How it works

From an idea to your hand.

No catalog, no mass production. Every piece goes from a conversation to wax to solid metal on one bench.

  1. 01

    Tell me the idea

    DM me or fill out the form. A sketch, a screenshot, a feeling — anything works. We talk metal, stones and budget.

  2. 02

    Fit & design

    Grillz start with a mold of your teeth. Rings start with your size. Then I lock in the design with you before anything gets made.

  3. 03

    Carved & cast by hand

    Every piece is carved in wax on my bench, cast in solid metal, then set, polished and finished by hand.

  4. 04

    Wear it

    Pick it up in San Diego and we make sure it sits right before you walk out.

The artist

“Prolly building a car or making jewelry.”

Johnny Martinez is a San Diego artist who works with his hands. When he's not in the garage building cars, he's at the bench carving wax and casting metal.

The Galleria is where that work lives: grillz, rings and pieces made one at a time for people who want something nobody else has. You deal with Johnny directly, from the first DM to the moment it's in your hand.

Let's make yours.

Tell Johnny what you're thinking. He'll get back to you to talk design, metal and price.

Rather just DM?

Questions

Good to know

How do I get fitted for grillz?

Grillz are made from a mold of your teeth. Once we lock in your design, I'll walk you through getting the mold done.

What metals do you work with?

Solid 10K and 14K gold are the most common, plus white gold, rose gold and silver. We'll pick what fits your style and budget.

How much does a custom piece cost?

It depends on the metal, the size and the stones. Tell me your budget up front and I'll tell you honestly what we can make with it.

How long does it take?

It depends on the piece. You'll get a real timeline before you pay anything.
