Many jewelry customers realize that many products are not what they appear to be.  Here's what you should know about our products:

Everything we make is individually hand crafted, much as they were made many years ago.  No assembly line.  No stamping by heavy machinery (the way coins are made).  A highly talented artist hand carves the original design in wax.  A casting and mold specialist then creates the molds and the casting.  The casting then passes on to a very expert and experienced finishing specialist.  This person does all of the finishing work on every piece that we build.  Our jewelers are artists.  We build one piece at at time, start to finish.  Each step in the process is performed by people who are true masters at their crafts.

Despite the beauty of our photographs they do not do justice to the actual beauty of our jewelry.  This is especially true with regard to color.  It is virtually impossible to render exact colors on web pages so that they will show up accurately on the monitors of our visitors.  This is true for all images displayed on the web.  The future may be different when technology improves, but for now color rendition is not what we would all like it to be.  The "real thing" is far better looking than it is portrayed on our pages.
