ying techniques found in turn-of-the-century jewelry intertwined with her use of modern technology, they design and create jewelry which reflects the qualities of each person they encounter. Each piece is created with attention to detail and inspired by turn of the century design and technique. Specializing in the Lost Art of Hand Engraving,custom jewelry design, and creation. Ben and Kathryn Stewart bring a contemporary twist to an old work style. The result....Modern Heirloom® . We are often asked how we came up with our Trademark. It was quite early on in 2005. We had introduced numerous modern technologies including CAD CAM and Laser welding to our tool set and had also begun mastering many heirloom techniques such as Advanced Stone Setting and Hand Engraving techniques. We found ourselves making jewelry pieces to mark these momentous occasions for our visitors. Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, and even passings to name a few and we cherished the opportunity to help families in creating theses significant pieces. We often would ( and still do ) reset and restore family pieces to carry their legacy forward. When not recreating or restoring , we were designing and making new pieces to bring the next generation creations with a sense of nostalgia and timelessness. These pieces are not simply accessories; they are meant to be passed down as family heirlooms, carrying with them the stories and memories of those who wore them before. We created Modern Heirloom® . The name became synonymous with our creations and were proudly granted the US Trademark Modern Heirloom® in 2011 officially. Next time you need to mark that special moment , capture it through a Modern Heirloom® to be carried on through this and future generations.

What do we love most about designing and crafting each Modern Heirloom®️?
It’s the beautiful smiles. The friendships made. The love captured. The anticipation. The laughter as the day approaches when two become one.
And, of course, it’s the craftsmanship... creating something uniquely theirs, by hand, to carry that story forward.
