John Paul Designs has been creating one of a kind, handmade jewelry for over a decade in his downtown atelier and gallery in Bend, Oregon. Wedding rings and custom work is how John Paul has made a name for himself. You won't find any prong settings (that weren't custom made) or manufactured parts in his designs. Traditional settings such as bezel, partial bezel, channel and modified channel, as well as settings invented specifically for your design, are what make a JPD piece unique.

Active people have been utilizing JPD's settings to hold their most treasured gems while biking, climbing and skiing for many years. Whether you are looking for a clean and contemporary design or one of his signature textures, JPD somehow manages to do it all. Bring in your family gems or have John Paul find you the right diamond or gemstone. The unusual request is why people go to John Paul Designs. Colored diamonds, black diamonds or that agate you found while climbing in Bishop that was transformed into the center stone for your engagement ring: This is what makes working with John Paul a personal experience.

Every piece of jewelry in the cases is a JPD original. There is no mass manufactured or imported designer items to be found. If you are looking for a down-to-earth, no-nonsense type approach, JPD is your store. Stop by or call to make an appointment.
