About Me
I am a jewelry designer who works with precious metals, diamonds, beads, and gemstones to create wearable pieces of art.
I create one-of-a-kind pieces for high-end jewelers or an entire line for mass-market fashion designs. I also sell jewelry to my own elite clients on a contract basis only.
Services
Whether it’s cleaning, small adjustments, repairs, remodelling or the manufacture of a custom-made jewelry item— at Special Elite your jewelry is always in the best hands
Ring size adjustment
Despite careful advice and selection, it might happen that a ring is either too small or too large when you try it on again after the purchase. Should this be the case, I will adjust the size of newly purchased rings free of charge according to your requirements. The subsequent cleaning and polishing are, of course, included in the service.
Please bear in mind that it might take some time to adjust the ring size depending on the ring’s design, and that some models cannot be modified at all. The adjustment of rings without a gemstone normally requires only a few days. Rings set with gemstones are sent to our Atelier in New Jersey, and you will receive the modified ring back after approximately one or two weeks. If the ring doesn’t allow any modification, I will replace it.
If the ring no longer fits after you have worn it for some time, I will charge you a standard service fee for the adjustment of the ring size. Should you wish for other modifications, such as the shortening or lengthening of a necklace or the remodeling of a jewelry item, I can also do this for you—simply let me know.
Value estimate (free of charge)
My intern experts gladly estimate the replacement value of jewelry items brought from me. It is the best basis on which your insurance company can reach a decision in the event of a claim.
I offer this service as well for third-party items against payment of a fee. In this case, an expert opinion is provided by a sworn assessor. The costs depend on the actual scope of work, for example whether a short assessment or a detailed appraisal is required.
Repairs
If a piece of jewelry gets damaged, the clasp of a necklace breaks, or a gemstone comes off its setting, you can entrust us with the repair of your Special Elite jewelry item. I can remedy small damages within a few hours at my workshop (the so-called quick service). Items that require complex goldsmith work are sent to my Atelier. The repair on site will usually take about one to two weeks.
Engraving (partly free of charge)
Initials, a name, a date or even a personal message: If the surface of the item allows it, we will engrave your Special Elite jewelry and accessories. Standardized machine engravings of items bought from me are free of charge and can be done within a few days.
More complicated letterings or visuals can be engraved by laser or the engraving is done by hand by one of my goldsmiths working in my Atelier. The costs for this service will be at your expense. A few weeks will be necessary to complete the agreed work.
In order to find out what sort of engraving can be done by machine or laser, please contact me through my website.
Offsetting of brilliant-cut diamonds
If you have purchased from me a jewelry item with a white solitaire of at least 0.25 carat (except promotion items) and you would like to exchange it for a larger brilliant-cut diamond later on, I will offset the value of the smaller stone against the value of the larger one. If you wish to have the item completely remodeled, I will also offset the value of the precious metal used in the original setting.
Please note that I take the originally paid price as a basis and that you have to bring with you the Special Elite certificate, the international certificate and the invoice of the original solitaire if you wish to make use of this exchange offer.
Warranty
I don’t simply sell jewelry at Special Elite, but we make you a promise: I provide every piece of jewelry that leaves My company, except third-party brand jewelry, with a three-year warranty covering faulty materials or workmanship. Furthermore, you benefit from my comprehensive jewelry service.
For jewelry items purchased at Special elite, many of these services are free of charge during the first three years after the purchase. Additional costs arise for jewelry purchased elsewhere.
Checking of settings and clasps
Whatever the type of setting, the gemstones set in rings, necklaces or other jewelry items might become increasingly loose over time due to constant strain. My experts at the Special Elite workshop gladly check the setting of your Special Elite jewelry item free of charge. However, if you have dropped the item or hit it against something, I recommend visiting me immediately.
where are we going
Jewelry through the ages… Jewelry has found a place in the hearts of men and women alike, for their beauty, grace and enormous value. They are pieces of art, mouthpieces of tradition and serve as an identity to one’s persona. The course of humanity is spiced with the shimmer of ornaments, our wealth of jewelry acts as a window to our history. Jewelry is not only a treasure from the past but also a powerful indicator of the splendor of bygone eras. The best jewels and ornaments always belonged to the royalty and the elites, and for this reason, jewelry has forever been considered as status symbols. Cultures around the world have had their own individual styles in ornamentation and jewelry making. The inception of the word ‘jewellery’ is from the Old French word ‘jouel’ and a Latin word ‘jocale’ that translates to toy. The French and European countries also used ‘joaillerie’ to signify art works and ornamentation.
Focusing on jewellery that can be enjoyed and worn every day, I creates stunning collections from which you can purchase any piece to suit your style or budget. My designs all work together to create a wide range from which to choose your unique look. My main aim is to design beautiful, timeless pieces of jewellery, ensuring each piece – from the smallest earrings to the largest cuff – has that essential ‘wow’ factor.
My designs, featuring My signature latticework, have gained me many accolades throughout my career. The designs display contemporary but timeless elegance and understated sophistication. The innovative latticework allows the jewellery to reflect the light and sparkle as if set with diamonds.. I am looking forward to making jewelry a must have an affordable for everyone in the coming future.
