size, making it a statement piece. The pendant is completed with a chain connected to each side, offering a versatile and stylish accessory.
A6 Pendant
Created as a memorial for a beloved brother, this custom pendant serves as a heartfelt tribute. Crafted in 10k yellow gold, it features the letters “A6” cut out in an elegant and bold design. The pendant is enhanced with a striking purple enamel outline around the letters, and an intricate “X” embedded within the letter “A,” adding a personalized touch. Measuring 1.5 inches in height, excluding the custom bail, this piece combines emotional significance and timeless beauty, ensuring the memory of a loved one is cherished always.
Cut-Out Corvette Pendant — 14k Gold Retirement Gift
This pendant is cast entirely in the shape of a convertible sports car, rendered in polished 14k yellow gold with no background plate — the car itself is the silhouette. Fine surface detail carries through the design: door lines, headlight shapes, wheel spokes, and the open-top convertible profile are all captured in the casting. A wide bail at the top accommodates a substantial chain, and the piece measures approximately one inch across, sized for comfortable everyday wear. It suits anyone who wants a specific vehicle rendered as a wearable keepsake rather than a generic car charm.
Yin-Yang, Peace & Knotwork Trio Pendant in Sterling Silver
This sterling silver pendant brings together three separate symbols the client wanted to wear as one connected piece: an intricate Celtic-style knot design, a yin-yang disc, and a peace symbol, all contained within a rounded triangular cut-out frame. The yin-yang sits at the visual center, with the knot and peace symbol positioned to its sides as originally specified. Rather than using enamel, the yin-yang’s two halves are distinguished with a high-polish plain metal surface on one side and a contrasting matte finish on the other, keeping the piece entirely tonal in silver. The pendant hangs from a thin sterling silver rope chain sized to sit at the center of the chest. It suits someone who wants several personal symbols read as a single, connected design rather than scattered separately, and who prefers a clean silver finish over enamel color.
Initial & Heart Lapel Pin in White Gold with Rubies
This lapel pin takes the classic “I ❤ [Name]” motif and renders it as an open, see-through design in 14k white gold. The letters I and A are lined with small round natural diamonds, while the heart between them is densely set with natural rubies chosen for a rich, saturated red rather than the pinkish tone common to lab-grown material. The design went through a deliberate simplification: an early version had a solid background connecting all the elements, but the piece was reworked into a cut-out structure so the letters and heart connect directly to one another with no surrounding metal. Sized to about three-quarters of an inch — close to the size of a quarter — it’s built to be noticed without being oversized. The open structure keeps the piece feeling light while the pave and channel stone-setting keeps the sparkle dense across a small surface.
Otto Name Ring — Cut-Out Letters in 14k Yellow Gold
This band is built entirely from negative space — the letters O-T-T-O are cut directly through a solid yellow gold band rather than applied on top of it, so the name reads as an open silhouette rather than a raised inscription. The two T’s were specifically designed to share vertical lines with the band structure, creating a seamless, illusion-like transition rather than four separate applied letters. The O’s were refined during the design phase from a rounder shape into a more oval form after the client felt the initial circles looked dropped-in rather than integrated. The piece went through several rounds of sketch revisions — including a version with seven gemstones lined across the top, one for each embryo in the couple’s path to their son — before the client ultimately decided to keep the band stone-free for a cleaner look. The finished ring is a substantial 5-6mm width in polished 14k yellow gold, sized for the wearer’s hand.
