"When I wear them, I think of Kai, and all the people who played a role in bringing him home. Those we met on our journey, and the people waiting for us back home. It makes it all the more special that these pieces were made by a friend who really knew us. I know when Don was making these pieces that he was thinking of us the whole time, they are absolute treasures." --Robyn Guempel
I just wanted to tell you how much Kristen loved her necklace! My daughters (picture attached) Maggie and Laura were Maid of Honor and bridesmaid, respectively, and Kristen is in the middle .
They gave her the necklace at the rehearsal dinner, she called me and said how beautiful it was and it would be perfect to wear for the wedding. I had no idea that she was wearing pearls!
So many people commented on it, she loved it and said how much it meant to her. I have included the picture of her and my daughters, the note I put with the necklace and a picture that she sent to me with all the jewelry that she was given that day.
The earrings are from her now husband, the ring was a button from her mother’s dress and made into a cocktail ring, and then the fork/necklace!
Wonderful memories, thank you so much for creating a beautiful one!!
Sincerely,
Kathy

This was a text I received four days after he picked up the ring I created for him before heading for a flight to California to pop the question on a beach he’d already chosen. He looked at the ring and said he loved it. I told him it’s not important that he love it. She has to love it. With a wide smile he agreed. Two days later on a beach in California he went on one knee, asked for her hand in marriage and placed this ring on her finger.
Having a small part this couples most important day is both flattering and gratifying. He wanted an emerald with a diamond accent. This ring has a 1.39 carat Columbia emerald and accented with a .39 carat diamond mounted in an 18 carat gold setting.
Another reason I love what I do.

Another reason I love what I do. A custom re-do of my "Angularity" pendant is now around the neck of a new customer. From an Iowa art fair I recreated this by making it smaller and adding
a special dark gray natural pearl at her request.
Hi, Don.
I received my new pendant yesterday. It is BEAUTIFUL! The size and pearl are just perfect.
I love it!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have a wonderful talent and create beautiful, unique pieces. I am a very happy customer!
Take care and thanks again!!!!

From Moscow with love: Katya brought a silver fork and a beautiful Baltic Amber stone from her mother all the way from Mosco. She asked if I could turn it into a ring for her. Because I love a challenge I said yes. She’s clearly not afraid of size and loves it!
Shhhhh "I want this to be a surprise for my wife on Mothers Day", Jerry said while at my art fair booth. He then slipped me, a family sterling silver fork. "She likes blue" he said and gave me the autonomy to "do my thing". This is the finished piece. Thank you Jerry for the faith you placed in me for this important project. I love druzy quartz stones and now he does too
