If you've been thinking about buying an especially nice piece of jewelry, consider your assets - the gold, diamonds and gems you
already own which are just sitting in your jewelry box... not being worn, broken, missing a mate, or just plain outdated.
At Whitney's, we can use your gold, silver and gems to create a beautiful and contemporary piece of original jewelry, while cutting the cost of materials.
Most people are astonished when they find they already have a modest collection of jewelry and heirloom gems such as class rings, earrings,
charms, dental gold, "retired" wedding sets, and old watch casings that are perfect for recycling.
The design of your custom piece begins with a combination of your dreams, our sketches and various design techniques including an age old process called lost wax casting.
This process begins with a model of your design carved in wax and invested in a plaster-like mold. The mold is put into a burnout oven where the wax melts away leaving a clean cavity in which melted gold or silver is poured into. After cooling, the original mold is destroyed,
thus... making your new piece of jewelry a one-of-a-kind creation.
Whether we create a stunning piece of custom jewelry using our materials or recycle your
gold, silver or gem stones into a new and fashionable original, each piece designed carries a
numbered certificate of authenticity signed by the designing jeweler as well as a guarantee of
excellence that is synonymous with Whitney's quality and craftsmanship.
