# Nora Sermez Jewelry > One-of-one (art)ifacts, handcrafted for the story only you can tell. Fine jewelry designed by artist Nora Sermez and handmade by her small team in Scottsdale, Arizona. ## Brand Nora Sermez is an artist-founded fine jewelry house in Scottsdale, Arizona (founded 2018). Every piece is bench-made by hand in the Arizona studio. The house works in solid gold with ethically sourced stones: lab-grown diamonds, natural sapphires, moissanite, and other fine gems. No mass production. Every design is one of one. Brand voice: mystical luxury. Signature phrases: "(art)ifact" (always with parentheses), "x Nora Sermez". Never use em dashes in copy. ## Three ways to begin 1. **Shop ready-to-wear** — signature artifacts at $10,000 and under. Crafted to order in 4 to 6 weeks.
