Dog engagement ring
The Dog Bone Diamond
A customer asked for something no jeweler had made: a diamond cut like a bone, held by two dogs. Andrew rendered the stone and the dogs first, then the ring was cut and set in New York.
Free design session
Design it live with Andrew.
Every custom piece begins with a free live session. You share what you are picturing, he shapes it in real time, and nothing is made until you approve the 3D rendering. This form gets you both ready.
Book a free design session
Tell Andrew what you are picturing.
Six short steps, about five minutes. Fill in as much or as little as you like. Andrew reads every answer before your call, so the session starts with the design, not the basics.
Real custom pieces
The rendering is what you get.
Every custom piece follows the same arc: your idea, a 3D rendering you approve, then the finished piece.
Custom animal
A rabbit, for one customer
Not a cat, not a dog. The customer sent photos of their rabbit, Andrew sculpted it, and it now holds the stone the way the cats do on the signature ring.
The full custom process
What happens, step by step.
These six steps are for fully custom pieces designed with Andrew. Only want a new breed or a different stone on a catalog design? That is the personalize path: no session and no rendering. Order the design, add your notes, and Andrew confirms before it is made.
