Custom Order Story: Worn with Meaning

"I discovered LJ Artisan Designs in 2022 when a friend had a necklace made for me from her mother’s jewelry. It was such a beautiful and meaningful piece, and from that moment I was hooked! Leah’s artistry is second to none—she combines expertise with genuine care, creating jewelry that is not only stunning but deeply personal. She carefully researches and sources her materials, always going above and beyond to find the perfect fit for each customer. I especially appreciate how she sent me photos of different stones so I could choose the one that resonated with me in this ring she is showcasing. Every interaction with Leah is thoughtful, professional, and heartfelt. I cannot recommend LJ Artisan Designs highly enough!"

After purchasing the Wynona Bracelet—a bold cuff featuring a uniquely luminous Peruvian blue opal—Debbie reached out to create a custom ring that would complement its colors, textures, and rustic elegance. I began the process by sourcing just the right green gemstone that would provide the perfect counterpoint to the opal’s nature-infused greens.
