Our mission is to create jewelry that transcends traditional boundaries, inviting everyone to experience the joy of wearing a LUX FORGE creation, regardless of their identity.
Sustainability and ethics are the cornerstones of our craft. Each LUX FORGE piece is meticulously handcrafted using 100% recycled precious metals. We take pride in our commitment to transparent sourcing practices. This means that we know exactly where our precious metals, gemstones and diamonds originate from. By working with ethically sourced naturally gemstones, post-consumer recycled diamonds and lab-grown diamonds, we offer a variety of options for our clients, ensuring that you end up with the perfect stone that is in alignment with your values and aesthetic.
Our creative process often begins with the gemstone itself, allowing its natural beauty to inspire the design that will showcase it best. LUX FORGE jewelry is characterized by its compelling interplay of contrasting materials, textures, and finishes. We primarily work with gold, platinum, sterling silver, diamonds and gemstones.
Custom creations are a particular passion at LUX FORGE. We delight in crafting bespoke jewelry for all of life’s momentous occasions — from bridal and engagement pieces to celebratory tokens, memorials, expressions of self-love, and markers of new life chapters. Our workshop doors are open to people from all walks of life, as we strive to dismantle the barriers often associated with fine custom jewelry.
Approachability and affordability are fundamental to our ethos; we offer fair pricing to everyone who seeks our services, ensuring that the world of personalized, high-quality jewelry is accessible to all.
Environmental responsibility is woven into every aspect of our studio practices. From our choice of ethically sourced gemstone, exclusively using 100% recycled precious metals, to our efforts in reducing our ecological footprint, LUX FORGE is dedicated to employing responsible methods throughout our jewelry-making process.
At LUX FORGE, we believe that beautiful jewelry can coexist with ethical practices and inclusive values. Each piece we create is a testament to this belief, inviting wearers to adorn themselves with not just exquisite craftsmanship, but also with the knowledge that their jewelry reflects a commitment to a more sustainable and inclusive world.
