Jewelry that's designed and created just for you.

Jewelry that's as unique as you

Jewelry holds special meaning. It's more than the sparkles and shine. It's about the loved ones we associate with it. It's about the special events commemorated, the milestones and accomplishments.

Jewelry that's mass produced can't tell your personal story the way that individually designed and crafted jewelry can.

We design and create your jewelry one piece at a time, with care and attention to detail and quality.

We believe that whether you're starting a brand-new custom piece or transforming existing jewelry, the design should always be thoughtful and filled with meaning.

Stacy's ring: Stacy wanted to update her original engagement ring. Her gorgeous new Kissing Ring was created using the sapphire and 2 diamonds from her old ring, adding extra meaning and sentimental value.

Jewelry Makeovers

The process for a makeover is just like any other custom jewelry project except you're resetting your diamonds or gemstones and/or repurposing your own gold.

Turn your old gold jewelry into any karat or color of gold! With "same molecule" refining, you get back the same 24K gold that was in your sentimental jewelry.

We never charge a "corking fee" for resetting your diamonds and gemstones!

I went to Jewelsmith to have the diamond from my mother's engagement ring made into a pendant necklace. They made me feel like royalty from the moment I walked in the door. I felt like part of the design team as my piece was being made from scratch! There were no surprises. They helped me understand how to ask for my heart's desire, and the final product is amazing. Fantastic customer service, no upselling. I love the fact that Jewelsmith supports community arts organizations as well. Brava!

I LOVE Jewelsmith!!! I got to get the ring of my dreams created by Tiffany and crafted by Phil!!!! The whole designing process with Tiffany was so fun and collaborative! She truly read my mind and created my perfect ring! I felt like she was just as invested in this project as I was! She's a rockstar!! And Phil's craftsmanship is second to none!! I have 3 of his rings and are so proud to wear each one!! Thank you Jewelsmith!!
