Every project starts with a consultation. Bring in whatever you have. Reference images, loose stones, a piece of jewelry you want to redesign, or nothing at all. Your jeweler will walk through materials, design options, and what's realistic for what you're envisioning.
From there, we create a detailed 3D model using CAD software and print the mold in house, so you can see and hold a physical model of your piece before any metal is cast. Changes are easy to make at this stage and cost nothing.
Once you approve the design, the piece is cast, set, and finished by hand. Turnaround depends on the complexity of the project. A modified setting with a supplied stone is faster than a fully sculpted original design. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
A lot of custom work starts with something you already have. An inherited diamond that needs a new setting. A photo of something you saw but want modified. We work with what you bring in and build from there.
If you have old gold jewelry you no longer wear, bring that too. We can apply the gold or silver value as a credit toward your project, which goes a long way with metal prices where they are right now.
If you're starting from nothing, that's fine too. We source diamonds and colored gemstones and can walk you through options in person.
