ABOUT THE BESPOKE PROCESS

Bespoke design is all about creating a piece of jewelry made for you and you only.
 Weather it be a personal amulet with particular intention behind it, wedding or engagement rings to celebrate union with your loved one, a milestone-celebrating jewel, or simply a gift of self love, a custom-tailored jewel will really elevate the occasion with a special piece of jewelry to keep for life and even to pass down. 
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. I recommend taking a look through my instagram and website and screenshot pieces with elements or styles that speak to you. If you have a specific style in mind that you do not see amongst my past works, I recommend searching for some reference images which we can use as inspiration to weave into the new design. Please note I will never copy somebody elses work! But references can be useful to understand exactly what style or aesthetic you are going for. 

 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 will later be deducted from the first payment of 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 pricing 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.

Sometimes one round of designs is enough to land on the design, and other times a back and forth of designing and feedback will begin 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 if first downpayment has not been received after a week from the original quote. This is to account for any spikes in the metal market)

DELIVERY

Generally speaking, this process takes about 2- 4 months to complete once the design deposit has come through. 

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 custom work 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...
