Sterling silver, gold, platinum, and vibrant natural stones—each element is handpicked to create a jewelry piece that lasts.
Whether you’re reimagining an heirloom or starting from scratch, here’s how Kirsten and her team bring your design to life:
It all starts with a conversation—simple and casual. Whether it’s a phone call or an email, share your thoughts, sketches, or inspiration photos. Not sure where to start? No problem—Kirsten and her team will help bring your vision into focus.
At your private consultation with Kirsten, your ideas take shape. Bring along anything that inspires you—Pinterest boards, heirlooms, or just a sense of your style. Together, you’ll explore options like natural stones, hammered finishes, and textures that speak to you.
After the consultation, we create a detailed design proposal, complete with sketches, materials, and a quote. It’s your first look at the vision coming together—a moment that makes your idea feel real. Once the design and price are approved, a 50% deposit secures your spot in the queue.
We bring your design to life using techniques like hand-fabrication, wax carving, or CAD—whatever suits your piece best. From shaping metals to setting stones, every detail is crafted with care and Kirsten’s signature touch.
You open the box to something truly one-of-a-kind. Your custom jewelry feels like an extension of you. Slip it on, and feel the weight of something made with care, just for you—a piece to cherish forever.

30 years ago, Kirsten’s father, the founder of Windsor Gallery, designed a jewelry cleaner to make it easier to clean delicate pieces with soft stones like emeralds, opals, and pearls. That cleaner, Speed Brite, is now sold across America, Canada, Europe, and Australia. It remains Kirsten’s go-to method for cleaning both her own jewelry and her customers’ pieces.
