The New Era of Handmade Gemstone Rings: Honoring Jamie Joseph's Legacy

When I first heard of Jamie’s retirement, I was flooded with uncertainty and excitement. Jamie Joseph’s rings are iconic, beautiful, bold, one of a kind.

We’ve followed in her footsteps for the past 15 years, always feeling like her ‘little sister’ brand. Smaller stones, smaller scale. But by this surprising turn of events, we’re now being coined her ‘heir apparent’ of handmade gemstone rings. Jamie Joseph’s rings are legendary — a blend of raw elegance, bold design, and deep reverence for nature. Her handcrafted rings set a new standard in the world of artisan jewelry, inspiring countless collectors and creatives. We are honored to carry her legacy forward.

As we step into this role, our mission is not just to continue where Jamie left off, but to evolve the art form she helped define. Every piece we create is rooted in the same values she championed: craftsmanship, individuality, and a deep love of gemstones. If you’ve admired Jamie Joseph’s jewelry, you’ll find its spirit alive and well in our current and upcoming collections of handmade gemstone rings.

Why Handmade Jewelry Still Matters

In a world saturated with mass-produced items, handmade jewelry stands apart. Every handcrafted ring we produce is made by skilled artisans who understand that jewelry should be more than decorative — it should be meaningful.

Each piece in our collection begins with ethically sourced stones, chosen not for perfection, but for personality. From there, our artisans hand-shape and polish each ring, giving it a soul and story that no factory-made item can replicate. If you’re in search of handmade jewelry in NYC, you’re supporting a legacy of fine artistry and timeless design with every purchase.

Bold Beauty: Statement Gemstone Rings

One of our most popular categories is our line of handmade statement gemstone rings. These are not rings that whisper — they speak. Crafted to celebrate the natural textures and colors of the earth, our statement pieces often feature asymmetrical cuts, mixed metals, and vibrant hues.

These rings are designed for individuals who value bold, unapologetic self-expression. Whether you’re drawn to a deep green tourmaline, a vivid Australian Opal, or a dreamy moonstone, each of our one-of-a-kind rings is a wearable sculpture that makes its own statement.

Australian Opal Rings: Ethereal & Earthy

Few gemstones capture the imagination like the opal, and our Australian opal rings are some of the most beloved in our collection. With their shifting colors and mystical glow, opals seem to hold entire galaxies within them. We hand-select each opal for its brilliance, fire, and unique character.

Our opal rings are a testament to nature’s artistry — organic, mesmerizing, and impossible to duplicate. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in something beautiful, these handmade gemstone rings are timeless treasures.

Alternative Engagement Rings for Modern Love Stories

The world of engagement rings is changing, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. More couples are turning away from traditional diamonds and choosing alternative engagement rings that better reflect their values and style. Think Montana sapphires, aquamarines, moonstones, and of course, salt and pepper diamonds — set in handcrafted, custom designs.

Our handmade engagement rings offer you the opportunity to be part of the creative process. Whether you want to design a ring from scratch or customize an existing style, we’ll work with you to bring your vision to life. The result? A ring as unique as your relationship.

Supporting Female Small Business

We’re proud to be part of a vibrant community of independent jewelers — many of whom are women. As a female small business, we’re passionate about sustainability, ethical sourcing, and preserving the art of handmade design.

By choosing our handcrafted rings, you’re not just buying jewelry — you’re supporting women-led entrepreneurship, artisanal craft, and small-scale production with heart. Every ring you wear tells a story — not just of the materials or design, but of the people behind it.

Continuing a Legacy, Shaping the Future

Jamie Joseph’s rings changed the landscape of artisan jewelry. Her handmade gemstone rings brought beauty, intention, and individuality to the forefront. We remain committed to the same principles: honoring the stone, the process, and the person who wears the ring.
