The gems associated with John C. Rinker are some of the best-kept secrets in the trade. A master goldsmith by training and profession, Rinker has been in the jewelry business for almost four decades now. He remains in the Baltimore area, where he has built up a loyal clientele. In the past, Rinker specialized in the design of unique pieces for Dahne and Weinstein. Sadly, this outlet closed its doors. While he gave them two decades of his expertise and impressive artistic ability, he did not hesitate to sign on with Heirloom Jewels as an antique restorer and designer.

When this business closed down, he opened the doors to John C. Rinker Jewelry. Now offering customers direct access to his know-how, skill and artistry, he has eliminated the middleman altogether. At this time, a devoted group of patrons entrust their broken jewelry to Rinker for expert repairs. He restores antique pieces made of platinum, gold or silver.
