THE PROCESS


Create your dream piece

Custom jewelry design involves creating a unique, personalized piece of jewelry tailored specifically to your preferences and style.

Creating a custom made piece of jewelry is a highly personal experience. From the very first sketches to the final, finished piece, each custom made journey has a story of its own and is created entirely in my studio.

This process allows you to work closely with me to bring your vision to life, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece that is embedded with your personal details.

It's personal

A custom designed piece is very personal. It holds a significant sentimental value, making it a cherished heirloom that will be passed down through generations to come.

Custom made 
just for you

Every detail, from the choice of metals and gemstones to the overall design, is customized with your story and personal details.

The Journey

You will follow the journey of your custom designed piece of jewelry. From an idea, to the sketches, to a hand carved wax model that you get to try on before receiving the beautiful, finished piece.

How does it work?

Request an appointment

Start by filling the form to give me an idea of what you want to create: repurpose old jewelry, wedding bands, anniversary pieces, engagement rings or anything else.

If you have sketches, ideas, notes or a pinterest board send them along to give me an outline of your ideal jewelry piece. Any visual inspirations that you may have collected along the way will be extremely helpful to get a sense of the style you want to create. 

A conversation about your project

We'll have a first 30 minute meeting, that can be virtual or in person, to access the scope of your project and deadlines. A second consultation that will last 1 to 2 hours will ensue, where we will discuss at length purpose, wearability, meaning and personal details.  

At this stage, a 50% deposing will be required to continue working on your project.

Design proposals & Quote

You will receive a document that will entail different design choices, with sketches and estimates for the different options. Each proposal will outline the details of the project, materials, sizes and cost. 

Once you’ve reviewed the proposals, you can make smaller adjustments to the designs. Once the actual creation of the piece starts it won’t be possible to make any other changes, so this is a crucial decision moment. 

Your order will then begin production. Production times vary from 6 to 16 weeks depending on the complexity of the project and on your spot on my waiting list. 

Updates and delivery

You will get updates on the creation of the piece, either by receiving photos or videos or by coming to the studio and trying your piece of jewelry while it's still a hand carved wax model.

Once completed, you can pick it up in person or I can have it shipped to you (with insurance). The balance will be due upon completion and before any delivery and shipment is made.
