SHW (Still House) Jewelry NYC

Working with Urte to design my engagement ring was an absolute dream. Her passion for fine jewelry and gemology, combined with her genuine warmth and open heart, make her the perfect person to guide anyone through the design process. I was initially hesitant about working with someone remotely, but from our very first conversation, I knew Urte was the right choice. She immediately understood my love for modern design and my obsession with the subtle details that make a complex piece feel effortlessly simple and clean. Throughout every step, her professionalism, creativity, and sincere desire to craft the perfect ring shone through. It’s clear she truly loves the art and craft of jewelry making. The final result was nothing short of stunning—I couldn’t be happier with my experience or with the beautiful ring she created.

My partner and I recently had our engagement ring redesigned at SHW, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We wanted something simple but also unique. After struggling to find the right jeweler to design our new setting, we knew we came to the right place the moment we walked in. Urte and Clark never pressured us. Instead, they genuinely cared about making the ring perfect for us. It was a 10/10 experience, and we’d recommend SHW to everyone we know.

After several lackluster ring shopping appointments at the larger jewelry companies in Manhattan, I stumbled upon SHW online. I'm SO glad I did! My partner and I customized engagment rings for each other and from the initial visit, to picking the stones, to customizing the bands, and eventually to the pickup day, Urte and Clark were transparent, kind, personable, communicative, and helpful. We spent about the same amount as we would have at a larger store for off-the-shelf jewelry, and instead we now have completely customized rings and lots of positive memories to accompany them. I cannot recommend SHW enough!

My fiancé and I customized my engagement ring at SHW and it came out beautifully! The process of designing the ring and picking out the diamond felt so personal and special. SHW has beautiful timeless yet unique designs and combined with Urte’s professionalism and sweet personality made us ultimately choose SHW. Clark was also so nice and helpful as well. I would highly recommend checking them out!

I can’t thank Urte enough for the custom piece of art she made us. She worked with us for several months to design an incredibly unique wedding ring for my wife. We had wandered into her shop and noticed a beautiful ring design with a square band and floating setting called the Mana which had a single stone on the band. I was really excited to have two stones (a diamond and and alexandrite) on the band and Urte rendered multiple designs to devise a way to keep the elegance of the square band and the floating setting but which still managed the complexity of both the stones. She then set it in silver so we could see what it would look like and how it would fit. Urte - is not just an amazing artist but she has a keen understanding of the materials and the engineering - so she was able to see that the dual setting would change the sizing dynamics and she modified the sizing for my wife accordingly. She also helped me sneak the ring out before my wife realized it was down so I could propose 🤗. Urte - thank you so much - the art that you created was amazing and if you ever need someone to sing your praises - please put them in touch with me.
