Custom Design

CUSTOM DESIGN:

Custom design is probably the most exciting part of giving and receiving jewelry! It is creating and bringing to life an expression of commitment, your love, your dreams... your unique creation!

And custom design is one of the things that we love to do. If you do not find what you've envisioned in our stock, we can design it for you and bring your vision to life.

This is how we do it:

• GETTING STARTED ~

  Our jewelers are artists. They are craftsmen. And are talented, skilled, and experienced. Most of all, we are able to interpret your needs and wants, converting that into a jewelry design to fit you perfectly. Your design should suit your personal style, your lifestyle, your budget, and your time frame. If we can't do that, we will tell you from the beginning. No need to waste everyone's time. We also won't reduce the quality or weight of the materials to suit a budget to the point that it affects the integrity and beauty of the ring. Although we hate to admit it, there is a limit to the magic that we make. We are limited by the market costs of precious metals and fine gemstones... but, we do our best to work within your budget and can accept various forms of payment, even working out staged delivery if needed.

• INITIAL DESIGN DRAFT ~

  We will meet with you during working hours or by private appointment to begin to define your design. First on paper, then by way of CAD Technology (Computer Aided Design). There is a non-refundable design fee for this service usually ranging from $100 to $300, depending upon the complexity of your design. It will be applied to the final costs of creating your piece once approval is given. We will produce shaded/line style engineering drawings, as well as full-color renderings of your piece. We can even show you what a ring will look like on a virtual hand so you can get a sense of the real proportions!

• ACCURATE PRICE QUOTE ~

  At the point that you approve your design, we will be able to quote you an exact metal weight and number/size of gemstones and diamonds, if any. The labor for finishing and assembling the mounting and the labor for setting any stones and detailing the mounting will also be included. All of this translates into a final estimate that is within $150.00, depending on the market price on the day you make your deposit. We require one-half down on deposit with the balance paid on delivery.

JEWELRY RE-DESIGN:

If you have a piece of jewelry that you love and want to modify slightly, our expert jewelers will work with you to redesign it and make it look like a brand new piece. If you have an old wedding set and want to reset your diamonds in a new mounting, we can do that too! Our skilled jewelers take pride in their craftsmanship and can reassure you that the results will be above and beyond your expectations.
