The Maker
Silversmith, goldsmith, and stone-setter - working entirely by hand.
About Noah
Noah Santella is a silversmith and goldsmith who makes every piece by hand, from bars of raw .999 silver down to a beautiful wearable product to carry with you for life. What began as a fascination with the way light moves inside a cut stone grew into a full studio practice - designing, forging, and finishing one-of-a-kind jewelry to order.
He studied his practice both in university and within the industry as a professional bench jeweler, working in sterling silver and gold. Drawn to stones with real depth and movement - from diamonds and moissanite to lapis and labradorite, Santella Designs offers jewelry that sparkles with natural gemstones that shift and flash as they catch the light. Every bezel and prong is cut, shaped, and burnished by hand, so no two pieces are ever quite alike.
Alongside original pieces and client commissions, Noah brings tired and broken jewelry back to life - resetting lost stones, rebuilding worn settings, mending chains and clasps, and recutting dull gems on professional lapidary equipment. Much of his work comes from satisfied clients who return year after year, and from the various people they send his way.
The Craft
Any sort of setting - bezels, prongs, and frames cut and burnished to hold each stone firmly with love.
Broken links, worn shanks, and tired clasps soldered, re-sized, and re-finished by hand.
Movement servicing, crystal and battery replacement, and band fitting for vintage and modern pieces.
Chipped or dull stones recut and polished on professional lapidary equipment.
Lost or damaged stones sourced and re-set to match the original character of the piece.
One-of-a-kind pieces designed and forged from raw silver and natural stone.
Loyal Clientele
Noah brought my grandmother's ring back to life - he reset the stone and rebuilt the band so carefully you'd never know it had been broken. I won't take my jewelry anywhere else.
