A 30-min call to talk shoe, mood, references, budget. No charge.

Build

Hand-set crystal by crystal — 30–60 hrs on the bench, weekly updates.

04

Deliver

Box, certificate of authenticity, care card. Local hand-off or shipped insured.

"Trying to give you something different."

I spent too much of my life afraid to be myself. So for me these hand-made pieces are a small rebellion — proof that the stranger version of you is the better one to back.

I work out of a Brooklyn studio with one bench, a magnifier, and far too many trays of Swarovski. Every pair is hand-set by me — no contractors, no shortcuts. The work takes the time it takes.
