Custom Jewelry

Jennifer Dawes Design is delighted to make custom jewelry to fit your unique desires and needs. Following are some examples of custom pieces and the people they were made especially for. “I got the ring c/o D&H without problems on Wednesday, and I gave it to Kerry Friday night when she arrived for a weekend visit. She LOVES it, and I can’t tell you how beautiful the ring looks. You did such a wonderful job and have made us both so happy. We really like the simple, aesthetic shape, and the pave looks incredible. Please thank Gretchen and Deborah for figuring out how to get it here so easily. My sincere gratitude,” Sam “I bought the wifi for the flight home so I had a chance to look at the photo of the ring a little more. As I looked at it, the raised edges looked like an equals sign or two roads running together. I love both of those metaphors for our marriage. I want to look down at this ring everyday and be reminded that Ali and I have distinct paths in life but those paths run in parallel and are connected. I love it Jennifer, simply amazing work. I can’t wait to wear it.” Sean “I proposed to Ali on Friday and she was absolutely surprised and thrilled with the ring. I had a photographer across the street to capture the moment and I wanted to share the photo with you as your ring helped make for an amazing day. Everyone who sees the ring falls in love with it. No one has seen anything like it and they can’t stop talking about all the small details.” Sean “Well it was a success! She said yes and loves the ring!! I set up a timer on the camera to catch the sunrise over her parent’s west texas ranch. She thought we were just going to watch the sunrise, but I had other ideas. The camera caught the perfect moment when I was on my knee. It was perfect!! Thank you so much for the help you gave me. She loves it and especially the hammered finish on the band.” Justin “I want to thank you for the amazing ring you made!! :) I received it in the mail yesterday and couldn’t be more pleased! It’s unreal to be holding in my hand what I had imagined, lol. Thank you so much for the awesome work you do and for getting it done the way I wanted - it’s so special to me to have a ring for him that’s so unique and matches mine so well! Here’s to all the work you will continue to do and all the people you will make happy!” Soozie “I just want to thank you again for having a consultation with Kimberly and I and for all your hard work in making the PERFECT ring for us. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! She loves it and I love it too, so a huge thank you is in order. The big day was last Saturday at the beach in Carmel. It actually started raining lightly in the evening so as ironic as it is, I ended up wearing that black hat which you guys commented on when I was there last. It was cold and raining but we were under a tree and it made it perfect because our wedding website and invitations feature a small tree at the top. None of this was actually planned to involve a tree, but in the end it all just worked out beautifully.” Rob “When it came to getting married, we wanted to do it our very own way -- starting with a sky-diving proposal. We knew we didn’t want blood diamonds, so we asked an astrologer in India to give us the stones that would best represent and protect us. What we received was confounding at first: a large freshwater pearl for Neela (the bride) and a bright pink ruby for Robin (the groom). They were beautiful but we had no idea what to do with them. Enter Jennifer Dawes -- the jewelry sorceress! She worked closely with us to design breathtaking pieces of jewelry that not only look amazing but truly capture something about our relationship and each of us as individuals. We were also able to use recycled gold from pieces that had been in our families for years -- so the rings feel truly magical. We both wanted rings that would also work as lockets, and Jennifer’s design gave us two unique pieces of jewelry in one. Neither of us were big jewelry-wearers before and Jennifer was a joy to work with -- she helped talk us through the process and was never pushy, but supportive and loving. It made the ring designing and buying process one of the favorite and most-talked about parts of our wedding! Both of us are (literally) constantly getting comments about the pieces that Jennifer designed and the pieces give us so much joy and happiness.” Neela & Robin “I wanted to say thank you and send you the good news that my now fiance, Clay, proposed!! ...we had our dogs out at Fort Pulaski here in Savannah... and standing out in the tall grass with the saltwater and oysters below, I was daydreaming about a wedding where everyone had to boat, swim, jetski out to the lighthouse and I would design a wedding dress bikini, etc... (kidding, just so you know!) ...as I was rambling he said ‘Well, we COULD do that..but you’d have to say yes first.’ I turned around to see him with your magical creation! I loved your work the moment I saw your site and read your philosophy. I love that so many special details make my ring perfect for me! Clay also had so many wonderful things to say about you and I wanted to thank you for making the process so special for him as well! We appreciate your part in our happily ever after! ” Alicia “Thank you so much for your help the ring came out perfectly and it is gorgeous!” Kumu “hey Jennifer - the ring looks exceptionally beautiful - thank you so much - Abena (my partner) is really crazy about it. I proposed last night in Sunset Park in Brooklyn - she was totally surprised and ecstatic. It was fun to see her so excited - she started telling the old ladies that hang out on my block this morning (!!!)... Anyway, I cannot thank you enough - the ring is amazing.” Kerim “Working with Jennifer was such a delightful experience. Very creative, knowledgeable, and professional. She creates beautiful, unique pieces that you feel good wearing knowing it’s from a ‘green’ source.” Erin “I (formally) proposed to Jamie just before Christmas, she said yes and LOVED the rings. We both are amazed at how it turned out. Thanks so much. The ring by itself was very special, but it meant a lot to meet you at your studio and see where it came from.” Tim “The earrings arrived on Monday and they are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much!” Susan “Just wanted to thank you again for the excellent work and expedited delivery of my ring. My fiance absolutely loves it (evidently I have exquisite taste ;-)).” Joe “I received the ring this morning and I love it -- it is such a streamlined, elegant design and I’m hoping my girlfriend will love it too. Thank you so much for completing the order and having it ready for me this week -- I’m hoping Montreal is a romantic city and will lend itself to a smooth proposal. Dealing with Dawes Design was such a pleasure -- no pressure and no hard sell, but excellent, professional service. Thanks again!” Robert
