I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jiovanni at Lux Forge to create a custom wedding ring, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. I first met Jio through the RiNo Art District and had been searching for a ring that truly felt like me. After exploring countless options, both custom and pre-made, nothing really resonated—until I sat down with Jio. From our very first consultation, I knew he was the perfect person to bring my vision to life.
Jio took the time to understand my ideas, no matter how unconventional, and immediately started sketching, offering expert suggestions on stone choices, materials, and unique design elements. His passion for craftsmanship and creativity was evident right away. He was upfront about pricing, feasibility, and the timeline, making the entire process smooth, stress-free and honestly a lot of fun!!
After finalizing the design, Jio had me come back to select the gems and materials, and from there, he worked his magic. When I finally saw the finished ring, I was completely blown away. It turned out even better than I had imagined—every detail was perfect. The combination of a Gibeon meteorite, green sapphires, and salt-and-pepper diamonds set in 24k gold resulted in a truly one-of-a-kind piece that feels like an extension of my personality.
Not only is Jio an incredibly talented jeweler, but he is also a genuinely kind, professional, and knowledgeable person who deeply cares about his clients and his craft. He took my ideas and transformed them into something extraordinary, and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone who sees the ring is in awe of its uniqueness, which is a testament to his artistry and attention to detail.
I highly recommend Lux Forge to anyone looking for custom jewelry. Jio is a master at his craft, and his ability to bring personal visions to life is unmatched. Beyond that, he’s an amazing person and a valued member of the community. If you're looking for someone who truly listens, collaborates, and creates something breathtaking, look no further...

Read moreI had two gemstones representing the states my children were born in. Lux Forge was the only place I considered for the ring project I had in mind for them! I have previously purchased items that were one of a kind pre-made from Jiovanni and they are gorgeous quality pieces so I knew he had to make my ring too. The ring turned out better than I expected. It was a true partnership with the consulting appointment being Jiovanni listening to what I wanted and collaborating with me to get a design I loved with the structural integrity my initial idea lacked. The quote was fair and accurate and then, my ring was done early too! (I may have mentioned my birthday was coming up... ) I love knowing I have so many pieces of original art from Lux Forge and that this ring, which is sentimental for so many reasons, is...
