Jewelry Design Process

How is your jewelry made?
All of our jewelry is handcrafted with the utmost concern for craftsmanship and quality in metals and stones.

Typically, custom jewelry takes about 4-5 weeks from start to finish. Depending on your design, the process can potentially be expedited if you need your custom jewelry sooner.

We work with the following precious and semi-precious metals: 14k/18k/22k white gold, 14k/18k/22 yellow gold, 14k/18k rose gold, platinum, titanium, silver and palladium. We do not work with “industrial” non-precious metals such as titanium, cobalt, tungsten, and stainless steel nor base metals such as brass, bronze, and copper. We enjoy creating jewelry using white and colored diamonds; however, as well as precious gemstones. We do not work with mediums that won’t stand the test of time such as wood, soft rocks, shells, leather, enamel, animal skin, bone, and more. We prefer to tell it straight and spare our clients from having a “lifetime” piece that doesn’t, in fact, last a lifetime. 

All diamonds, gems, and metals are hand selected to be specific to your custom designed piece. We use only diamonds and gemstones that meet our high standards of quality and appearance in all our pieces; after all, our name is on the jewelry as well. We make diamond selection an easy process by only showing you great diamonds hand-selected just for you, so no bad choices are even an option. We love to make alternative engagement rings too, so we’re great at using gemstones instead of the more traditional diamond options should that be our client’s preference.

In order to accommodate clients who value higher standards regarding the ethics and sustainability around stone sourcing, we source diamonds regulated by the Kimberley Process, however like most regulatory systems, the KP leaves room for ethical grey areas. To ensure social and environmental standards we offer options like lab grown alternatives.

This is our specialty! We make “new” jewelry from old jewelry or family heirlooms by using the diamonds and gemstones from an heirloom piece and repurposing them into a new design. We recycle the metal from your old jewelry however, we do not use it in ‘new’ piece. Instead, we give you a credit towards your new piece for the value of the old metal, and use guaranteed high quality recycled metal on your new piece. Often, old jewelry has mystery, lower quality alloys. We do what we do so we can be sure the metal in your piece is the highest quality possible. We like to think of it as an earth-friendly exchange of metals.

In addition to custom engagement rings, custom wedding bands, custom statement rings and other custom jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.) we also offer jewelry repurposing services for heirloom jewelry and divorce jewelry, and our Loaner Ring service.

We do not offer engraving services for jewelry that has been purchased somewhere else, but we can certainly incorporate engraving into jewelry bought from us.

Quality is our highest priority and we stand behind the craftsmanship and integrity of our jewelry. We want our clients to be completely happy with their one-of-a-kind pieces, so we will do what it takes to achieve this goal. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we want to know! We provide a lifetime warranty against defects in craftsmanship. However, we charge a nominal fee for repairs due to normal wear and tear.

Cost and Financing

How much does custom jewelry cost?
Many factors impact the price of custom jewelry such as gemstone preferences like type of stone, carat weight, cut and clarity. Additional price influences include metal type, overall dimensions of a piece, design complexity and detail, rarity of gemstones to be sourced, quantity of gemstones to be set, and more. There is no maximum to the price range of our custom jewelry, as we are proud to have access to some of the world’s finest gemstone and diamond specimens. Additionally, since we are a custom outfit, our design possibilities are endless. Financing is available.

We typically have two approaches to designing. We can design around what the client loves or around a budget. We pride ourselves on guiding people with designs and corresponding metals, gemstones & diamonds that best suit their financial needs but that still provide a great value, both visually and in quality. Designing around what you love means that there isn’t a fixed budget, but rather a determined budget range for the general look and materials. Either way, design parameters are part of a conversation that we have at the initial design consultation.

Payments for custom jewelry are divided into three installments. First you pay a design deposit at the end of your initial design meeting if you would like to move forward.. Then we require a fifty percent deposit for all custom pieces, to be paid before commissioned jewelry goes into production. You’ll pay the final 50% installment before delivery.
