Custom Orders

"I recently received my beautiful new cuff and ring that Joshua made for me. The communication was great. We discussed what I wanted and he showed me multiple pieces of the turquoise that I requested. I submitted my deposit and was advised how long it would take for a custom order. The timing was right as it would be ready just before my birthday. I received several messages and videos as the work progressed and I was able to ask questions and give my feedback. When they were finished I got a lovely message and the final video. I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly my order was finished. And yes, I have been wearing them all the time. Might as well start the birthday early! 

Many thanks to Joshua for the beautiful jewelry and to Rachel for handling the business end of things!"

Custom orders are what really drive my passion for making jewelry. I enjoy getting to know my clients and creating something personal and unique for them. I want everything that leaves my hands to be a representation of my best work—something made with intention, built to last, and worthy of being passed down.

Educating my clients is also an important part of the process. Not all jewelry is made the same, and the same is true of turquoise. There are rare, top-grade natural stones that are increasingly difficult to find, as well as beautiful natural stones at more accessible price points. There are also stabilized, treated, and imitation stones. Knowing the difference matters.

After working with turquoise for decades, I’ve developed a keen eye for quality and can help clients choose the right stone based on their budget, the piece, and the setting. I also do all of my own lapidary work, which allows me to cut, shape, and properly back each stone specifically for the piece I’m making. I keep a wide selection of natural turquoise on hand, because I truly believe there is a great stone for every budget.

The metalwork receives the same attention. I pour my own silver and gold into ingots and hand-roll the metal I need for each piece. From working the raw metal to cutting the stone to setting and finishing the final piece, the work is done by my own two hands.

For me, that entire process matters. Craftsmanship and quality have always been my top priorities, and I want every custom piece to reflect that from beginning to end.

 

 

"I’ve known Joshua for many years.  He’s very creative and meticulous when it comes to designing his jewelry. He has many design examples to choose from but will look and listen to any ideas that you may have. His knowledge about turquoise and the willingness to share that knowledge is one of the many reasons I keep coming back to him. He prefers to work with high grade to gem quality stones and will share the knowledge of that stone along with its value. He’s taught me about the quality and value that comes with each stone."
