Lumen & Stone Jewelry

Asheville, North Carolina

Jewelry cast by hand, worn for a lifetime.

Every ring, chain, and pair of earrings at Lumen & Stone Jewelry is designed and set in our small Asheville studio. No mass production, no shortcuts. Just recycled gold, responsibly sourced stones, and a lot of patience at the bench.

Shop by Category

Two starting points. Everything else, we build together.

"We size, solder, and polish everything ourselves. If you can name the hand that made your ring, it changes how you wear it."

How a Piece Comes to Life

01

A conversation

We start with sketches, a stone if you've already found one, and a budget we'll respect from the first estimate to the last fitting.

02

A wax carving

Every ring is carved in wax first, so you can hold and adjust the shape before a gram of metal is cast.

03

Casting & setting

Recycled 14k and 18k gold is cast in small batches. Stones are set by hand under a loupe, one prong at a time.

04

Polish & pickup

A final hand polish, a fit check in the studio, and your piece goes home in a box we're proud to hand over.
