Ross Farrar

Ross Farrar, whose store was previously located in York PA, is a Master Goldsmith, with 35 years experience. His skills in custom designing and hand engraving are incomparable. The scope of his skills begins with the concept for an original piece of jewelry. He then does a drawing by hand or by CAD (Computer Aided Design) and then a 3-D model is made. Ross fabricates the finished jewelry piece, including precisely setting diamonds and gemstones.

Hand Engraving will further personalize your own unique jewelry. Hand Engraving is a Master's Art, a highly specialized skill. Ross has been honing this very rare skill since 1970. Whether you would like to engrave a name, initials, date, or an original design, a message or even a family crest, Ross has the unparalleled ability to produce an exquisite heirloom for you.

Laser Welding is the most significant innovation in gold smithing in centuries. Our on- site laser welder allows us to provide you with state of the art restoration and repair. Treasured jewelry pieces that previously could not be repaired, can now be made to function, often- as good as new.

Jewelry Restoration is one of Ross's strengths as a Master Goldsmith. He can restore most previously repaired, damaged, and vintage jewelry. Not all jewelry can be restored to original condition, but when possible, Ross Farrar is at the top of this craft.

We are serious about learning all we can about diamonds, gemstones, estate jewelry and our industry in order to offer you the most knowledgable service in our field.
