Ask J. Shea

We Have Been Seeing a Lot About Your Computer Software That You Can Design Jewelry With, Our Question is, We Have an Antique Wedding Set From a Grandmother That We Would Like to Use And Design Our Wedding Rings With, But We Have No Idea Where to Start?

Many people come to us with beloved pieces of jewelry that they would like to use for sentimental reasons or jewelry that they simply don't wear anymore and would like to have it made into something that they will wear. But, many people don't know where to start. Our suggestion always is to bring in what you have, we will sit down with you and talk to you about what you want to accomplish in your design.

We will talk about things like design elements such as contemporary, or traditional. Do you like symmetrical or asymmetrical elements. We can look through pictures and get ideas on the type of styling and size that you like; also the metal choice that compliments your skin tone. Then, we will take these elements and build you a custom ring from the ground up using our revolutionary Matrix software. This will allow you to see the piece in 3-D, any changes or modifications can be made in this step before we mill the ring out.
