Recent Custom Work: Winter 2025-2026

Custom work has become an important part of Talisman Fine Jewelry - i.e. creating one-of-a-kind pieces with clients who have a vision to bring something to life. Many times I’m even able to reuse the client’s own family gold that’s been sitting unworn, giving these pieces new life. Below are some recent custom projects that I’m especially proud of. Shout out to my clients and collectors for supporting my work!

A stunning custom engagement ring for Phil and Alex, featuring 2.4 carats of reclaimed diamonds in a recycled yellow gold bezel and claw prong setting, designed for ultimate security and durability

And for the lucky bride, a matching necklace with his mother’s own diamond to boot

A bold, delightfully hefty vintage chain from client Mindy, which I added a custom 18k yellow gold spiral toggle clasp to

Speaking of delightfully hefty, I created this chunky tapered donut band for my wonderful patron Jen in recycled 14k gold

These stunning earrings were an anniversary gift for a couple who have been cherished longtime clients of mine. They feature two incredible marquise cut diamonds in an ‘eye and teardrop’ design that was imbued with the energy of Horus, the Egyptian god of the sky, protection, and healing. They hold special meaning for the recipient.

Sometimes “custom” can simply mean imagining a piece from the Talisman Fine Jewelry collection in a new material or with added, customized details - in this case I cast the Held Pendant in sterling silver and flush set it with a black spinel for my client Emily.
