A More Thoughtful Approach to Custom Jewelry
Working with Jonathan means starting with a blank page and ending with something no one else has: a piece shaped by your story, your taste, and the life you'll wear it in.
- A design that's entirely, unmistakably yours
- Expert guidance from concept through completion
- Full visibility into the process before anything is made
- A piece built for how you actually live, not just how it looks in a case
- Confidence that the craftsmanship will hold up for decades
- An experience worth telling people about
Most jewelry is designed for everyone. Yours shouldn't be.
Jewelry as Personal as the Story Behind It
Custom jewelry doesn't have to feel complicated. Here's what working with Jonathan actually looks like:
Consultation & Inspiration
No.
You share your vision, inspiration, lifestyle, and budget. Jonathan listens first, asks the right questions, and begins to shape an approach around what matters most to you.
Design & CAD Modeling
No.
Jonathan sketches the concept and builds it out in CAD, giving you a precise 3D rendering of your piece before anything is cast. You'll see exactly what you're getting and have the opportunity to refine it.
Your Approval
No.
Nothing moves forward until you love it. Once the design is approved, Jonathan sources materials, often passing along savings when he's able to secure a better price.
Casting & Finishing
No.
Your piece is cast, set, and finished by hand. Every detail is reviewed against the original design before it ever reaches you.
Delivery
No.
Your finished piece arrives ready to wear and ready to be passed down. Most custom projects are completed within several weeks, depending on complexity and materials.

“Jonathan K is a brilliant artist! He created a beautiful necklace replicating my husband's badge. The detail in this piece is unbelievable! Such a treasured piece of jewelry honoring my husband's law enforcement service. I highly reccomend him!”
- Kathleen
“I had the greatest experience working with Jonathan! He's such a great guy and put me at ease when discussing buying an engagement ring, which can be a little stressful for some of us.
For someone with zero experience buying jewelry, he made the process so simple. He took my budget and vague ideas for an engagement ring and designed a ring more beautiful than I could've imagined for my (now) wife.
I am so happy that I didn't just pick a ring "off of the shelf," knowing that her beautiful ring is unique for her means so much, and she doesn't mind the consistent compliments she gets on her ring either.”
- T.M.
“Jonathan is amazing! My fiancé and I had a vision of what we wanted our custom ring to look like, we brought it Jonathan and he created an absolutely stunning piece. We knew we wanted a specific type of diamond (Old European Cut) and we was able to get 3 different ones for us to choose from. We brought some pictures of what we liked and he worked his magic and created a 3D CAD drawing and print of the ring. So cool! He was patient with us and once finalized he brought the whole thing to life. Fantastic! I would recommend Jonathan in a heartbeat!”
- Virginia
“Had a beautiful ring to MY style!
Used my Grandmother's diamonds that I wear happily every day. Many thanks for realizing my dream.”
– Abbie
