A customer with a love for brooches wanted something truly unique. Inspired by a tulip, we designed a custom brooch featuring vibrant sapphire and sparkling diamonds, creating a piece that feels both floral and timeless.

A bold, high-fashion take on iconic figural motifs, reimagined with exceptional gemstones. Inspired by antique royal insect pin, our client wanted a modern heirloom that made an unforgettable visual statement.

It’s a piece built for the collector who loves conversational, high-impact statement jewelry.

Inspired by contemporary award-show tailoring where traditional neckties are replaced by striking lapel jewelry, a client wanted a modular set to pin against a classic tuxedo.

A client approached us wanting to capture the fleeting magic of a hummingbird hovering over a blossoming garden.

A passionate music collector and patron of the arts commissioned this piece to honor their lifelong love of rock and roll. Inspired by iconic electric guitar silhouettes, our artisans hand-sculpted this miniature instrument out of solid 18K yellow gold, complete with an immaculate high-polish finish, detailed frets, and precise hardware styling.   

Inspired by an antique emerald and diamond brooch online, we recreated and modernized the piece with a red ruby center for this custom high jewelry brooch.

A collector came to us after seeing a rare Art Deco archive piece at a major auction house, wanting to capture its dramatic silhouette but with a sharper, cleaner modern aesthetic. Our artisans refined the geometric lines, pairing crisp, architectural baguette-cut diamonds with an intense, vivid marquise-cut blue sapphire drop. Designed with a secure dual-function mechanism, it bridges the gap between heritage estate grandeur and sleek contemporary menswear or evening tailoring.
