Custom sterling silver & natural gemstone jewelry

Heirloom-inspired jewelry by Lisa Rusczyk, combining traditional metalworking, sterling silver and carefully chosen natural gemstones.

Made to be treasured

Lisa is a jeweler, silversmith and solderer. Through The Empress Jewelry, she creates sterling silver pieces featuring natural gemstones and thoughtful metalwork. The work includes details such as die-struck heads and is approached with lasting wear in mind.

She loves making pieces that feel personal: jewelry for the present that can become something meaningful to keep, wear and eventually pass down.

Silver, stones and traditional detail

The materials and technique are part of the character of the finished work. Lisa uses sterling silver and natural gemstones, incorporating soldering and metalworking techniques in handcrafted jewelry. The intent is jewelry with beauty and durability, rather than something disposable.
