Modern Heirlooms
A fine jewelry atelier for those who want custom engagement rings and bespoke pieces for every occasion that could only ever belong to them.
Designed in Portland, Oregon
How we begin
Every custom ring starts with the Design Ceremony™, a private session where we explore your ideas, inspirations, gemstones, and symbolism.
From that conversation, I create a design that exists only for you.
It’s where your ring truly begins.
"For an object to be treasured a lifetime and beyond there must be story, feeling, and meaning woven into it from the very start. That is not something I add at the end. It is where I begin."
Anna Vásquez — Designer & Founder
