Symbolic

This engagement ring centers a kite-shaped tanzanite in a deep violet-blue, flanked on either side by a round emerald. Small diamond accents are set into the shoulders of the 14k yellow gold band, which carries a knotwork-inspired texture along its length. The ring is the middle piece of a planned three-ring set, designed to stack together, though it also reads as a complete, wearable engagement ring on its own. The combination of a colored center stone with emerald accents gives it a distinctive look for anyone drawn to nature-inspired, non-traditional engagement ring design.

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.

This 14k yellow gold pendant merges three meaningful symbols into one cohesive design: a cross, a Naval Academy-style anchor, and a hockey stick, with the number 11 engraved on the stick’s blade. The elements overlap and interlock so the piece reads as a single unified form rather than three separate charms stacked together. Finished in a high polish for a clean, durable surface intended for daily wear, it hangs on a sturdy curb chain built to hold up under an active lifestyle. The design was refined through several rounds of feedback — sizing, chain thickness, and placement of the number were all adjusted based on how the recipient actually lives and moves. It suits someone who wants a single wearable symbol for faith, service, and identity rather than separate pieces for each.

This piece pairs a pave-set diamond infinity symbol with a single bezel-set diamond stud, the two connected by a pair of fine draped chains that meet at the bottom center. Set in 14k white gold, the infinity motif was sized down from a standard dime-sized reference to match an existing pendant the client already owns, so the two pieces could be worn together as a coordinated set. The design was adapted from a crown-and-chain inspiration image, with the crown replaced by the infinity symbol at the client’s request. It suits anyone looking for a distinctive lapel or brooch-style accent for a formal or milestone occasion, rather than an everyday piece.

This signet ring reinterprets the Gold Star family pin as a wearable, durable piece for daily use. A wide sterling silver band carries a round 14k solid gold top, where a raised gold star sits against deep purple enamel inside a hand-detailed laurel wreath border. The two-metal construction was chosen specifically for wear resistance: rather than gold plating over silver, the top is cast in solid gold so the color never fades or wears through. The design keeps the emblem true to the official Gold Star pin’s proportions and color while widening the band and scaling the piece for a masculine hand. It suits someone who wants to carry a recognizable, meaningful symbol every day without worrying about upkeep.

This ring recreates a family engagement ring that belonged to a client’s grandmother, rebuilt as two matching pieces from photographs and video rather than the physical original. An emerald-cut black onyx center stone sits in a white gold diamond-shaped frame with a single round diamond accent, flanked by ornate scrolling yellow gold shoulders on either side of the band. The design was refined during the render stage to bring the prong line flush against the stone and to shift the framing stone’s cut closer to the diamond-like shape seen in the original. Made in 14k yellow gold, the two rings were sized differently — one size 6 and one size 7 — so each recipient received a piece fitted to them individually. It suits someone looking to carry a piece of family history forward in a way that is wearable rather than kept in a box.

This Star of David pendant is built from two overlapping triangles in 14k white gold, each outlined in a continuous row of pave-set diamonds. One triangle is set with colorless diamonds and the other with royal blue diamonds, creating deliberate contrast between the two interlocking shapes. At just under an inch across, the piece uses 102 round stones totaling roughly 2 carats, hand-set by a single jeweler. It suits someone looking for a religious or cultural symbol rendered as a genuine statement piece rather than a small everyday charm.

This lariat necklace was built around a circular pierced hoop in sterling silver, textured to read as hand-forged rather than machine-finished. Round and pear-shaped garnets are bezel-set along the hoop and down the two lariat ends, their domed profiles chosen deliberately to suggest droplets rather than faceted gemstones. A matte finish covers the piece throughout, with oxidization worked into the crevices and pierced cutouts to give it the look of a worn, older object rather than a new one. The design was developed as a companion piece to a matching pair of earrings, sharing the same garnet stones so the two pieces read as a set. It suits someone drawn to symbolic, slightly gothic design language who wants a necklace with real presence rather than a delicate everyday chain.

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.

This sterling silver bangle bracelet centers on a sculpted pair of clasped hands, inspired by the Unison Sign, meeting at the front of the band as its focal design element. The rest of the bangle carries an engraved phrase about protecting what matters enough to give everything for, running continuously around the band. Designed to slide on and off the wrist without a clasp, the piece has a smooth, polished finish and a balanced, symmetrical profile. It suits someone who wants a meaningful design element paired with a personal engraved message, worn as a quiet daily reminder rather than a statement piece.

This men’s signet ring was designed to honor both a Greek heritage and an Irish one in a single piece. A dimensional scorpion sits at the center of the round face, scaled and curled so its tail wraps close to the body rather than projecting outward, set against a deep blue enamel field and bordered by a continuous Greek key pattern. Two small round sapphires flank the scorpion’s claws for color and symbolic accent. The sides of the ring carry the personal heritage detail: one flank is worked with a Greek Hercules knot integrated with the alpha and omega symbols, and the other carries a Greek-style triskele layered with an ouroboros serpent. Cast in sterling silver with a mix of raised dimensional work and open filigree detailing, the ring reads as a substantial, classic men’s signet piece rather than a delicate accessory. It suits a wearer who wants a ring dense with personal meaning rather than a single simple motif, and who is comfortable with a bold, sculptural presence on the hand.

This pendant pairs an architectural torii-gate arch with a round coin-style medallion hanging beneath it, both cast in 14k yellow gold plated silver. The medallion carries a five-petal floral family crest in raised relief against a stippled, textured field, bordered by a polished rim — a design refined from an initial engraved concept back to the raised style of the original reference images the client provided. The gate spans roughly three inches, with the coin sized to just over an inch, on a 16-inch cable chain. It suits anyone who wants a family emblem worn as a wearable piece of heritage rather than tucked away, with the raised detail giving the crest genuine dimension and texture rather than a flat engraving.

This sterling silver pendant takes the classic sun-face motif and renders it with real dimension — a sculpted face with open eyes and a closed mouth sits at the center of a ring of pointed rays that alternate between straight and gently curved shapes. The piece was designed to attach to a chain the client already owns, so it carries only a top ring rather than a full bail. The back of the pendant is engraved with a short location phrase, a personal touch that isn’t visible from the front. At 47mm across, it reads as a substantial, sculptural centerpiece rather than a delicate accent, well suited to anyone who wants a mythic or celestial motif with real presence.

This pendant translates a traditional shield motif into a compact 18k yellow gold piece, sized to sit close to the body on a chain. The marquise shield shape carries hand-engraved geometric triangle patterning and a raised center ridge, echoing the look of a hide-covered warrior shield. Two spear-like elements are set behind the shield, crossed and adjusted to sit equidistant from the shield’s centerline, with one spear tip pointed downward per the client’s specific direction. The design went through several rounds of sketch review before the client approved the final placement of the spears and the removal of an added upper element that didn’t belong. It suits someone who wants a compact, wearable piece that carries cultural symbolism and geometric detail rather than a stone-focused design.

This signet ring merges two professions into one design: pharmacy and information technology. A black onyx face, cut with a hole through its center, holds a yellow gold Bowl of Hygeia symbol riveted through from the underside — the traditional emblem of the pharmacy profession rendered in a raised, dimensional form. Around the band, a circuit-board pattern is engraved and filled with black enamel, tracing lines and nodes that reference the wearer’s work in IT. The ring is crafted in 14k white gold, chosen to sit alongside the wearer’s existing white-gold wedding band, a black band worn for protection, and a pewter family heirloom ring passed down from a grandfather. The penny-sized signet face and complex two-metal construction make this a substantial, wearable piece designed to carry personal and professional identity in equal measure.
