Step 1
Looking to make your ideas come to life? Collaborate with our expert jeweler, or skilled sales team to discuss your jewelry design ideas. During your consultation, we work closely with you to make sure your vision is understood, or generate ideas if you aren't sure! We can utilize family owned gemstones or provide gemstones as needed. By the end of your consultation, a quote will provided for your specific design.
Step 2
Once the design is imagined, we have several ways of making it come to life! Most often, we opt for CAD (a computer assisted design) to create realistic 3D images. Our goldsmith is also skilled in making wax models and hand fabrication. Once the CAD or wax is complete, we share the deisgn via email or in-person. We can proceed with the design as-is, in the event that it’s exactly as you envisioned; or feedback can be provided if there are any changes you’d like to see made. Upon final approval of your renderings, the CAD is sent offsite to be cast.
Step 3
Once the casting of your jewelry arrives to the store, we carefully set the stones and hand finish your piece of jewelry. Behind the scenes while this is taking place, we evaluate the gemstones for insurance: color and clarity grading, exact measurements, weight, etc. After final polishing and evaluation, pictures are taken of the final product, both for our records and to show future clients the possibilities of a custom created piece!
Step 4
The day you have been waiting for has finally arrived! Each custom creation comes with necessary paperwork for insurance as well as instructions to best care for your new custom jewelry. To our team, pick up day is the most exciting; it is where we see tears of joy, gasps, smiles, and even proposals!
