Object Design Studio

It was a pleasure to meet Nelson the goldsmith behind all his wonderful creations. I was absolutely impressed by his ingenious technique, his curiosity to knowledge and the story behind each piece of jewellery. And he is an amazing photographer too!

A genius craftsman, fourth generation Coloradan, patient, funny, knowledgeable, Nelson spent an hour with me designing something incredible, one of a kind, innovative and even cost conscious. He was as excited to make it for me as I was to have it made. A one of a kind experience.

Before getting married, my husband and I met with Nelson to make our wedding rings. Neither of us had any experience with metal work but Nelson made sure to explain everything in a way we could understand. We started off the morning by practicing different techniques. Once we felt comfortable with these techniques, we used them on the medal for our rings. He was a very patient teacher and taught us everything we needed to know in order to make our beautiful rings. Knowing they are one of a kind and that we made them is something I'll always treasure. I have Nelson to thank for that!

I have gone to Nelson for years for custom designs, repairs, and purchases. He is always a pleasure to work with and extremely professional, fair, and great at what he does. He is very knowledgeable, and if he can’t do something he has an excellent network of other professionals surrounding him who can. Nelson is also willing to do all kinds of projects that other jewelers would not touch. Would give him more stars if I could.

Nelson made me a ring to match one that had been in my family for three generations. I used our original ring to propose, and Nelson created one from scratch to use as a wedding band with it. Fantastic job! Came in at budget, looks great, and it only took a few weeks from start to finish. I'd like to add that he would call and e-mail with updates so I knew he was working on my project. I look forward to our project together, Nelson!

Started to research making my Fiancée’s ring for months even going so far as to price equipment out. I was glad I found Nelson before getting in to deep. I spoke with him several times before my Fiancée and I meet with him to discuss materials and design cut from a tree. Neither of us had any experience with making jewelry but Nelson made sure to explain everything. We starting in the morning and were finished before supper time. Nelson is a very patient teacher and taught us everything we needed to know. This is an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Knowing that we made each other’s rings out of one piece of metal and that they are one of a kind is priceless. Thank you Nelson!

If you're looking for custom jewelry in the Devner area, you really have to visit with Nelson Giesecke, who is Object Design Studio. Nelson not only works with jewelry, he also crafts elaborate custom watches, creates all types of custom metal work he created a custom chess set for my husband which I commissioned as a present for our 25th anniversary, and does restorations as well. While Nelson will put his creativity to work for you, he will also work with you as closely as you'd like on any project and translate your ideas into pieces of jewelry/art that are as original as they are stunning. My husband happened upon Object Design when we first landed in Denver over 13 years ago-- and Nelson has become our go-to designer for every and no occasion. Particularly when I happen upon a loose stone I like and scoop it up with no idea of what I'll do with it. Just one example-- my father absentmindedly doodles all the time. I took one of the doodles to Nelson, and he created a pin using the design for my mother. She loves it-- and I can't think of anywhere else in Denver where a jeweler would take on that type of project; Nelson jumped at it enthusiastically.

We totally enjoyed the wedding ring workshop. We had a blast making each other’s rings! Nelson Giesecke patiently and skillfully guided us through the entire process, and we ended up with two beautiful rings that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. In addition to ring making, we learned a significant amount about metallurgy, annealing, forging, the nature of different metals. To our surprise, we also learned how to craft beauty out of raw ingots aided by Nelson’s steady hand. A very worthwhile and bonding experience! What a great way to start a marriage.

Nelson is the BEST designer and the BEST value of any of Denver’a high end jewelry designers. He listens to the client’s ideas and is happy to make them a reality. The customer us first. It is not about him it is about YOU.
