Nikolina photographed her rings beautifully in nature. The engagement ring Timeless II is in palladium with a rose-cut yellow diamond center stone and over 1 1/3 ct.total weight of diamonds. The bubble ring Precious XXI is in white gold with diamonds.

These wedding photographs from Nan & John are taken in Wyoming. They made an appointment to come from Richmond for Nan's commission wedding bands and a matching pendant made in gold with sapphires and diamonds. We created two matching bands to go around Nan's unique engagement ring.

Here is a photo of the happy couples hands! Congratulations to Nan and John from Richmond!

Pictured here is a commission earring made in white gold, using Sumiko's triangular diamond to create the point for a completely unique arrow earring.

Molly & John were passing through Old Town Alexandria traveling on their way back to Washington state when they stopped by our studio in the Torpedo Factory. They decided to commission rings to wear with their wedding bands for their 25th wedding anniversary.

On the left is a beautiful image of a wedding ring commission that I created for a bride, pictured with the groom's band made by Marlene True. Commission LVIII is in platinum with 18K yellow gold, a 1.55 carat yellow diamond, and 1/5 carat white diamonds.

The middle image is of my client Paul wearing both of his commission rings. The ring on the left hand side is made in palladium with over 3 ¼ ct. of gray and white diamonds. The silver ring on the right has around 1 ct. of diamonds. Love it!

Pictured above are some creative photos from a happy lady with her engagement ring. The ring is Commission XLIV, a 14K white gold engagement ring with a 1 carat center sapphire provided by the client and 15 pt. side diamonds.

This is Commission LXX, made using a client's family gold and a family red star sapphire stone. The image in the middle is a beautiful photo from the client wearing her commission wedding band.

Here are a few images of a happy bride wearing a 14K rose gold commission wedding band I made, along with the commission process, A Ring in Three Steps:
The first step is the client's sketch for an engagement ring, with the vision of combining three rings into one; the second is my drawing as approved by the client; and the third is the finished ring in red, gold, and different gem stones, as the client requested. The idea of combining three rings into one was complex and challenging.
I did it, the client is very happy, and the good news is that his fiancée said yes! Congratulations to the happy couple!

This Commission Mokume Gane (mixed metals) ring with diamonds made it safely to my client Machteld's hand in the Netherlands.

The image in the middle above shows Branka from California wearing her beautiful new blackened sterling silver bracelet from the Genius of Nature Collection. I used diamonds from a pair of her earrings to create this look.
Pictured on the right is a sterling silver bracelet with diamonds from the Spanish Steps collection, which also looks great with the blackener option!

Above is a ring from the Precious Collection, along with some beautiful wedding images from the client. The engagement ring is platinum with 1/3 carat side diamonds and a 1 carat center stone, shown with a platinum men's "river" wedding band from the Genius of Nature Collection for the groom.

Here is a photo of the groom from the wedding above, excited to wear his cuff links from the Genius of Nature Collection. They were a wedding gift to match the texture on his wedding band. All the groomsmen wore matching cuff links. Thank you so much to Dan and Mathann for giving me an opportunity to be such a big part of this special day & for the beautiful photographs!

Before and After: Here I transformed diamonds from an old family ring (on the right), provided by a client from Austrailia, to create something more modern based on a ring from Genius of Nature.

So nice to see such happy faces in this client photo collage! Raf organized a surprise proposal to Aimee at the same place in New York where they had their first date several years ago.
