Custom Design
Most people arrive with a feeling rather than a drawing. That’s the right place to start. We’ll sit down with you, work out the details, and build it — from the first sketch to the day you put it on.
A Clear & Collaborative Process
Custom jewelry should be exciting, not intimidating. You’ll know what’s happening at every stage, what it will cost before we begin, and why we’re recommending what we recommend. We help refine the details, find the right diamond or gemstone, and land on a design that balances how it looks, how it’s built, and how it will wear for the next fifty years.
Discovery
01
Understanding
Your Vision
We start by learning how you live and what you’re drawn to — your style, your references, your priorities, your budget. Whether you arrive with fifty saved images or nothing at all, you leave this conversation with a clear starting point.

Diamond or gemstone preferences
Lifestyle and wearability

02
Refining
the Details
Our designers work up concepts from what you’ve told us, then adjust proportion, setting, stone placement, and balance until it’s right. Nothing moves forward until you’re certain — and asking for another revision is part of the process, not an imposition on it.

Bringing the
Piece to Life
Once you approve the design, it goes to the bench. The piece is built, the stones are set by hand, and every detail is checked under magnification before it leaves us. What you receive was made for one person, and it should last long enough to be handed to another.

Common Questions
If yours isn’t here, reach out and we’ll answer it personally.
How does the custom design process work?
It starts with a conversation. We’ll learn about your ideas, style, budget, and what you want the piece to represent. From there, our designers develop the concept, refine the details with you, and bring the approved design to life.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before getting started?
Not at all. You can come in with a detailed idea, a few inspiration photos, an existing piece, or simply a feeling you want the design to capture. Our team will help guide you through the possibilities.
Can you redesign or use materials from an existing piece of jewelry?
Yes. Stones, precious metals, or design elements from an existing or heirloom piece can often be incorporated into something new. We’ll evaluate your jewelry first and recommend the best way to preserve what matters while creating a piece you’ll love to wear.
How much does custom jewelry cost?
Every custom piece is different, so pricing depends on the design, materials, gemstones, and complexity of the work. We’ll discuss your budget early in the process and provide pricing before moving forward with the final design.
How long does custom design take?
Timing depends on the complexity of the design and the work involved in creating it. Your designer will walk you through the expected timeline so you know what to expect before production begins.
Will I be able to review the design before it is made?
Absolutely. The design is developed collaboratively, and we won’t move into production until you’re comfortable with the direction and the final details have been approved.
