Specialties
Available by appointment. We design and build future heirlooms.
Stradley & Daughter is a private jewelry studio specializing in custom design, heirloom transformation, and exceptional hand-cut gemstones. Every piece begins with a conversation—then moves into a fully transparent design process, where you’ll see exactly how your piece is engineered before it’s made.
Using advanced 3D design tools alongside generations of bench knowledge, we focus on structural integrity as much as beauty. The result is jewelry that feels considered, substantial, and built to last—pieces meant to be worn daily and carried forward.
We work by appointment to give each project the time, attention, and care it deserves. This is a collaborative, highly personal process—designed for clients who value meaning, craftsmanship, and getting it right.
History
Established in 1883.
Stradley & Daughter is the continuation of a five-generation American jewelry legacy.
At its center is master gem cutter Jim Stradley, whose decades-long body of work—often referred to as “70 Years of Light and Color”—shaped the foundation of the business. His precision, restraint, and deep understanding of material continue to influence every piece we create.
In 2022, the company shifted from a traditional storefront to a private, design-focused studio led by Sophie Stradley. This transition allowed for a deeper focus on custom work and heirloom redesign—bringing together historic techniques and modern engineering to create pieces with lasting significance.
Each project carries forward both the story it came from and the craftsmanship behind it.
