The Short - Why to start with a designer.

Getting a custom design right the first time can be tricky. We create new, original designs every day for people all over West Virginia and beyond. Our designers specialize in knowing what's possible and suggesting innovative customization options.

​

Design with the Artist 

At Spencer and Kuehn, you work directly with the artist that makes the ring. Katherine Spencer has been designing and creating jewelry since 1999. John Kuehn has been designing jewelry for over 40 years. Charlotte Levinson, Yoni Benjoseph and Jamie Holton are new designers and jewelers on staff who all come with their own design aesthetic!

​

We can help you design to fit your budget.

We do a LOT of custom... It's our focus and our passion. To do this, we have learned ways to make each design fit the proposed budget. Another way we accomplish this is by melting our own customers' gold to create their new piece, a great way to recycle old and unworn jewelry and give it new life.

​

Price

It's often assumed that custom jewelry costs more than mass produced. However, by doing all our work in-house and selling direct to our clients, our bespoke custom pieces are often less expensive than branded designer lines.

 

 

How can we do this?

Most fine jewelry is designed in one place, cast in another, then sent to a 3rd or even 4th location to be finished. That’s a lot of middlemen! With all our work done onsite in our Morgantown studio, we keep our costs down and pass the savings to our clients.

​

We work together as a team.

Each piece of jewelry is the product of not one, but all of us as artists working together. Our process is very transparent. You and your designer work directly with the entire team, from sketch to final polish. Working with artists and craftsmen directly is the best way to nuance all elements of your design and ensure the absolute best quality.

 

We make each piece from scratch.

Most 'designers' and 'jewelers' outsource much or all of their production. As the makers, we nuance each design beginning with the sketch and during each step of the process - we wouldn’t dream of having someone else start or finish a piece with our name on it. The fact is, it’s increasingly rare to interact with a jeweler like Spencer and Kuehn. The old world skills of hand made fine wire filigree & hand engraving have increasingly been replaced by more 'efficient' modern techniques, yet hand done work is obvious and cannot be matched by cast in place substitutes.
