In order to show the full array of colors and cuts available, we're happy to introduce our line of highly customizable, made-to-order jewelry! We currently have 7 styles of rings available in the MTO line, and this first is probably one of the best vehicles to showcase your favorite color combinations - a 3 stone cathedral style setting that uses a 2 carat, or 8mm center stone, and two 5mm, or 1/2 carat accents. The rings can be ordered in silver, or white, rose and yellow gold, or platinum. Lead time for these rings will usually be about 3 weeks, but check with Karen before ordering to ensure timely delivery!

What is the jeweler wearing?
(When not wearing my original?)

A 3 stone cathedral style 925 silver ring, with a Sakura cut moissanite. I paired it with a rainbow moissanite band. I can make the band in just about any color you like, and the 3 stone ring will be available early next week!

I recently had a customer ask me if I had any other unique pieces that I did not currently have up for sale.

The answer?

Emphatically, YES. In fact, I have nearly 250 pieces in back stock that are currently NOT listed on Etsy. Natural gemstones from garnets, titanites, sapphires, amethyst, ametrine, star sapphires, and MANY different shades of zircon, just to start, not to mention the pieces that feature moissanite.

To that end, I've began a campaign to feature all of these pieces in just a few photographs. All the photography is taken on a gray paint swatch called, 'Flint Gray', by Behr. The reason I did this, is so that if you are so inclined, you can go over to Home Depot, pick up a Flint Gray paint sample, and match the color to your monitor. THAT will tell you exactly what color that stone is.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these pieces, feel free to contact me here on Facebook. We are a FULL SERVICE jewelry shop, so every piece can be custom sized, in most cases, to the exact size you need, from a size 3 up to a size 15. Since Mike sizes the rings himself, it's really just a matter of making sure we have the time and materials needed!

Sizing is 40 US Dollars for the first ring, 25 for the second. If you purchase a third (or more!) rings at the same time, we'll waive the sizing fee.

Lastly, if you are REALLY unhappy with your purchase, we will work to either exchange, or return the piece, minus sizing and shipping charges. Buying online with your hard earned money is scary. We try to make it less so.

Last stone that was sitting in back stock - this one is about a 2.5 carat Portuguese cut moissanite, in a very light blue

Here's the next in the series of videos, trying to match eye color!!

12/04/2025

Occasionally we do more...unusual projects, like attempting to match the stone color to a beloved deceased pet's eyes. This is the first of a few stones in the running to match a cat's eyes! I've taken 3 videos with my cell phone, since my big camera is in the shop right now. One is in warm overhead lighting, the next is in cool indoor lighting, the last is in natural sunlight.

With stones that change color, it is REALLY difficult to show the full range of colors the stone CAN and does show. I wasn't looking for quality here, I was looking to show color contrast. I wish I was good enough to do both, but...

As the housemates of 5 very large, enthusiastic dogs, we absolutely feel you, pet lovers.

I have been told that I need to engage with social media more.

This is not something that either of us are good at, and there's a reason.

Both Mike and I are on the Autism and ADHD spectrum. Public speaking, making a video, putting ourselves out there? Neither of us are good at that - in the extreme. I sat and stuttered over that last video for almost an hour before it got done! Our business is great for the two of us when it comes to creating things, but when it comes to self-promotion? Well.

So, for as good as the last 7.5 years has been, we think it might be time to open up a little bit about our company. So, starting next week, I'll be posting some videos about who we are, what we do, and the jewelry we offer.

Got ideas for videos? Questions about the gems? Ask away!

For now, here's some photos of our best-selling piece, the GRA Certified Imperial Purple, 2 carat Moissanite, with imperial purple moissanite accents, in 925 Silver. The stone is a BIT darker when you get it into regular lighting (not the studio lighting I use for photography here for colors), but overall, what you see is what you get!
