Wade Designs Jewelry was established shortly after John and Rita were married with the idea that John could provide custom design services to the industry. Wade Designs evolved from a small jewelry shop serving over 200 stores across the United States to a retail location for almost 10 years and most recently returning to our new design studio. The design studio gives a more intimate experience for our customers to sit down with John for a one-on-one consultation in the comfort of his studio and create one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry with their own gemstones and metals or a start-from-scratch piece selecting from an incredible diamond and gemstone inventory which has been hand selected by John and Rita.
Went for a week of training and loved it. He is a great teacher and a great person his staffing is amazing. Would recommend going and learning from him if you are getting into jewelry.

Hand engraving training was great! They let me into their home, fed me well, vibes were great, and the instruction was useful and actionable. Love these guys!

My first encounter with John and Rita Wade was 10 years ago when the did my (now) wife's engagement ring, matching wedding band, and earrings. They have done a 10 year band. Beyond satisfied 10 years ago, and still just as satisfied now.
