Welcome to A. A. Baldwin's -Jewelry
by Design - Home of the area's only Jewelers of America(TM) - Certified
Master Bench Jeweler(TM), in beautiful and historic downtown Marietta,
where you can step into the past with our picturesque city and specialty
shops.
For over 25 years Tony has been repairing and making jewelry. Tony's
interest began while still in High School, and from there he went to
school to learn the basics of jewelry manufacturing. He has worked with
(and continues to work with) real masters of the art and craft of jewelry
creation. His experience extends to helping restore some of those special
items, or precious heirlooms, that are no longer able to be worn. His
passion is to build a piece of jewelry, with the full design and structural
integrity, that offers his customers trouble free years of satisfaction.
And since 1990 he has been doing just that, in Marietta Ohio, for jewelry
store's all over the country.
Tony Baldwin, of A. A. Baldwin's Jewelry by Design, has managed to capture
the tradition and flavor of an old world Craftsman and merged that with
the technologies that exist in the 21st century by offering Computer
Aided Design ( in 3D ) to assist you in jewelry design for yourself
or a loved one. With the computer age upon us, much of what was once
done strictly by hand, can now be done with the assistance of computer
driven machinery.
Deciding which best suits your needs should be something "YOU"
decide for yourself, and not the only option offered where you shop.
A. A. Baldwin's has the ability to repair, hand make and manufacture
jewelry just like it has been done for thousands of years. Now, with
the addition of CAD (and access to many within the industry capable
of precision manufacturing and laser capabilities) much of what could
not be done in the past is now a reality.
Being able to see a 2 dimensional or a 3 dimensional drawing of an article
you want made is very helpful before committing to the expense of making
a piece of jewelry. You might have seen (or dreamed of) that perfect
jewelry item, but also may have experienced the hurdles in getting someone
else to see it exactly like you see it in "your" mind. Many
times something is made that cannot quite fit your finger the way you
would expect due to the placement of stones and/or the thickness of
the metal at a critical place for structural strength. Being involved
in the design process allows you (the customer) to see what you truly
like or dislike before buying something expensive that you simply don't
like to wear. By including 2D and 3D life-like drawings into the process,
most of the guess work and crude drawings that lead to disappointments
in the past, are eliminated.
The only limitations are what you cannot imagine.Most of what we offer
is done right here on the premises.Our inventory may be small, but our
access to the industry is unlimited. Nearly all metals, diamonds, precious
gemstones and jewelry items are as close as our fingertips. If you are
planning to have a special piece of jewelry made or re-designed, please
stop in to see how we can make that dream a reality.
