Materials We Use
At Lady Cromer Jewelry we work hard to source materials that are exactly what our customers have in mind. From lab grown or mined diamonds to Montana sapphires and beyond we love it all and are comfortable working with every type of gemstone imaginable.
The metals we use are all recycled and refined locally in San Diego. We even trade in the cost of your old precious metals towards the cost of your newly designed custom piece of jewelry.
Evolution
With every project we take on it is important that everyone is on the same page about the nature of the materials we use. Some stones are harder or softer than others, and different metals will show signs of wear and tear in different ways.
If you want a softer stone for a custom project we will be honest with you about how that stone will evolve over time. We will discuss all of the options and work with you to make exactly what you envisioned for your custom piece, while also being aware of the possibilities down the line.
Wear
All of our jewelry is designed with durability and wearability in mind. We use industry standards to ensure that every piece of jewelry we produce is going to stand the test of time. We want you to be able to wear your jewelry for a lifetime and then pass it on to the next generation. If you have heirloom jewelry you would like to replace or reimagine we will work with you to ensure a smooth and fun process.
Locally Made
Each piece of jewelry we create is meticulously crafted locally in San Diego to guarantee the highest standards of quality and durability. Our talented designer, April Cromer, collaborates directly with every customer to transform their unique ideas into stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces that will be cherished for years to come.
1% For The Planet
Our commitment to the environment means that at every step of the process we are carefully considering our impact on the planet. We use recycled metals, make each piece of jewelry to order ensuring little to no waste, and even donate 1% of our revenue to organizations working to fight climate change.
Redesign
Our specialty is transforming jewelry that may be outdated or unwearable into something that will be loved for a lifetime and beyond. We recycle the materials from existing jewelry and trade in the cost of your precious metals towards your newly designed piece. Have extra metals you want to add to your trade-in? Bring them in! We are always happy to work with you and will be honest about what is possible within your budget.
