Made by hand in Virginia

A JI Jewelry ring resting on a cedar branch: a titanium band with whiskey barrel wood inlaid around it and a channel of green opal running through the middle of the wood. — Titanium · whiskey barrel · green opal

Custom work

Most of what I make has never been made before.

Send me the wood from the barrel, the antler, the guitar string, the sand off the beach. If it can be stabilised, it can go in a ring. If it cannot, I will tell you that instead of ruining it.
