About Thomas

Founder and Jeweler

I’m Thomas Pestolis, the founder and jeweler behind Pistolis Jewelry.

I started Pistolis to make substantial, carefully finished jewelry without separating the customer from the person doing the work. Every piece passes through my hands, from fabrication and fitting through final polishing and inspection.

Why Pistolis Exists

Pistolis is intentionally small. That allows me to control the construction, proportions and finish rather than hiding the work behind anonymous production.

The Standard

Before a piece leaves the workshop, I inspect its dimensions, surface finish, solder joints, movement and clasp operation. The objective is straightforward: jewelry with sound construction and a finish I am willing to place my name behind.
