• Custom design and fabrication
• Work your minerals or select any of ours

About the Maker
Four generations of the Cifani family working on Joseph Cifani’s original tools, continuing a living lineage of traditional jewelry craft. Eric’s work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, including the Renwick Gallery (National Gallery of American Art) and the USA Hall of Gems & Minerals, as well as dozens of museums and exhibitions nationwide. His work has also been exhibited at Burning Man, the Clark County Government Rotunda, and on PBS and NPR. His process is viewed by millions on social media where he freely shares the entire process to help preserve, inspire and teach traditional jewelry arts in symbiosis with Mother Nature.
The Highest Ethical Standard
This work represents the most ethically made jewelry money can buy. Minerals personally collected by Eric Cifani. Once collected, extraction stops. Each site is carefully restored to support wildlife habitat, leaving the land better than found. There is no industrial mining, no exploited labor, and no outsourced production. Every step from stone to finished jewelry is done by hand and fully documented, providing complete transparency in materials, process, and impact.
One of One. Always.
Each commission is treated as a singular work of art, never duplicated and never outsourced. The making of your piece is part of the offering, allowing you to experience the transformation from raw material to finished heirloom. More than business. This is ceremony, craftsmanship, legacy, intention, and great mindfulness.
