Setting the Stage for Your Custom Adventure: Wally McSorley of Custom Jewelry by Tampico.US
How to describe the custom jewelry experience?
Vintage 1920s Italian carnelian crystal cameos (look closely and you can see the lions) have been set into 14k yellow gold bezels that dangle from antique 14k gold chains. The French hook tops for these custom earrings feature 4-point round, full-cut, bezel-set natural white diamonds. Custom Jewelry by Tampico.US at CustomMade.com.
The glowing recommendations that clients have left for CustomMade artisan Wally McSorley of Custom Jewelry by Tampico.US give us some insights.
She has a story for every piece of jewelry and I have to occasionally remind myself that her jewelry was purchased and not adopted.
Our adventure in customizing our engagement ring was truly enjoyable because Wally made us feel comfortable and understood what we wanted.
The design is simple, elegant, and timeless. People literally walk across the room to get a closer look and stop me in shops and stores to ask about it. What’s more important everyone agrees it really captures the essence of my personality and style.
Jewelry that’s a personal adventure to create, comes with a story, and has a palpable presence like a living thing and yet is uniquely you. Jewelry that compels people to cross the room and ask you about it. Wally understands that the customer is both the stage and the play for every custom jewelry design she creates in collaboration with her customer.
This Silver Necklace with White Sardonyx Cameo and Moonstone created last Christmas by Wally McSorley has become a signature piece for her customer, a mother and a spiritual person. For her, the nativity scene was an ideal choice. Custom Jewelry by Tampico.US at CustomMade.com.

Looking for “a special venue” for a wonderful stone? Wally created this water jade white gold gents ring to allow as much light as possible to enter the client’s beautiful blue-green water jade cabochon without making it “fussy.” She and her client opted for a bezel setting with open sides instead of a prong setting.

To fully appreciate the amazing images that large Australian Koroit Boulder opals present, Wally had to design “a frame for a wearable work of art” for her customer. This Koroit Boulder opal and emerald pendant is reversible, and the gold-plated sterling silver frame with rivets covered by 1-point green faceted emeralds, though beautiful in itself, allows the centerpiece to shine.
