The full timeline to for creating a custom piece depends on several factors: the complexity of the design, the time required to source materials, the intricacy of construction, and our communication and decision-making speed.

For simple designs, projects typically take 1-2 months; for more complex designs, 2-4 months; for extremely complex pieces with significant back-and-forth and intricate construction, 4-6 months.

It’s always best to reach out ahead of time and allow more time than you anticipate needing for the piece. Once we finalize the design, I’ll do my best to provide you with an accurate completion date and will keep you informed as things progress.

It depends! After carefully inspecting your stone and upon my approval, we can use it as long as it meets my standards for hardness and quality. The custom process is a higher investment of time and money, so I recommend using the highest quality stones. Please note that I am not liable for any damage that occurs to a stone you've provided while it's in the production process.

Yes! I send my gold scraps to a refiner, so it won’t be incorporated into the piece itself. However, I can apply a credit to your project based on the current spot price of your gold once recieved.

Once we’ve had our initial consultation and I've gathered enough information to start the design process, I will submit my first round of designs to you with up to three stages of revisions. You can make changes at any point during this process. Once you sign the agreement contract and pay your 50% deposit, that's when I start sourcing your materials, and therefore, design changes can no longer be made.

To get started, I ask for a $250 design fee to create the first round of sketches. This is a non refundable deposit regardless of whether you decide to move forward with the project. Once the final design is approved I ask for an estimated 50% deposit on the piece. Center stones over 1 carat may be also be paid for in a separate invoice. Once your custom jewelry is completed, I will send another invoice to your email for the remaining 50%, plus shipping if applicable, to be paid before shipping or delivering your piece to you.

Due to the time involved in the designing and sourcing process specifically for you, custom pieces are not returnable or refundable. I ensure that every decision made along the way is approved by you before moving on, so it’s essential for you to provide honest feedback so we can design exactly what you want.

Silver will tarnish over time and needs occasional polishing to revive its shine. Gold however doesn't tarnish in a way that's noticeable to the naked eye and requires much less maintenance. To read more about proper jewelry care, cleaning, and storage visit the “Jewelry Care Page"
