My specialty is almost everything! I love making engagement rings, wedding bands and pretty much anything that has a significant meaning. I create therefore I am.

As a designer I share your vision, I do not impose my vision on you.

Your satisfaction is all that really counts.

I also offer expert repair and appraisal services. I specialize in work that others turn down or can't seem to accomplish the desired results.

No job is to complicated or beyond my studios capabilities.

About the Artist
Paul Michael Bierker is a designer, goldsmith and technologist. Formally trained in a traditional Art-Design school setting, Paul was always fascinated with advances in technology and materials sciences. Computer aided design and tech driven PLM was his destiny. Paul's "style" is still elusive. His pieces are developed around real and intangible ideas and from input from clients purchasing commissioned works.

Paul attended the SUNY BUFFALO and earned a BFA in Jewelry Design and Manufacturing with a minor in graphic design. Designations from The Gemological Institute of America include Diamonds Graduate, with certificates in Gem Identification, diamond grading and colored stone grading.

Paul's work and commentary has been featured in Vogue, Fortune, People Magazine, InStyle, AJM, Professional Jeweler, Modern Jeweler, National Jeweler Magazine in the U.S. as well as numerous international publications and every major media outlet in Pittsburgh.

I am proud to live by my mantra,
"It is not what you make... But how you make it."

    Stop looking, Paul is your man! Thank you so much for taking a concept and delivering something better then I had imagined. My corporate ring is an absolute master piece.

  • R2d2 Wedding Bands

    by Stephanie May 07th 2013

    Paul was a pleasure to do business with. He personally worked with me to get my fiance's wedding band just the right way I wanted it. He even came up with a new design just for him! It came out perfect! It was shipped and delivered fast, plus Paul packed the package extra carefully! Now I'm jealous and want one to match! Thanks Paul!
