Frequently Asked Questions - Custom Designing

I've had this ring in my jewelry box for years and haven't worn it because I don't like it … is there anything I can do with it?

YES! Bring those pieces in, whether you don't like the look of them, or even if you are just ready for a change in style. We specialize in custom design. We also now have the technology to show you in 3D what your new piece of jewelry will look like! We can have lots and lots of fun with your jewelry, so bring in your old pieces and let's make something stylish and new for you to wear!

How does this process work, does it take a long time? How much does it cost?

First thing we do is sit down with your old jewelry, loose stones, or just with your ideas and come up with a design. We will draw out the design on paper and get all measurements and information necessary. Then we put it into the computer in a 3-dimensional jewelry design program so you will be able to see your piece of jewelry from every direction. You will get to see the metal color as well as the stone colors. We'll also be able to make changes before the work begins, saving you a lot of time and money in the long run. Once the rendering is approved, we carve the wax using a milling machine. When the wax is finished, it will be functionally perfect, since not even a wax carved by hand can be this exact. The wax is then cast in your choice of metals, 14kt, 18kt, Platinum, or a combination of metals. Then the jewelry is taken to our master stone setters for finishing. They ensure the best possible settings for your stones. We bring the items back in house for final finishing, including a perfect polish. We then present your new jewelry in a beautiful box as you enjoy seeing your design ideas come to reality from a picture we drew just a short time ago!

Custom designing usually takes anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks, completely depending on the complexity of the project, and the timing of all the manufacturing. When we sit down and do our initial designing, we will be able to give you a more definite date.
Each design is very personal, including the stones and metals you choose. Therefore there is no flat price for custom design. When we sit down, we will be able to give you an approximate cost, and when the 3-d rendering is finished, we can give you a final cost as we can give you exact weights of the stones and metals.
