Custom Gem & Diamond Paintings
Looking for a unique wedding, anniversary, Birth/Birthday, or personalized gift?
Commission a detailed painting that captures the refracted beauty of a precious stone. Whether it's the diamond in your wedding ring or a meaningful birthstone, each cut or raw gem has unique features that can be honored and highlighted through the painting process. Celebrate a child’s birth, a milestone anniversary, or a loved one with a custom, one-of-a-kind artwork.
For diamond ring paintings, I can incorporate your chosen colors by placing colored backgrounds around the ring during the reference photo shoot or by enhancing the image digitally to create a personalized color palette. This not only highlights the gem’s natural beauty but also allows you to tailor the piece to your favorite colors or the aesthetic of your home.
Each painting is fully customized—you choose the subject, color direction, scale, and budget to create a meaningful and personal work of art.
Each painting is custom, you choose the subject and scale of the work to fit your space + budget.

All Pricing Includes:
This fee includes an in-person consultation/photo session of the stone (if located within a 1-hour commute of central Brooklyn, NY - further distances will require an additional fee). If you already have an existing photograph of your stone - ie, from a jeweler or appraiser. I am open to considering its use instead of an in-person shoot.
Full price is listed above: 50% commission fee is expected up front at the start of the project. The remaining 50% is due upon completion/receipt of the work.
Paintings typically require 1 -2 weeks to schedule a photo session/consultation, and 1 - 2 weeks for painting production and completion. So, 2 - 4 weeks of lead time before the desired receipt of painting is preferable. Occasionally longer, closer to 3 - 5 weeks, for larger works.
