Nienna Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'm looking for places, online or not, to either affordably get custom work done, or that has unique fine jewelery at affordable prices. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msterbeau Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'm looking for places, online or not, to either affordably get custom work done, or that has unique fine jewelery at affordable prices. Any ideas? What do you consider "affordable"? I have a friend from school days that owns a shop in Royal Oak called Elements. He'll make whatever you draw... within reason. Beautiful work... Probably not cheap but perhaps still in the ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce Critter Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 What exactly do you mean by "fine"? You talking precious gems, gold, silver? I'm working in beads, generally complex designs, and I use Czech glass, some Austrian Crystal, semi-precious to a degree. I use decent silvertone findings. I can use sterling if actually commissioned. Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but I can put up some pics if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nienna Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Looking for white gold, and I intend to use either white topaz, hematite, garnets, or smoky quartz. I want to spend $500 or so, little more, little less not relevant. I also am not quite sure the shape of this project yet. Need to research it out first.

Fierce Critter Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'll throw up some pics of what I do tomorrow. If it's not the kind of thing you're looking for, no prob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain is saying it will need to be cast. I need to research it, going for an authentic viking era or mid 1300s england ring. Do put up your pics too though. I'm a jewelery whore!

Fierce Critter Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Oh, definitely not what I do. I hope to work in precious metal clay someday, but the materials are expensive. Be a long time before I can afford to get into that, maybe have to get a wholesale license first. Pics of my stuff pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Brendan at Elements might be able to help you based on your budget and wants. He did my wedding band for 800ish. That had white gold in it, sapphires and a small diamond. If you need help with a sketch, I'd be willing to barter for some sewing help in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Starrr Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Abracadabra in A2 is pretty cool. I love Moria. I don't know what you consider affordable, but she is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freydis Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm still trying to find their web address, but: Raven's Hoard Studio 109 Vaughan Rd York ON, M6C 2L9 Phone: 416-657-8654 These folks do really great work. I used to know the owners, and they did some really nice, yet affordable, work for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
