NMD Custom is comprised of original designs that are available for purchase as is and/or with a tailored custom reproduction option. All custom pieces are handmade to order and one-of-a-kind and will not be replicated once the original design is reproduced through tailored customization and sold. Part of the reason for this (in regard to lace jewelry) is that access to most of the lace I use is limited due to vintage sourcing making some, if not most of my pieces limited edition. In regard to my crochetwear items at times certain yarns can go out of stock or dye lots may become unavailable. Depending on the intricacies and details of a certain piece, I may not allow for reproduction. If this sounds confusing, don't worry it will all be crystal clear after your consultation. Remember this is art, creativity and freedom. There are exceptions to every rule and I leave plenty of room for flexibility as it relates to the availability of current and past designs. 

I approach the execution of every design as an exciting new challenge. Each piece is approached with the same intent but different techniques in relation to the design elements being utilized. Each design is decidedly unique in its own way and never are any two designs exactly alike even if similar in concept. Each piece of lace used in all NMD lace jewelry is precision cut by hand into a specific design from vintage lace fabric of the finest quality. Imported and domestic high end lace is used in the fabrication of all of my lace pieces. To maintain the structural integrity of the laces' shape, it is lightly stiffened for hold and durability. A great deal of care, craftsmanship and expertise is put into every piece birthed from my hands. It is the most beautiful of processes for me yielding the utmost benefit for the potential owner of the piece. From start to finish, each piece is handled by my two hands only, creating consistency in the form, function and finish of the design.

“Only the highest and finest quality materials are used in my designs.”

jewelry elements

Precious gemstones, guipure vintage lace, professional grade polymer clay, 100% double mercerized Egyptian cotton fiber and high-end yarns are just some of the materials used to create NMD jewelry. Genuine Swarovski Crystal elements grace many of my pieces as these are the gold standard in the fashion design industry. Semi-Precious metals add a touch of elegance or a hard edge when necessary to round out or finish a piece. Hand dyeing lace fabric is another exciting element I add to my jewelry on occasion. I absolutely love colors and creating out-of-the-ordinary color combinations adds another layer of expression to my pieces. In addition to synthetic, I also use natural elements to dye my fabric sustainably. Other additions and embellishments are used in my designs such as rare and vintage findings and hardware. Although some would call my jewelry "statement pieces", I certainly don't make low-quality, seasonal or trendy costume-type jewelry. This would serve to artificially dictate the obsolescence of my designs. My pieces are well thought out and I take as much time as I deem necessary for the fabrication and production of everything I make ensuring consistent quality and excellence.

Please note: The designs available for customization cannot be changed, only the individual elements can be altered. Everything pictured on this site can be customized, this includes crochetwear and jewelry.
