When it comes time to make a commitment to that special some one, you will be faced with all the decisions on what to do about your wedding. At Circle Studio we are interested in making your wedding day last for a life time; creating custom wedding bands just for you. Whether you want something comfortable, or a true statement, or a hidden message, the design will be made to reflect your own personalities.

If you want to create something totally original, the toughest part is pinpointing what you want the ring to "say." It can be tough to translate emotions into a nonliteral, concrete form. Work with what you know: Try writing a paragraph -- or a list of adjectives -- that describes what you and your mate are like, traits she or he has that inspire you or ideas of what you want the rings to feel like. If words elude you, look for graphic imagery that does the job.

If you are open to explore our ideas or look at a collection of designs and sketches we can start there as well.

Working directly with you as a couple, I create bands that fit your history and sense of style.

• I start with a free initial meeting (in person or via phone/email) to establish a visual and contextual launching point for the designs based on your ideas, images, your own drawings or by looking through my portfolio.

• I then draw a few potential designs for you to look over, and through further meetings or emails your final design is decided upon and drawn.

• After the approval of the final design, your rings are carved by hand in wax, then you approve them again in their final three-dimensional form (in person to assure the right fit).

• They are then cast in your choice of metal, including platinum, all karats and colors of gold.

• The engraving (if desired) and final finishing are done, and your rings are complete!

The price of your rings will be determined by the metal you choose, the addition of diamonds or other gemstones and the complexity of the design. A budget can also guide the final design and cost. Please contact us for a quote since gold and platinum prices are fluctuating constantly.
