10 Custom Wedding Bands You Can’t Just Purchase


  For over 20 years the Green Lake workshop has been turning out stunningly delicate, glimmery engagement rings that dazzle on the finger.

16 Unique Engagement Rings from 2016


  Each year at Green Lake Jewelry Works, designers reflect on the most innovative, challenging and unique custom engagement rings created in the workshop.

12 Unique Engagement Rings from 2015


At Green Lake, we get to make engagement rings that really challenge creativity and test technical ability.

In order to bring each client’s vision alive, designers and jewelers must often push the limits of noble metals and precious gemstones to the max.

ARTISTS AT WORK: Green Lake in Chicago


At Green Lake, you’ll see our little ‘artists at work’ slogan just about everywhere; it’s on our signage, on our letterhead, and on the little copper boxes in which each ring we craft is delivered.
