Do I need to book a consultation before purchasing a custom design?
You can purchase a custom design before your consultation. We will contact you to schedule a time to discuss all the details of your desired custom piece. If you prefer to book a consultation first, you can book a consultation here.
I want to know an approximate price for my custom idea before purchasing the design, can you help?
Absolutely! We can provide you with an estimated price range based on the details you provide for your custom jewelry idea. This estimate will be based on the type of materials, the stone you choose, and the complexity of the design.
To get started, you can either request a custom quote by filling out the form or book a consultation with us.
This will help us better understand your vision and offer you an accurate price range before committing to the CAD design.
Once the design details are finalized, we’ll give you a precise quote, and the deposit you pay for the CAD design will be applied to your final order.
How long does it take to create my design?
Once you place your deposit and we’ve discussed the details of your custom piece, the initial CAD design process typically takes around 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, our designers will create a digital model of your jewelry for your approval. Afterward, any revisions or adjustments are made until you're completely satisfied. Once the design is approved, we will move forward with the production phase, which usually takes an additional 3 to 6 weeks.
Do I need to have a specific design in mind before starting?
Not at all! Many clients come to us with an idea, while others need inspiration. During our consultation, we’ll help guide you through the process, from design concepts to finalizing the perfect piece. We’re here to help bring your vision to life.
Can I choose my own gemstones for a custom piece?
Absolutely! You can choose from a wide selection of gemstones, including diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and lab-grown stones. During the design process, we’ll guide you in selecting the best stone for your design and budget.
Can you redesign an existing piece of jewelry?
Yes, we can redesign or upcycle existing pieces to create something new. Whether you want to repurpose old diamonds, gold, or other materials, we can help you transform them into a modern, custom piece.
What is the deposit for the custom design service?
The deposit covers the cost of the initial CAD design, which is the first step in creating your custom piece. Once the design is finalized, we will provide you with a detailed quote and proceed with production. The deposit is applied to the final cost of the jewelry, and the remaining balance is due before production begins.
What happens if I don’t like the CAD design?
We’ll work with you closely to ensure the CAD design matches your vision. If there are any changes or adjustments needed, we’ll make revisions until you’re completely satisfied before moving to production. Your approval is essential before we proceed.
Is there a warranty or guarantee for custom jewelry?
We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship. All custom jewelry comes with a warranty covering manufacturing defects, and we offer lifetime repair services for issues such as resizing or stone replacements. Please contact us for more details on our warranty policy.
Can I finance my custom jewelry purchase?
Yes, we offer financing options through trusted partners like Affirm, Klarna, and Shop Pay Installments. You can choose a payment plan that fits your budget and proceed with your custom jewelry purchase with ease.
