Pam is still working for and with me, and we are ensconced in our cozy Ninth Street Studio. Our hours for custom design work are mostly by appointment but we continue to be available 6 days a week and evenings too! A big "Thank You" to all who continue to follow me and commission my work. It has been wonderful to have seen so many familiar faces and rings and pendants, again and again, through the years.
You are all very much appreciated. In the meantime, we've worked hard on this new website and we hope you check back often as we continue to add new work. White metal has become a very popular choice for wedding set designs.

Ostling Jewelry Design is, in its entirety, the creative work of Margaret Ostling.
Margaret has been handcrafting fine jewelry since 1980 and during this time, she has established herself among the most creative and original jewelry designers in the US today, having been awarded numerous National and international Design Awards.
Using metalsmithing techniques both ancient and 'cutting-edge' contemporary, Margaret is in complete control of each piece, from original concept through finishing and stone setting.

I have always been involved in art and had anticipated a career as a painter, but an elective metalsmithing class, taken while studying architectural design in Southern Illinois in the 1970s, was the spark that ignited my career in Jewelry Arts field.
I very quickly became fascinated with the techniques used to form metal, a seemingly very hard immutable substance, into sculptural and even intricate shapes.
After college graduate studies, I received some of my technical training by apprenticing with a Goldsmith in the Chicago area, while working in a small gem and jewelry school.

I'm not sure that what I have done in my past life matters so much, in relation to the commitment I have made now.
Life sometimes brings you to places you never thought you would go.
Amazingly, I found that my journey of work and life took me somewhere I never would or could have imagined.
I was hired to do reproduction wax model work for Margaret in 2002.
It was a challenge to work and follow the art forms, as they make subtle and seductive changes.
Attention is given, in great detail, to making sure that the gemstone of your choice remains on the top of your hand, instead of turning under your finger.

Because we make all of our jewelry by hand, it is impossible for us to keep all of our jewelry designs in stock.
However, many of our most popular pendant and earring designs, and some of our ring designs, are available to purchase on our website in 14k gold and in sterling silver.
For most purchases, we invite you to email or call us for personalized service in making your jewelry selection.
If you order a piece of jewelry directly from our website, you can usually expect to receive your order within two weeks.
