A Bit About Jewelry from Natural Materials

Ephemeral natural materials pose unique challenges in crafting fine jewelry meant to last for generations.

We've truly enjoyed finding creative ways to preserve these unique materials in fine jewelry, such as cutting sea shells like they are gemstones and setting delicate hair and feathers behind quartz.

Natural Material Jewelry Renovation FAQs

How do I get started?

We typically begin with a phone consultation to talk about your jewelry and your style. We'll review photos of your jewelry and brainstorm about what new pieces we could create from your materials for you to enjoy everyday. There is no cost for the consultation. After your consultation, we'll send you a proposal with complete designs, descriptions, and pricing for what we would recommend!

Can I schedule an in-person consultation at your NYC studio?

We like to start with a preliminary consultation phone call to understand what you're looking for and make sure we're the right fit for the project. We've found our phone appointments to be a very focused and effective format.

Once we have a bit of clarity and direction, you're welcome to visit in-person at our Flatiron NYC studio for any followup questions, and to drop off your materials with us. We're always happy to arrange that!

What does it cost to create jewelry with natural materials?

We price each custom project individually and present complete pricing with our proposals. Costs vary depending on the type of piece, labor, complexity, and materials involved in your project. Natural materials projects tend to be some of our most delicate and nuanced, and thus the costs typically begin in the $4500+ range. We can apply the value of any extra gold or platinum from your original materials towards the cost of your project.
