More of my custom pieces.
MJA05
This is 2005's award winning entry to the MJA design competition, it received the 3rd place finish in technical merit.
It starts out with a two separate ring castings, one in yellow gold and the other in white gold, then set with a .28ct round brilliant cut diamond in a half bezel from the swirl integrated from the shank, the other side is then set with a 3mm round spessartite garnet set in between the 2 joint rings and then supported with a single claw. It's a nice substantial design that echos quality and the finish is second to none. It's such a sight to behold.
MJA04
This was my 2004 MJA design competition entry, and it's a People's Choice award winner. It would always be a special piece for me since it's my first competition entry and it's my humble start into this trade.
It features a paisley mabe white with pink and blue overtone pearl, with a (approximate) .10ct round brilliant cut diamond set in a white gold swirl that is an accent from the yellow gold hand made frame, and on the bottom right corner of the piece features 2 0.015ct color treated blue round brilliant cut diamonds on white gold. This gorgeous pendant was sold even before the competition took place.

This yellow and white gold masterpiece was crafted for one of my clients looking for a truly one of a kind ring to set all her diamonds and use her existing gold. Not only did it meet her expectations but surely did exceed it, it would be one of my all time favorites.
It is a 1 piece casting with hand made white gold top section, with the base rhodium plated to give that mirror look underneath the center stone(approximately 3.4mm round brilliant cut diamond), and both ends has a half bezel that sets the other two main stones(approximately 3mm and 3.8mm round brilliant cut diamonds). The white gold strips on both sides of the center piece features 5 stones on each strip(a mixture of round brilliant cuts and single cut diamonds of approximately 1.1mm-1.3mm in size).
Forgive my approximations on the sizes of the used stones, since these are my client's stones and no formal appraisal has been done in our store.

This lovely piece is a one piece cast pendant with a mixed of matte and polished surfaces, with white gold accenting. Set with 13 single cut diamonds sizes ranging from 1.3mm-1.5mm and featuring a .20ct round brilliant cut diamond as the main stone. The bale is integrated into the figure 8 design, a very simple yet stunning pendant.
This is one of my earlier pieces and still is one of my personal picks even until now.
KV
This piece was created for a client that was looking for a one of a kind family pendant. One thing was specified from the start of the consultation, a triangle should be incorporated into the concept.
This piece is set with 4mm round Chatam Emerald, 3mm round Chatam Emerald and a 4mm round Citrine. Main piece is casted in white gold set with the citrine on one corner and a chatam emerald on the other corner. The bale was casted in yellow gold then brushed, and the bottom of the triangle is also brushed yellow gold set with a chatam emerald.
