About Us
bespoke jewelry design, heirloom redesign, and fine jewelry collections
Whether it is a custom piece that tells the story of two individuals falling in love, or a collection item that highlights the unique characteristics of a hand-selected gemstone, we love telling stories through the jewelry we create.
Our jewelry is made to have meaning that goes beyond first glance. We pride ourselves on creating quality that will last a lifetime, for educating our clients about jewelry and gemstones, and always infusing our pieces with meaning. We look forward to celebrating your unique connections with heirloom quality jewelry.

Collections
Original Eve creates fine jewelry collections inspired by unique gemstones and the beautiful way in which materials interact with light.
The gemstones used throughout the Original Eve collection are hand-selected by Eve, a certified gemologist, who loves the stories that gems tell through their unique color patterns, inclusions, and one-of-a-kind silhouettes.
Our gold forms are designed to complement and draw the eye to the natural beauty of the gemstones used and are inspired by landscapes and natural motifs.

Design Process
Original Eve’s designs are created using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) programming, prototyped with Additive Manufacturing, and are finalized using traditional forms of studio craftsmanship.
Eve specializes in creating custom objects, using elements of client's stories to create beautiful items that celebrate their experiences and connections.

Original Eve's metal is recycled, diamonds are purchased from responsible sources using post-consumer recycled diamonds and gemstones of ethical and traceable origin wherever possible, and producing items in partnership with other small businesses and family-run operations.
