One-of-a-Kind & Custom Jewelry

Unique creations I’ve made over the years, some inspired from my own journey, others made specifically for clients.

Custom Filipino Tribal Visayan 14K Recycled Gold Wedding Ring with Heirloom Diamond from the Philippines | Samonte Cruz Studios 2019

Custom Pearl Ring | Recycled 14-karat gold, pearl, cast, handmade custom setting. 2016.

This is a custom pearl ring design was inspired by a pearl ring my client was given by her aunt when she was 13 years old. She wore the ring everyday for 50 years until eventually the prongs broke and the pearl was lost.

Moonstone Ring | Sterling silver, fine silver, moonstone, hand fabricated, fold formed. 2016.

This ring features the first gemstone I ever set, moonstone! I wanted to design something that would compliment the height of the bezel  (stone setting) so I came up with this fin or wing-like shape, which became the inspiration for the my forthcoming Finery Sea Collection.
