Commissions
Three ways to begin.
Fine jewelry only, made in natural diamonds, fine colored stones, platinum, and 18k gold. Most clients come to Shari for a ring and return for every milestone after.
Engagement rings
A natural diamond chosen with Shari under the loupe, set in platinum or 18k gold and proportioned for one hand.
Custom fine jewelry
Pendants, earrings, bracelets, and bands designed from a first conversation rather than a catalog.
Heirloom redesign
Inherited stones reset into something you will wear every day, keeping the part of the piece that carries the story.
The craft
Every stone is chosen under the loupe.
Shari trained with the GIA and spent years at Macy's and David Yurman before opening her own studio. She works in natural diamonds first, sources fine colored stones, and explains each choice in plain language so the decision is yours.

The design studio
See it before Shari makes it.
Describe the piece you have in mind, or add a photo of a stone or an heirloom. The design studio returns four views of the idea that you can refine and send to Shari ahead of your appointment.
Concepts are a starting point for the conversation. Shari confirms the stones, construction, and price before anything is made.

A jeweler families return to for decades.
My family has been going to Shari for over 30 years ... she executed it flawlessly.
Working with Shari was an absolute joy!
By private appointment
Begin with a conversation.
Appointments are private and unhurried. Bring a stone, an heirloom, a sketch, or only the idea. Shari will listen first, then talk through what is possible.
