ABOUT THE BESPOKE PROCESS
Bespoke design is all about creating a piece of jewelry for you and you only.Weather it be an engagement ring, celebratory gift or simply showing yourself some self love, a custom-tailored jewel will make the occasion even more special.
Let me take you what the process looks like...
FOUNDATIONS
Getting to know more about the lifestyle and personality of who we are designing for is an essential first step in the designing process.
With this in mind, I have created a questionerre to better understand who we are designing for and what the project entails. If you have a specific style or aesthetic in mind, I recommend searching for some reference images to illustrate your ideas.
Once I have gone over your inquiry, answered any questions you may have and decide to take on your project, a $50 design deposit (which counts towards the payment for your piece) will secure your spot in my production schedule and we will move on to the design phase.
DESIGN
Now that I know who will be receiving the jewel and the occassion at hand, I will begin designing and get back to you with a first round of ideas and estimates.
This may include hand drawn sketches, videos of gemstones and sharing photos of my past work to use as visual references. I will bring my knowledge and experience in jewelry to the table to offer any insight and suggestions to the design at hand.
Often times one round of designs is enough to land on the design, but if this is not the case we will begin. a back and forth until you are excited about the piece and confident we have nailed the design.

PAYMENT
The first payment is to be sent once the final design and quote have been agreed upon. This will be a 50% non-refundable deposit, minus the $50 design depoit.
The remaining 50% is due once the piece is completed and before it is shipped/picked up. Shipping costs will also be accounted for in this second payment.
(NOTE-quotes may be subject to change after seven days from the original quote. This is to account for any spikes in the metal market)

DELIVERY
Generally speaking, a bespoke piece takes 2- 4 months to complete once the first downpayment has come though.
If you have any hard deadlines please let me know and I will do my best to meet them, but I encourage you to get the process started with plenty of time.

Thank you for thinking of me to bring your special jewel to life!
I consider bespoke pieces to be some of the most fulfilling work I do. Crafting a jewel knowing exactly who it is for and keeping them in mind as the creation unfolds results in an ultra-personal treasure to cherish for life and even pass down.
I look forward to hearing more about what yours will be all about...
