Custom Design

Custom Design

All of my custom work is tailored, meaning I adapt pieces from my existing collection to suit your vision. Together, we’ll combine elements from my designs to create something uniquely yours. I do not recreate designs from other jewelers or the internet, and I cannot replicate a missing earring unless it’s one of my own creations.

Turnaround times vary, but most custom pieces are completed within 4–6 weeks. If you have a specific deadline, please note it in the client form below.

Heirloom Redesign

If you have old jewelry at home, especially pieces with sentimental meaning or loose gems you've always wanted set, I'd love to work with you! Let's collaborate to re-imagine something new.

Tailored Custom Design

If you see a design in my collection, but want to tweak it to better suit you, I can make that happen! This can come in the form of setting different gems, altering sizes, or plug & play with different design elements to create a whole new one-of-a-kind piece.

Custom Design Policies

Custom Design Policies

We begin with an informal 30 minute complimentary consultation to review your custom request (this covers items like budget, timeline, and design). If after this consultation you're ready to move forward with the formal custom process, a $250 non-refundable deposit secures a formal design meeting & is credited toward your final cost.

  • Deposit & Pricing: All custom work starts at $2,000; final price depends on design complexity, materials, and labor, plus tax/shipping if applicable. Work is done only in 18K+ gold.
  • Formal Design Meeting: This is a dedicated 1 1/2 hour session where we work one-on-one to define your design goals. If needed, I’ll create 3–5 renderings with official quotes sent after. Bring items reviewed during our informal discussions including design ideas and any heirloom jewelry/gems related to the piece.
  • Payment Schedule: Once a design is chosen, a 50% non-refundable deposit secures your spot on my production calendar; the balance is due at pickup or before shipping. Deposits are non-refundable due to the custom nature of the work.
  • Heirloom Redesign: Gem removal depends on the setting and gem type; pearls and some fragile stones may not be removable. As I’m not a gemologist, I can’t assess gem value—please see an appraiser beforehand.
