Jewelry holds special meaning. It's more than the sparkles and shine. It's about the loved ones we associate with it. It's about the special events commemorated, the milestones and accomplishments.

We believe that whether you're starting a brand new custom piece or transforming existing jewelry, the design should always be thoughtful and filled with meaning.

I went to Jewelsmith to have the diamond from my mother's engagement ring made into a pendant necklace. They made me feel like royalty from the moment I walked in the door. I felt like part of the design team as my piece was being made from scratch! There were no surprises. They helped me understand how to ask for my heart's desire, and the final product is amazing. Fantastic customer service, no upselling. I love the fact that Jewelsmith supports community arts organizations as well. Brava!

I LOVE Jewelsmith!!! I got to get the ring of my dreams created by Tiffany and crafted by Phil!!!! The whole designing process with Tiffany was so fun and collaborative! She truly read my mind and created my perfect ring! I felt like she was just as invested in this project as I was! She's a rockstar!! And Phil's craftsmanship is second to none!! I have 3 of his rings and are so proud to wear each one!! Thank you Jewelsmith!!

I just picked up my beautiful ring custom designed and made at Jewelsmith. The process from design to delivery was professional and of the highest quality. I give them my highest recommendation.
