We offer limited edition stock jewelry in sterling and 14kt (or higher) gold based on the Celtic art of our ancestors using precious and semiprecious gemstones. Custom jewelry can take whatever form and style Robert and the client agree upon. We can provide a wide range of colored gemstones for a project or work with your gems.

History

Established in 1992.

Robert had been a goldsmith in the jewelry industry for about 25 years doing mostly repairs, resizings, and remounts. When he and Elizabeth married in 1992, they decided to give him an outlet to follow his dreams and devote his energy to creating jewelry to be enjoyed and treasured.

Working in the independent arts and crafts market has allowed Robert to devote his energy to creating limited-​edition, collectible jewelry.

Meet the Business Owner

Robert P.

Business Owner

Robert was always fascinated by jewelry. When his father was stationed in Japan, Robert would often spend hours watching a local goldsmith work. At the time he did not know how much it would influence him in later life. He took a few classes and tried his hand making jewelry as a young man. Eventually he met a European guild Master Goldsmith who had immigrated to the United States. He was able to convince this man to take Robert as an apprentice and give him a traditional training in the craft. His master’s motto, «Learn the mechanics and the art will follow.»
