My custom made jewelry reflects the experiences and impressions of the journey that inspired it. The result leads to making things one at a time with skill and attention so that no two pieces are ever entirely identical. Every piece of custom made jewelry is designed in-house. From the initial wax mold, to fabrication, to setting the gemstones, to the final polish; your piece never leaves my studio until it is ready to be delivered.
With over 40 years of experience in custom jewelry design and diamond-setting, you can be confident that your jewelry will last for generations! At the Douglas Zaruba Studio, I only use recycled gold and silver, responsibly sourced gemstones, and the finest grade of diamonds for my jewelry creations.

I first stumbled into Doug Zaruba's Gallery in February 2002, when it was in Frederick. As a lark, I tried on a custom pendant and I have worn it nearly every day since then. I think the value was ~ $2,200, so about 40 cents a day for this treasure!
I've also purchased his gold and diamond plumbob earings, and made gifts of his pure silver heart on a gold chain. I also had a custom ring designed at his former gallery in 22k granulated gold with diamonds and garnets that I provided.
Wish I still lived in Maryland so I could visit his new shop!

We bought my husband's ring here. He had been looking for Damascus steel everywhere and while walking down the street, we spotted it in Zaruba. We went inside and the owner was so nice. He showed us how neat the steel looks as it ages, helped the Husband pick out what metal he wanted on his skin and was great to work with. Everything in that shop is amazing.
He doesn't make the Damascus steel himself, a friend does(I think it's the only thing he doesn't make in his shop), but he's extremely knowledgable about it and owns some great pieces of his own. We're so happy
