NEARLY 50 YEARS OF CREATING

Whether it’s carving the waxes or hand fabricating the pieces around the customer’s stones or the stones that we have provided. We offer an incredible offering of in-house carvers, diamonds and gemstones from around the world.

We believe good jewelers are able to provide their customers with old-world, hand-fabricated quality jewelry. We can use our stones, your stones, or source new materials for any piece that you may wish. And we also believe that as new technology becomes available, it is wise to embrace it, and as such we have upgraded the shop to include an in-house CAD/CAM design program, compete with a wax milling station that will carve the waxes for us, based upon the designs that we enter into the program.

WATCH OUR ARTISANS AT WORK

Take a peek behind the curtain and enjoy a full view of our artisans at their workbenches.

And with these items, our skilled designers will be able to produce original one of a kind items in wax and have them milled on the spot, ready for casting into a new item for you, our customer. Our ability to design and create the perfect piece for you or your loved ones is what we have based our reputation on and we will be able to do this faster and more accurately than ever before. We are excited to implement these new systems.

Repairs

While we are not specifically a repair shop, we will happily service your pieces, to make sure that they are wearable and maintain the original integrity that they left our shop in. But you must know, our jewelers are actually creating the pieces that you are seeing on our shelves, and we are not a dedicated repair shop. We are a custom jewelry shop first and foremost, and we wish to maintain that. As such if we get buried in repair work, we will recommend another shop that can handle your repairs. We thank You for your understanding.

Wax Casting

Jewelry casting is the process by which a wax pattern is made into a jewelry mold and then filled with molten metal or silver to create a custom piece of jewelry.  It is also called lost wax casting because the wax is always “lost” during the process of making jewelry. At Utopian Stone, we specialize in this service.

Stone Sourcing

Although we have many diamonds, nuggets, and colored stones in stock, we feel the customer should have the best stone possible for their needs. If we do not have the perfect stone for you, we will find those stones for you. So you are not limited to the stock that we have on hand.
