Something Blue and Something White

This 18k gold yellow diamond and sapphire wedding band has a lot of story to tell anyone if it can speak, but since it can not it will continue witnessing all the special events and moments that its' owner can experience in their life time. Every year at Metropoli jeweller we have witness and have heard many great fond memories of what each old jewellery pieces go through in its' life time, but when a special occasion arises or an anniversary marks a corner stone in their life we at Metropoli help our clients to take something old and make something new to christened their special moments in life.

Pretty Peachy Pink Morganite

This stunning hand made diamond and peachy pink Morganite a special project to me since it was a joy to make. The owner of this ring provided me with all the gold and all the stones so all that was left was just the labour of love we put into it. As you can see the stone is a very large one so everything was custom made for the large Morganite to fit. The design of the ring was made for durability and to show off the Morganite's stunning beautiful peachy pink color.

Halo this Please!!!

Have you ever wanted to get a halo ring, but never got it from your significant other when you wanted? Well you can get it done without breaking the bank account with just getting an upgrade at Metropoli jeweller. The halo beside making the solitaire rings more stylish, it also creates an allusion of the center stone looking much bigger. So guys for her anniversary I would take her ring in and do the inexpensive upgrade to just satisfy her craving of wanting a bigger stone, but with a more economical budget on the side.  Within the 2013 year at Metropoli jeweller we have notice a steady stream of customers requesting this procedure of getting halo upgrade from our shop so now we provide the service at our bench work within the store.

The Man of the hour and his Crown

This is for a client who works and live in BC and this is his creations of love. Sadly I was not able to take a picture of the finish product, but this is the before picture of the ring in its' wax form before it's cast. Sometime when a client does not have enough gold or materials for a jewellery project they want to make at our boutique, we can provide the rest and they just have to pay the difference in cost and labour.

This is a project for a daughter and mother and is a depictions of how much these two love each other. The two custom made pendants is made out of 925 silver and Swarovski Crystal which is set one by one by myself the goldsmith and designer.  This project was a labour of love for me and I am glad that I could make a beautiful time capsule for these two loving mother and daughter.
