Custom Jewelry Designs

We specialize in creating custom handcrafted jewelry to meet your individual desires.

A custom made item involves a significant time commitment both in concept, design and execution. The results speak for themselves. Imagine owning a high quality, finely crafted design made just for you – a composite of your desires and your ideas, along with our advice, design abilities and technical execution.

There is nothing like the experience of designing and making your dream engagement or wedding rings. We start by sketching your ideas together, we create a wax model and work the details out with you and then it’s time to cast your design in the metal of your choice. 

Personalized and uniquely designed just for you… or any other piece of jewelry that is meaningful and marks a special event or feeling that you want to capture and appreciate for many years to come.

Re-designing your jewelry is also a great way to bring new life to an older piece. Allow us to take an out-of-date design and re-make it into something that you'll be proud to wear every day.

Pearl & Bead Restringing

Knotted Pearl Restringing • Unknotted Pearl Restringing

We offer cleaning and restringing services for pearls and pearl jewelry. For security and durability it is best to restring pearl necklaces and bead jewelry at least every five years.

Cultured pearls are often strung on silk thread with a knot between each pearl. This keeps the pearls from rubbing against each other and prevents all the pearls from cascading to the floor if the necklace was to break. Silk thread is susceptible to wear and tear, especially if you wear the necklaces all the time. The fine silk can stretch and weaken, so if you see extra space between the knots that separate the pearls from each other, that could be a sign that the necklace needs to be restrung.

Trust our experts to handle your finest pearl and gemstone beads. We provide free estimates.


Jewelry Appraisals

GIA Graduate Gemologist • Insurance Appraisals • Estate Appraisals • Insurance Documentation

L'Oliphant Designer Jewelry is uniquely qualified to appraise your fine jewelry and gemstones. Our experienced staff has the background and gemological training to do a professional job of evaluating the current value of your precious keepsakes.

While these items are priceless to you, it's important to remember that the value of the precious metal and gems that comprise your fine jewelry is constantly changing due to market conditions. Gold, for instance, has seen its value double over the past 10 years.

Accurate appraisals are important because if your jewelry is ever lost, stolen or damaged, your insurance company will refer to the appraisal document to settle the claim. An outdated appraisal will likely result in you being under-insured, and that could cost you thousands. 

We recommend updating your appraisals every three to five years. Whether it's an engagement ring you wear every day or a piece you've just inherited from your grandmother's estate, we're ready to offer an appraisal for your security and peace of mind.
