My clients and I are deeply involved in every stage of the collaborative design and redesign process, from initial consultation, to hand sketches, to stone selection, to CAD renderings, to wax molds, to finished pieces. It is a true partnership and an intimate dialogue—where my clients are often co-designers of their own one-of-a-kind pieces. And like my colleagues on Jewelers’ Row in Chicago and New York, I work by appointment only. That’s important. It doesn’t mean you need to be an aristocrat to work with me. But it does mean that you should be treated like one—with a truly private and dedicated experience that involves my full and undivided energy and attention. That is the grand tradition of the old-world European bespoke jeweler, a tradition to which I am ruthlessly faithful. I know of no other way.
