Heirloom craft.Quietly kept.
A neighborhood jeweler on Central Avenue, Orange, NJ. Hand-set diamonds, considered settings, repair work the chains can't touch. Appointments preferred so the case comes out for you alone.
Six pieces. Six small stories.
Each piece begins as a conversation. Stones we've been holding, settings we've been waiting to use. None of it on the shelf.
From sketch to setting.
A custom piece takes six to twelve weeks. The first three are conversation. The next three are wax and casting. The last is patience.
- I.stageConsult
We talk about the piece. The stone you have, the stone you want, the hand it goes on.
- II.stageSketch
Hand-drawn proposals. As many revisions as it takes to feel right.
- III.stageStone
We source the stone if you don't have one. GIA-graded options to compare in person.
- IV.stageWax
Wax model carved by hand for you to wear and live with before we cast.
- V.stageCast
Lost-wax casting in gold or platinum. Then hand-finished, hand-polished.
- VI.stageSet
The stone goes in last. You're invited to watch.
A bench.
A loupe.
A handful of clients a year.
Edgar Jewelry is a one-bench atelier on Central Avenue. The door does not say much. The window holds a single piece at a time, lit from above, changed weekly.
The work is repair, custom commissions, and a small private collection. Stones are bought from people who've earned the right to be quoted. Settings are set by hand, never by mass-production lasers. Polishing is the last human touch.
We don't advertise. Most clients arrive by introduction. We'd like that to continue, but if you found us another way, that's fine too — call to schedule.
By appointment.
Call ahead so the case can come out for you, and so we can close to walk-ins. A first visit is unhurried — usually forty-five minutes, sometimes longer.
