Custom Design

Our forte and our passion… We listen carefully to your needs, desires, and expectations. We spend countless hours to ensure that the finished product is even more stunning than you anticipate. We treasure the multi-layered collaboration between you, our designer, and the bench jeweler and look forward to guiding you through the process.

The Custom Experience

1

A Personal Consultation

We begin by meeting with you to get a sense of your mission, goals, style preferences, and budget.  Our goal is to ask the questions that will help us achieve your vision.

Selecting Materials

Using visual aids, we determine color, size, quality, and style.  Direction decided, we begin sourcing the gemstones and materials from which you may choose.

Creating a CAD

While many of our designs are made entirely by hand from our pencil renderings, some are best made by the casting process.  We begin with a CAD, a visual representation of the piece. At this stage we can make changes to the smallest details.

Wax Model and Metal Casting

Once your vision is achieved, we create a wax for you to review.  Casting, stone setting, and the final polish complete the process.
