His design style is characterized by clean, flowing lines and by a personal interpretation of classic motifs.

Capturing Greece!
“My newest collection is a quiet study of endurance, translating the timeless spirit of Greek culture through the form of a humble olive leaf.
Carved olive leaves wrap around each band, creating a textured canvas for bold cabochon and brilliant-cut gemstones. The vibrant jewels are a deliberate nod to the rich mosaic of the Byzantine era and the vivid, sun-drenched hues of the Mediterranean landscape.”
~Christopher

Meet Tanner and Destiny
Christopher and staff were a blessing when it came to bringing the ring of our dreams to life! Christopher was very attentive to our ideas from the first sketch to the final product. Getting to experience the process hands on and see each and every step of the crafting of this ring from beginning to end made the process all the more special and exciting. We truly felt prioritized and Christopher and team were always there to share in our excitement. We were included every step of the way with photos/videos, and phone calls from the staff- I (Tanner) was even able to do the final buffing and numerous other steps to complete this beautiful ring. There is no greater feeling than being able to tell people the story of our beautiful rings. We could not have asked for a more pleasurable experience in such an important part of our life. — The Partlows
She's one of a kind. Her ring should be, too.
