I love the striking look of diamonds and pearls offset by a background of rich frosty white gold or sterling silver, in fact, I believe this is the finish I most often incorporate into our pieces. If you prefer a bright, high polish or a more rough, brushed look...no problem. We are happy to finish all of our pieces to suit your taste at no charge. Simply enter your wishes into the "message" field on our online order form and we will happily accommodate.
