More than a century ago, there was a worldwide craft movement in reaction to the Industrial Revolution. Artisan makers asserted the genius of their hearts and hands to create works of art that changed the history of design.

Today, we are seeing a similar reaction to the Digital Age. The influence of the Handmade Movement is being experienced everywhere. Chris Ploof Designs is at the heart of it—put better, Chris’s head, heart and hands are in it.

The combination of head, heart and hands defines where everything comes together. Chris Ploof Designs does more than check boxes and steer consumer choices. We blend thought and emotion with our materials to create the most unique designs. Everything we hold true goes into our work.

When entrusted with the single-most important symbol of a union between two people—a ring—we believe every one should be as unique as the love it represents. It is no mere token. It is what shows the world the value of your bond. We take commitments seriously.

We value the people who love our work: connoisseurs, tastemakers, geek chic nerds, individuals who value more than status quo. We value our makers: modern alchemists, artisanal geniuses, master goldsmiths designing and crafting legendary treasures for people like you who demand the extraordinary. We make history every day.

We use our heads. We listen to our hearts. We make with our hands.

At Chris Ploof Designs we are crafting a new tradition in jewelry. We don’t strive to be different. We just are.

With everything we make we have longevity in mind, not temporary fads or trends.

We use ancient techniques to create timeless designs.

We forge meteorite—truly out of this world! We fuse luscious color combinations of gold, palladium, and platinum to create the most sensual wood-grain patterns known to jewelry making—mokume gane. Most famously, we have evolved the strength and beauty of ancient sword-making metals to create our own proprietary formula of bio-compatible stainless steel Damascus. Within a quarter century our combined skills have made Chris Ploof Designs the leading industry supplier of Damascus steel and mokume gane for both raw materials and finished products.

Our jewelry is as unique as the person who wears it. With our wedding rings we believe every band calls for the finest craft to match the strength and uniqueness of the relationship it symbolizes.

Our expertise is knowing how to make jewelry that will last a lifetime and beyond. We use the best materials because our overarching goal is to deliver heirloom quality. All of our jewelry is handcrafted with its lifetime in mind so you and your family will enjoy our designs forever. That is legacy.
