Custom Jewelry Design - The Process

STEP ONE

Consultation

Let's chat!
The process starts with an initial fact gathering consultation (via ZOOM, phone or a visit to the showroom). This consultation is free of charge and helps us understand what you are looking for, your design tastes, lifestyle and budget.

This step helps both of us determine if Danielle's work will meet your expectations and needs.

Gem Stone Sourcing / Family Gems

STEP TWO

Danielle will responsibly source stones for you based on your design, ethics, desired quality, and budget.

At this point in the process, a $200 non-refunded fee is due to cover time needed for the research/search and/or shipping cost of stones. *Please note that this fee will be deducted from your balance at the end of the project.

If you have family/heirloom stones that you wish to use, Danielle can evaluate them and is thrilled to incorporate usable family gems into your new design. -- Heirloom re-design is one of her passions! ♻️

Sketches

STEP THREE

This is where the creativity begins!
Danielle will take all of your inspiration, ideas, and specifications and bring them to life on paper. While sketching, she will account for durability, timeless design, structural integrity, and staying within your budget.

We will meet again (via ZOOM or in the showroom) and go through feedback and revisions until you get exactly what you were envisioning. Danielle wants you to love your design!

CAD / Wax Work / Fabrication

STEP FOUR

How it's made matters!
Different designs require different production techniques:

  • Some designs will be drawn in CAD and a 3-D model is printed. Then that model is cast in metal.
  • Some designs will be hand carved in wax. Then the wax model is cast in metal.
  • Some designs are hand fabricated directly from metal and no model is made.
  • Some designs use a mixture of these different techniques.

Danielle will discuss with you which technique is required to make your design. If a model is made, you will get to see it, try it on and approve it before it is turned into metal. In most cases, this is the longest step in custom process.

Delivery

STEP FIVE

Worth the wait!
Custom projects timelines will vary, based on the complication of the design and Danielle's queue. It can be as little as a 3 weeks or up to several months. We will discuss your needs and the timeline for your project during the designing process.

When the project is complete, Danielle will provide care and cleaning information, any appraisal information, and gemstone certification when applicable.

And all jewelry will come in a pretty, eco-friendly packaging that is perfect for gifting or popping the question!
