Creative Process
FINE JEWELRY
CONSULTATION
Whether you know exactly what you want, have a shell of an idea, or want me to create a design from scratch or based on an existing design, we start here, with a complimentary design consultation.
I'll ask a lot of questions and take a lot of information from you, to ensure your piece is uniquely yours. This is also where you provide a budget range so that we can effectively manage expectations, and place a deposit.
DESIGN + PROTOTYPE
You'll receive a prototype image of your (or my) vision brought to life. We'll talk about stone types, quantity, sizes and grades as well as metal types. There's lots of flexibility in this stage to make the piece fit your vision and budget.
Then, we'll finalize the aesthetics of the piece before moving to the next stage.
CAD DEVELOPMENT
A CAD (Computer Assisted Design) will be created using 3D imaging. You'll see a video image that allows a 360-degree view of the design.
Again, adjustments can be made based on design preferences and budget. You'll get a resin model to try on and one more chance to make any tweaks and confirm size before we move into production.
This is a critical stage. Upon final approval, you'll pay in full and no further changes can be made.
PRODUCTION
Once you've approved the resin model and made final payment, your piece will be produced to exacting standards by my team, then I will inspect for approval.
It will ship to you expedited and insured. And that's it! Prepare to fall in love with your bespoke piece of jewelry and receive the boundless compliments!
