The Process
1. Discovery. This is where we get to know each other, what you’re looking for, including sizing (e.g. rings, necklace, bracelets), the occasion or the intention, what the budget is and the deadline.

2. Gemstones. For projects that involve gemstones, we will source a selection of gemstones for you to view online though images or videos to start with. The shortlisted gemstones are viewed in-person (or online if you prefer), normally a selection of three to five options. Once a gemstone has been selected, you pay for it to secure it. The gemstone is billed separately from the design. If you have your own gemstones to use, we can assess them to confirm they are viable for production.

3. Design. Now that we have some information, we can make informed design decisions for you to review. The designs include pricing, usually the price of the design is different metals. Upon design selection, one revision is included. Further revisions may incur additional fees depending on the level of complexity. This design fee is separate from the final custom design. Have questions? Ask us at any time - we want to make sure you love the final piece!

4. Production. Once a design has been selected, 50% deposit is required to begin production and source materials. This process takes anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, though we will give you a better idea based on your design.

5. Pick up/delivery. We will contact you when your custom piece is ready. The remaining 50% balance is due upon pick up or prior to delivery. You get to enjoy the new treasure (or give it to someone very special)!
