Tim wanted to create a few special statement pieces from 24kt gold that was gifted to him by his grandparents on the occasion of his birth, as well as a gift from his dad to his mom early in their relationship.

24kt is typically to soft for daily pieces as it wears down and loses detail quickly. We melted and alloyed his inherited gold into 18kt to create a bold custom medallion featuring symbols that resonated with him - a hand engraved tiger and a petite 5 pointed star set with a diamond. We used the remaining gold to create a flat top signet ring set with an emerald, a ruby, and diamonds. ⁠
