Our History

Dan's interest in the jewelry field started when he apprenticed in a local small-town jewelry store as a teenager back in the early 80's.  He was professionally trained in advanced stonesetting, design and repair, and watch repair becoming a certified Seiko Quartz watch technician at the age of 16.  After about 5 years he set aside this trade to pursue a career in the computer field. 

Dan then spent over 25 years in the Information Technology Industry working for the United States Air Force and a major insurance company.  After first noticing the cutting-edge 3-D printing technology and how it was being employed in the jewelry industry in 2005, the "spark" for working in the jewelry was ignited once again when he saw how this printing technology combined with computer-aided design (CAD) to make some incredibly beautiful jewelry.  After about 18 months of research and business planning Dan set out to found his own jewelry design and manufacturing company.
