Where are you located?
1
Do you offer the same services in both locations?
Yes, both locations maintain the same standards for jewelry, placement, and experience. Our artists rotate between both studios.
What makes you different?
3
108 exists somewhere between a piercing studio, jewelry house, and private design experience. We intentionally operate at a slower, more thoughtful pace, prioritizing conversation, atmosphere, and refined placement over volume or trend chasing. Our studios are intentionally intimate, allowing each appointment to feel personal rather than transactional. The result is an experience clients often return to not just for the work itself, but for the feeling surrounding it.
