Custom Gold Work
Do You Have Unworn Gold Jewelry?
Let's design a charm together. That ring you never wear, a broken chain, a pin from a grandmother — we'll melt it down and reimagine it as a one-of-a-kind Cloud Charm, made to wear every day.
The Process
Step 1 — Unworn Brooch (or Ring, Chain, Earring...)
It starts with the gold already in your jewelry box — inherited pieces, broken pairs, jewelry you love the story of but never wear.
Step 2 — Melt
Your gold is weighed and melted down in the studio, returning it to its rawest form.
Step 3 — Ingot / Metal Pebble
Once melted, the gold is poured and cooled into a small ingot — a metal pebble, ready to be reshaped.
Step 4 — Roll Out the Ingot
The ingot is rolled flat into a sheet, the raw material for your new charm.
Step 5 — Choose Elements on Your Cloud Charm
Your charm is cut into its signature cloud shape, then customized with stars, birthstones, rainbows, birds, or other symbols of awe and wonder.
Step 6 — Pick Gemstone Colors
Choose the gemstones and colors that feel most like you — or most like the person the charm honors.
Step 7 — Add Words
Want something written on the back? A short poem, a phrase, initials, a date — a quiet, personal detail only you know is there.
Step 8 — Finished Charm
Your one-of-a-kind Cloud Charm, ready to wear on a chain or bracelet — the piece you thought was gone, made new again.
Step 9 — Wear It, Every Day
I still wear the charm made from my grandmother's 18k gold pin. Every time I put it on, I feel close to her. That's the whole point — jewelry with meaning, meant for today, not tucked away in a drawer.
A Slow Process, A Fabulous Result
This is a hands-on, personal process — it takes time, and that's part of what makes it your unique heirloom.
