The Raw Beauty of the Twig Weave: A 1.85ct Journey Nature, Unrefined

A matching jewelry set featuring a raw moss agate pendant and ring, with silver metal branches hand-cast directly around the stones in a prong-free design.
This signature set from the Twig Weave Collection features a rough diamond encased in organic, hand-carved silver vines. Using our "How It’s Not Made" philosophy, the metal is cast directly around the gems for maximum durability without the use of fragile prongs.


The Story of the Earth: This 1.85-carat rough diamond carries the story of the earth exactly as it was found.

One-of-a-Kind: Because nature never makes the same rough stone twice, this ring is a true one-of-a-kind treasure.

Organic Inspiration: The setting is designed to be just as raw and grounding as the diamond itself.



Beyond the Prong: You won’t see any traditional prongs here because they snag, scratch, and eventually fail.

Woven Strength: Using my signature cast-in-place method, silver twigs grow around the diamond to secure it.

Built to Last: The stone is "caged" and protected within the structure of the metal, not just sitting on top of it.



How It’s Not Made: This piece represents the movement against mass-produced, assembly-line jewelry.

Hand-Sculpted Art: I hand-sculpt every twig to follow the exact "map" of this specific diamond.

Master Artistry: With 20 years of lost wax design, my goal is for the metal to look grown, not manufactured.

Introducing the Twig Weave Collection: A Matching Set

This new set perfectly captures the spirit of nature-inspired design. Each piece is hand-carved in wax and features our signature cast-in-place technique.

The Design Philosophy: "How It's Not Made"

Most jewelry relies on thin, fragile prongs to hold a stone in place. We do things differently:

  • Integrated Strength: The metal branches are cast directly around the rough gemstone, creating a permanent bond.

  • Organic Texture: We use hand-carved details to mimic the natural ridges and patterns found in real tree bark.

  • Worry-Free Wear: Because there are no prongs to snag or bend, these pieces are built for a lifetime of daily wear.

A Perfect Match

The ring and pendant both feature raw, earthy stones encased in sterling silver vines. This set is designed for those who appreciate the raw beauty of the outdoors and want jewelry that feels as if it were found in a forest.

 This bold, nature-inspired men's ring was custom-created for a groom-to-be who wanted something truly unique. Hand-sculpted from soft jeweler's wax, the design features a single detailed oak leaf and two acorns nestled among textured twigs that wrap organically around the finger.
