Gorgeous clients and would-be clients often ask me if I do custom work. My standard reply is, “If you can describe it and pay for it, I will do it.”* Is your style more traditional than mine? More modern? Less edgy? More edgy? Doesn’t matter. But it can be hard for people to imagine all the possibilities, so here’s an example.

Is that a good resemblance or what? The dogs are carved out of jasper with painted rock crystal eyes, and set in 18K yellow gold.

Happy holidays to Isabelle, Scott, Berkeley and Bruno! And any of you readers who are dreaming of your own custom jewelry should holla at me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com. You’d be barking mad not to do it.<\/p>\n

*It also has to be humanly possible and legal, but you knew that, right?<\/em><\/p>\n
