↳ §.01
Two doors

We work two ways: as a quiet bench for trade buyers, and as a referral-only studio for private commissions.

For trade · 01 ↗

Other jewelers,
boutiques, designers.

A workshop you can quietly call yours. We do the bench work, stone setting, and finishing — your name goes on the box.

  • Confidential — your client never hears our name
  • Five-day turnaround on standard setting
  • Wholesale pricing on all bench work
  • Net-30 terms after the first three jobs

For private · 02 ↗

Engagement & one-of-one.

We take a small number of private commissions a year — usually referred by jewelers and designers we work with. Direct walk-ins, very occasionally.

  • By referral or scheduled appointment only
  • Suite 412 · fourth-floor consultation room
  • Five to eight weeks from concept to delivery
  • Inquire with the name of who sent you

↳ §.04 · The shop

One bench. One setter. One floor above the diamond cutters.

An imagined Suite 412. Two windows, a vault, a single bench, a kiln, a setting microscope, and a small front room for the consultations that happen face-to-face. The whole shop is twenty-six feet across.

Quiet trade ateliers like this one usually work with names you'd recognize — from Beverly Hills, San Marino, and the Glendale Galleria. That's the part that never appears on their websites. This concept is built around exactly that kind of working studio.

Access

How to get in.

Suite 412
Fourth floor

We are not a walk-in shop. Trade visits are by appointment; private inquiries are by referral or scheduled appointment. The building has a security desk on the ground floor — give them our name and they'll send you up.

The fastest way to reach us is email. We answer trade requests within four business hours and private inquiries within a day. If you were referred by another jeweler, please mention their name in the subject line — it changes how we triage.
