Services
Turquoise Jewelry Design
Our artisans craft unique turquoise jewelry using generations-old techniques. We source premium stones from global locations like Sleeping Beauty and Persian reserves. Each piece combines traditional silversmithing with modern design principles to create wearable art that maintains lasting value.
Concave Cut Technique
This specialized cutting method enhances light reflection through 48 precisely angled facets. Developed by third-generation silversmith Sam Patania, it eliminates dead spots while maximizing brilliance. The technique works equally well with turquoise and companion stones like white topaz and amethyst.
Sterling Silver Crafting
We use proprietary tarnish-resistant sterling silver formulas developed over decades. Our metalwork ensures perfect settings for concave-cut stones while maintaining structural integrity. The silver compositions have been refined across four generations to balance durability and aesthetic appeal.
Vintage Collection Restoration
Specialists handle restoration of antique Patania pieces and similar vintage jewelry. Our methods preserve original craftsmanship while incorporating modern reinforcement techniques. We maintain historical accuracy in materials and design elements during all restoration processes.
Gemstone Selection
Third-generation master Sam Patania personally selected our six signature gemstones: white topaz, smoky quartz, amethyst, citrine, green amethyst, and sky blue topaz. These stones complement turquoise in color vibrancy and optical properties, creating cohesive yet diverse collections.
