When you think about your favorite pieces of jewelry, which ones come to mind? The meaningful pieces you save for special occasions, or the comfortable pieces you reach for every day? “There’s a lot of jewelry out there that is really cool-looking but unwearable,” says jewelry designer Stacey Krantz, master goldsmith and founder of InBloom Jewelry in Frederick. “It’s my pet peeve when something looks great but it catches on things, has a hard-to-close clasp, a pendant that twists around, or a ring is so top-heavy that it flops over.” That’s why Krantz and her team, who specialize in one-of-a-kind custom design, create a precise digital render and a 3D resin model to make any necessary adjustments before each piece is finalized. “There are so many technical aspects of jewelry design that make the difference between something you can only wear for a few hours and something you’ll wear all day,” Krantz says. “When we give you an exact replica that you can actually try on, you get the chance to preview and possibly edit your piece before production. It’s a couple of extra steps — and maybe it requires an extra visit — but for an important piece that you’ll wear for a lifetime, it’s worth it.”
