Custom fine jewelry · New York City
A custom piece should feel unmistakably yours.
Work directly with Shari on an engagement ring, pendant, bracelet, earrings, or another piece of fine jewelry, shaped around your story, your aesthetic, and the way you want to wear it.
Designed from scratch
Begin with a new idea and shape every meaningful detail, from the stone to the profile of the band.
Remounted with purpose
Give a stone you already own a setting that belongs in your life now.
Guided by expertise
Understand the diamond, metal, and setting choices before you decide, explained in plain language.
Materials
Natural diamonds first.
- Natural diamonds
- Round brilliants, ovals, emerald cuts, cushions, and old cuts, selected with Shari under the loupe.
- Fine colored stones
- Sapphires and emeralds, chosen in person for depth of color and life in the stone.
- Platinum and 18k gold
- Platinum, 18k yellow, and 18k rose gold, chosen for how the piece will be worn every day.
Investment
Every piece is quoted individually, once Shari understands what you have in mind and what it means to you. Budget is part of the conversation, never a gate.
Shari talks through budget privately at the first appointment and confirms the price before anything is made. Book a private appointment
The custom process
Clarity at every important decision.
- 01
Begin with what you have
Bring a stone, an old piece, reference images, a sketch, or simply the feeling you want the finished jewelry to hold.
- 02
Define the direction
Discuss proportion, metal, gemstones, budget, timing, and the details that will make the piece feel like yours.
- 03
Explore the idea together
Share inspiration, explore four-view concepts, and describe what you want changed. Shari helps resolve the design and practical details with you.
- 04
Craft and refine
Move into production only after the important design decisions feel resolved.
Common questions
Start wherever you are.
Can I bring my own diamond or gemstone?
Yes. Shari works with loose stones, inherited jewelry, and stones removed from pieces you no longer wear, as well as newly sourced materials.
Do I need to arrive with a finished design?
No. A photograph, a rough idea, or a description of the person and occasion can be enough to begin.
Can New Jersey clients work with Shari?
Yes. The studio is in New York City and serves clients from both New York and New Jersey by appointment.
How are budget and timing handled?
Tell Shari the budget you want to work within at the start. She helps you explore the tradeoffs in stones, metals, and settings, then confirms pricing and timing before the piece is made.
Can I explore an idea before an appointment?
Yes. In the online design studio, add optional reference photos and describe your idea. Explore the four views, ask for changes, and send your chosen concept and notes to Shari. You can also simply contact her to talk through it.
Is an AI concept the final design?
No. It helps communicate the look you want. Shari reviews the actual stones, dimensions, support, and construction before confirming what can be made and what it will cost.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. Shari works by appointment only so there is time to discuss your piece one-on-one.
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.
