Lavian Jewelers

Hello, my name is Radu Stoica and I am the owner of Lavian Jewelers. My tiny jewelry workshop is situated in the pretty village of Bayside, Wisconsin. My journey began across the ocean in the tiny European country of Romania (you may have heard of Dracula's Transylvania or the famous gymnast Nadia! After high school I began my apprenticeship with the Romanian Mint where I honed my skills as an artisan by working as a hand engraver of coins, sport medals and military insignia. I discovered that hand engraving is both a technical endeavor and an art, so I could not aid but fall in love with it.
