I'm Ewa (Eh-vah), a passionate, fast and meticulous and experienced jewelry professional with 11 years of experience in jewelry manufacturing as well as custom work. As a Gemological Institute of America graduate in bench jeweler (GJ) and jewelry design and technology (JDT) courses, I strive to create exceptional pieces of jewelry of all kinds. I've worked making hoops, bangles, link bracelets, lock mechanisms, rings, pendants, ceramic, stone enhancement cups and other fun items like a jewelers loupe. I enjoy creating jewelry renderings a lot! I've worked with jewelry manufacturing companies and jewelry stores locally as well as independent jewelers. As a bench jeweler I'm familiar with production and setting standards for models to be printable, castable and possible to finish and set. I create ready to produce CAD models from sketches, ideas or images. Prepare files for printing and communicate with you every step of the way to ensure all specifications are met. I have a extensive knowledge of manufacturing and producing jewelry along with stone setting ranging from solitaires to complex structures and diamond pave patterns. I can build new models from scratch, edit and modify existing models that need adjustments and modify files for a „finished” look for rendering and advertisement purposes. I can also produce high quality renders that look like the finished and set product. Take a look at my portfolio to see the work I've done in CAD and on the bench. I love building jewelry pieces both in CAD and in real life on my bench. I'm a great listener with the ability to maintain multiple projects at a time. Allow me to create some wonderful pieces for you!

Helping founders turn jewelry ideas into manufacturable products. Hi! I'm a jewelry product development consultant and jewelry founder with a background in both fine jewelry and contemporary jewelry. Many founders have amazing jewelry ideas but no jewelry background. That's where I come in. I help evaluate feasibility, identify manufacturing challenges, and avoid expensive trial and error before you invest in prototypes or production. I studied Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins (UK) and earned my bachelor's degree in Jewelry Design & Metalsmithing from NSCAD University (Canada). Over the years, I've worked across casting, enameling, stone setting, CAD, prototyping, hand fabrication, and small-scale production. More importantly, I've experienced what it actually takes to turn an idea into a real product. While building my own jewelry projects, I noticed something interesting. Today, thanks to AI, more people than ever can create beautiful jewelry concepts. But many founders have no jewelry background and get stuck at the same question: "What do I do next?" I realized there wasn't really a service focused on bridging that gap. Instead of designing for you, I help you understand whether your ideas can actually be made, what challenges you may face, and how to avoid unnecessary trial and error before spending money on prototypes or manufacturing. I simply enjoy solving these problems, and if my experience can save you time, money, and frustration, I'd love to help. I love researching craft, materials, and manufacturing. Every project teaches me something new, and every lesson I learn becomes knowledge that helps future founders build better products. ✅ I Can Help You With • Evaluate if your jewelry idea can be manufactured • Plan product development • Recommend materials & components • Review or making suppliers & production plans • Identify production risks before sampling ✘ I'm Probably Not the Right Fit If You Need • Original jewelry design • Sketches, CAD or renderings • Branding or marketing • Factory production or assembly services • Legal, patents or IP advice
