Custom designed wedding & engagement rings

Our Services

Our reforge program allows you to transform treasured metals—old gold, silver, broken jewellery, or heirlooms—into a new handcrafted creation. Alternatively, qualifying materials may be exchanged for in-store credit, offering a meaningful way to honour the past while creating something you will truly love.

REPAIRS

REFORGE

Our Jewellery repair services cover everything from simple adjustments to complex restorations. Whether it's resizing a beloved ring, repairing a delicate clasp, or revitalizing an heirloom piece, I use a blend of traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology to deliver results that not only meet but exceed your expectations.

Our custom engagement and wedding ring services guide you through every step of the design process, from initial inspiration to the final handcrafted piece. Whether you envision something timeless or entirely unique, each ring is thoughtfully designed and carefully made to reflect your story, your style, and a lifetime of meaning.

Inspired by the Sea

Dive into our Nautical Jewellery Collection, where the spirit of the sea meets handcrafted artistry. Drawing inspiration from tides, tidal pools, and coastal wanderings, this collection celebrates the beauty and mystery of ocean life — from starfish and sand dollars to humpback whales, crab claws, compasses, and nautilus shells.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and expertly made to capture the texture, rhythm, and wonder of the West Coast shoreline. Whether you’re seeking a meaningful gift for a sea lover or a wearable keepsake that evokes salt air and surf, these unique nautical treasures bring the coast wherever you go.
