Custom Work
Designing and creating custom jewelry is a passion of mine. Whether it’s reimagining an existing piece or starting from scratch, we’ll create together. It’s been an honor to create original pieces for my clients—they are most important to me.
01. Let’s Connect
We’ll start with a conversation—whatever works best for you: in person, by phone, or over email. I’ll ask questions to understand what you’re looking for and how you want to wear the piece (comfort, durability, everyday vs. special occasion). This step is about getting to know you and your vision.
02. Design & Sketching
Based on our conversation, I’ll begin sketching ideas that reflect the heart of your piece. You’ll get to review the designs and share your thoughts. Your input is always welcome—it’s a true collaboration.
03. Estimate & Deposit
Once the design is finalized, I’ll provide a detailed cost estimate. A 50% deposit is required to get started. Your approval means we’re on the same page and ready to begin crafting.
04. Crafting Your Piece
This is where your story comes to life. I may refine your existing metals, reset your stones, and blend them with new materials. Every piece is made with care in my studio using time-honored techniques.
05. Progress & Timing
Custom work takes time—and I’ll keep you in the loop as your piece progresses. Timing depends on my schedule and the complexity of the design, but I’ll do my best to meet your timeline.
06. Delivery & Final Payment
Once your piece is complete, I’ll send a final invoice (with tax and shipping, if needed). When your balance is paid, your one-of-a-kind piece is ready to go home with you.
