Custom Crystal Jewelry Maker?

August 3, 2021 5:42 AM

I'm looking to have a custom pendant made, with a quartz crystal and a piece of obsidian or similar. There are an infinite number of results on Etsy and similar for "custom necklace," but I am hoping someone has a good recommendation. I'm in Milwaukee but am fine doing it through the net.

We didn't end up using them (and still don't have wedding bands), but we liked the artists with spoke with at Green Lake Jewelry Works. They are probably spendier than some of the other options, but they are doing online work now.

Magpie in the Tosa Village does custom work. I've only used them for relatively small work but I consistently hear good things about them for larger pieces.

I've never used their services, but ATrio in the Third Ward has a great reputation as well.

If there's anyone doing classes on jewelry making, they can probably make your pendant. Before the Pandemic, I took a jewelry making course, instructor was competent, I could have made such a thing with access to the tools and supplies, and the safety of supervision.

I love love love Cindy at jackangeline (shop name) on Etsy. I have 2 crystal and electroformed pendants she made, one smoky quartz and one rose quartz, and I love them so much.
