San Diego Gold Cross with Quartz and Diamond
This custom gold cross with quartz and a diamond was created from an image in my client's church. It is so pretty you don't have to be a member to own and enjoy it! Each piece of quartz is hand cut and set individually. Below is the "story" behind it and it's creation. Can be recast in white or rose gold with other stones.
Client Story:
"15 years ago my wife and I were involved with building St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church in San Diego California. For our 25th wedding anniversary I thought she would like a pendant that looked similar to the 20 foot cross inside the building.
I made a rough sketch of what I thought the pendant should look like. Initially that was all that Amy had to work with. As she worked on the pendant I became aware that she could make a much better pendant then I had sketched. She discussed fine details that I was unaware could be done. After several weeks I showed her some pictures of the actual cross and decided the pendant should look as much as possible like the actual cross.
It was as if she became as passionate about the project as I was! She noticed details that I had never seen and found myself going back to the actual cross to make sure that she, and the pictures, were right. I even had my 15 year old son check out some of the details with his young eyes.
Finally, following Amy's advice, I got my wife involved. She made some changes to the design, picked out some gems and colors. She wanted Amy to make a similar pendant for me.
The final pendants are perfect! I wear mine on a short chain constantly. My wife wears hers frequently, and I see her reaching up absentmindedly to touch it. I can think of no better compliment."

All I started with was a rough sketch of a pendant I thought would be a nice 25th wedding anniversary gift. Several weeks after the start of the project I was able to get a picture of the 20 foot tall cross that I hoped the pendant would look like. Amy became as passionate about the project as I was. We daily exchanged emails about the details, which I can imagine was frustratingly slow for her, but with a three-hour time difference and my busy schedule it was the best I could do. She made the pendant match the cross much better than I had suggested in my sketch. The final product is gorgeous, and my wife thinks so too! Amy is quite professional and talented. I have no hesitation in recommending her for any custom-made jewelry.

This white gold diamond tennis bracelet is absolutely beautiful
This white gold diamond tennis bracelet is absolutely beautiful. The flexible, oval design fits my wrist perfectly and feels incredibly comfortable to wear all day., in fact I never take it off. The clasp is easy to use, lies completely flush with the bracelet, and never catches on clothing looking seamless and elegant. It’s both practical and stunning, and quickly became one of my favorite everyday pieces.

Beautiful Tennis Necklace
The quality of this Tennis necklace is outstanding! I chose yellow gold for a little bit more casual look and it pairs well with a lot of different necklaces I own or it’s great on its own. Amy was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend the Perfect Setting.
