Hand-Crafted Artistry and a Piece of History

Maintaining Old-World Traditions

When you purchase a Whitehouse Brothers ring, you receive a piece of art and history. Each piece is hand crafted by a team of artisans that have great respect for the old-world traditions of filigree jewelry making. They’ve researched the styles and methods of the past and strive to recreate pieces that embody the spirit and soul of the artists who first created them. In addition to engagement rings and wedding rings, Whitehouse Brothers offers a line of pendants and earrings — perfect gifts for special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.

Quality and Craftsmanship

Whitehouse Brothers’ designs are carved from a single piece of precious metal. The individual design determines how a stone is held into the head of each ring. Most center stones are held with prongs or filigree beads, and some rings feature diamonds that are set into a channel of metal or bezel setting. Each setting style combines with unique detailing and design features that determine the size and shape of the stone that can be accommodated. For specific information on which ring can accommodate your stone choice, please contact an authorized retailer in your area or use the search tools above.

Whitehouse Brothers maintains high standards of quality in the creation of each piece. The artisans who skillfully craft each item complete an in-house apprenticeship — learning and perfecting their trade. Each piece of jewelry receives considerable attention, passing through the hands of up to six experts. For instance, the “jeweler” smoothes the cast ring, cuts the intricate filigree patterns and drills holes for stones; the “polisher” brings out the brilliance of the metal; the “setter” secures diamonds into the mounting; the “engraver” embellishes the ring with its organic detailing; and the “polisher” once again brings the metal to its full luster. Each ring is then hand inspected by Joe Vogelsang, owner of Whitehouse Brothers, before it is released to your retailer.
