Having jewelry custom-designed for you is a golden opportunity to get EXACTLY what you want! And if you follow our step-by-step guide, you'll get the best possible value for a one-of-a-kind piece that is uniquely and exclusively yours.

There are two reasons why you would be requesting a custom design from us:

1. our site doesn't have exactly what you're looking for and you'd like us to design a piece exactly to your taste or
2. the item you attempted to buy has been sold and you'd like us to create something similar
   1. by using the original mold, in which case it would be the same design with minor modifications and the price range would stay the same unless you wanted something major like changing a topaz to a diamond or
   2. by making a new mold, in which case the price range would stay the same unless you wanted a major change like replacing a topaz by a diamond or requesting a design feature that makes casting more expensive

In either case, the process is similar. The price will be affected though by the amount of "uniqueness" built into the design. Here's why. The cost of custom-designed jewelry is the sum of three things:

1. the cost of the precious metal
2. the cost of the gemstones
3. the cost of the design

You can control all three items to stay within a budget. For the metal and gemstones, you can choose the type and quantity. Together we can manage the cost of design, mainly by communicating clearly.

In effect, the more time you spend making your needs clear to us, the less time we need to spend on the design. And we'll always let you know the most economical way of doing things.

As a simple example of how design costs can affect the total cost, if you had chosen an item on our site that was already sold, we can do something similar in the same price range, especially if the mold is still available and we can make just a minor change.

If the original mold is no longer available, it would cost more to do a similar piece, but not a whole lot, because all the design details have already been figured out and not a lot of communicating back and forth between us would be needed.

Now, here are the steps in the custom-design process.

Step 1

You write to us with a description of what you want by completing the custom-design form on our site.

We've organized and simplified the form as much as possible, but you've probably noticed we're asking you to provide quite a bit of information, including such things as your phone number and address. This is mainly to streamline our design communications and definitely NOT to bother you with sales pitches.

Step 2

We send you an automatic reply to acknowledge your inquiry and to repeat the steps involved in creating your custom-designed jewelry. At this point you've aleady completed 2 of 6 steps!

Step 3

One of our designers reviews your inquiry and responds personally to you, thus initiating a dialog that will result in a design concept detailed enough for us to prepare a firm price quote. This first contact with you will usually be by phone, mostly to reassure you that there's a real person looking after your needs.

Step 4

Step 4 is the preliminary design process. It involves several communications, usually by email, but by phone too when needed. We'll also likely exchange a few sketches and photos. At some point in the process, when both parties feel they understand one another, we'll have the information we need to give you a firm price quote.

Our firm price quote will include a request for a non-refundable deposit. The amount depends on the total value of the order, but is typically $100-$150.

Step 5

After you've accepted our price quote and we've received your deposit, we start work on Step 5, which is the final design process. Count on 20 days for this step.

If the design involves the creation of a wax model, we will send you a photo of it before proceeding to casting. At his stage, minor changes are still possible.

As soon as we've completed your order, we'll send you a high-resolution photo to review. At his stage, virtually no changes are possible, except for surface things like engraving.

Step 6

Upon receipt of your balance of payment, we fedex your exclusive custom-designed jewelry to you and typically, you receive it the following day.
