Matthew and Meaghan worked together to create a ring. Then they went to the beach and took a HAPPY picture to share with us.

Erica found a beautiful engagement ring in our Estate section.

Julie made the bracelet you see below for Judy (that is Judy on the right - she is NOT wearing magnifying goggles!)

Kynsee Lynn's aunt asked Julie to make her a baby sized white gold ring with a 2mm princess cut diamond. A little princess cut for a little Princess!

Ella brought her mom, Melissa, in so that Julie could make a special ring for her (her being Melissa - Ella will get a ring someday soon.)

We worked with Matt & Nicole in person and over the phone and internet (they used to live in Chicago) to find a perfect diamond and create a one of a kind ring for Nicole. Update: They just had twins!!

Hannah's mom bought her a Strellman's ring for her 16th birthday - and gave it to her while they looked over Chicago. (Thanks for sharing these pictures with us Hannah.)

We worked with Brian & Erica to create a one of a kind wedding ring - you can see it above and on her hand in the picture taken below on their honeymoon.

Ann Marie asked Julie to make earrings for all of her bridesmaids.

This is Dawn taking a look at the beautiful ring from Gelin-Abaci that she and Dave picked out for their anniversary. She likes it!

Dan and Stephanie got married - with some big smiles AND Stephanie is wearing Mokume Gane earrings and pendant that Dan commissioned Julie to make especially for her.

Tim is caught practicing the ever popular "threshold lift" when he and Renae got married in a beautiful park setting.

Do we need to mention that Aric and Sandy are slightly out of the ordinary? They thought it might be fun for a wedding picture taken with their buddy Oliver.

Aric had Julie make Sandy a ring with a ruby for a center stone. He opted for the durability of a titanium band.

Okay, that is not true. She was looking around, but then fell asleep while her parents

Laura and Cheryl

picked out a charm bracelet.

Fran was wandering the beach and found this unbroken sand dollar. Julie mounted it between two watch crystals in a 14kt yellow gold bezel. Now Fran can go to the beach anytime!

Why are people inclined to act silly in our store? This lovely lady is Deb - doing her imitation of Diane Whorley. You can barely see the Australian opal pendant she has on or the sterling bracelet Julie made for her - but we like this picture!

Elizabeth and her husband Bill celebrated their anniversary with a beautiful set of rings from Gelin-Abaci. As you can tell, Elizabeth was pretty excited on the day they took them home.

Cody came in and worked with Julie for a "just right" diamond engagement ring for his smiling bride Megan. She put a beautiful band from Gelin-Abaci on his hand on their big day.

Kirstin and her mom chose a very unique ammonite fossil for Julie to make a pendant from.  Kirstin is a photography student and she took some beautiful pictures of her friends modeling some of Julie's jewelry - they are hanging in our store.
