Well, yes, Galatea IS my name. But besides being based on my name, what does "Galatea Designs" mean?

You may remember the Greek myth of Pygmalion, a mortal who sculpted a statue so beautiful that he fell in love with it.  Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, took pity on the lovesick artist, and brought to life the exquisite sculpture, which was named Galatea.

So, in addition to standing for creative excellence and superb craftsmanship, the name "Galatea Designs" also carries connotations of striking visual appeal and of man's love for woman ...appropriate themes relating to our work with couples becoming engaged and those celebrating anniversaries.

Whether you have a jewelry design in mind or wish to work with me toward a design, the goal of Galatea Designs is to give life to a concept.  From a simple engagement solitaire to more ornate designs, we create from precious stone and metals jeweled art that you will love.

And while you'll love what we create, don't become so enamored with it like Pygmalion did ...save falling in love for your bride.  Trust me to sculpt the jewelry given as a token of that love, which you will likewise treasure forever.
