Stop spinning and add some stability to your life! Well…to your ring finger, at least.
Cindy brought us a beautiful ring with three marquise diamonds. She had it tucked away for a while because it wasn't fitting right. It would spin like crazy, but it was also getting too tight over her knuckle. We see this a lot, so we suggested one of our favorite solutions: adding a “U-spring” inside the ring to fill the space once it got past her knuckle!
This spring is made of 18k white gold, and as you slide it on, the spring is flexible-enough to be depressed against the inside of the ring as it passes by the knuckle, but then it springs back into shape to snugly hold the ring to the finger! After seeing what size fit comfortably over her knuckle, we added the correct U-spring, and when she got it back, she was so happy to finally be able to wear it and let the light shine on it again! We were happy to provide a solution for her after years of thinking it wasn't possible.
If you have a piece of jewelry with a problem you think is impossible to fix, bring it to Jack Lewis! We can probably come up with a solution!

The project will be designed locally by Kyle Glandon and Paul Scharnett at Hewn Architectural Studio (the new entity formed at the start of 2024 by the merger of Workbench and SAA), and be built locally by Catalyst Construction, led by the team of Andy Kaufmann, Britt Steffen, and Josiah Koch.
It was an honor to have a crowd of family, friends, and colleagues join us for the celebration.
