Custom work.

Custom jewelry design sketch with calipers and stones

David Alvarez

Bring the idea. He builds the piece.

Owner and in-house jeweler David is the custom bench. Engagement resets, two rings into one, a stone from a grandmother’s setting, a chain that should exist and does not yet — start with a conversation at the Monterey showroom.

  • Custom rings, pendants, and resets
  • Heirloom stones into a new setting
  • Design from a sketch, photo, or spoken idea
  • On-the-spot work when the job is small enough

How it usually goes

Look, talk, make.

1. Visit

Bring the jewelry, the stone, or a photo. Chely and David will tell you what is possible on the bench and what it should cost before any work starts.

2. Design

Simple jobs can happen while you wait. Larger custom pieces are drawn, sized, and scheduled so the finish is not rushed.

3. Pickup

Collect the finished piece at 514 SE Monterey Road, or at the weekend flea bench if that is easier.
