Schedule a Design ConsultationMocks and Sketches
We may work out every detail of your design the first time we meet, or we may need to meet more than once, or email drawings before we move your project into the studio.
Made For You
No deposit is required until we are ready to begin the manufacturing process.We don’t just talk design at this point, we also respectfully take into consideration all aspects of lifestyle, budget, and especially purpose. You may be just starting a life together or celebrating many years of love shared. You might be recognizing a special achievement or honoring the passing of someone important to you.
It’s Your Vision
Once the basic concept is finalized we may go straight to fabrication in precious metal. But if appropriate we will make more detailed drawings by hand or in CAD (Computer Aided Design). We keep you involved as we go forward to ensure that the finished piece matches your vision and intent.
Wax Models
From final drawings, if we are not fabricating your jewelry directly in precious metal, we will make a wax model. This is a precise representation of the finished piece, including gems if appropriate. You will have the opportunity to examine and try on the model for fit, and to get a better feel for the finished piece. Changes are relatively easy to make at this point of the process.
A Journey Begins
After the piece of jewelry is cast in the desired metal we set your diamonds or gemstones by hand in our studio. At this stage we also add in any textures or finishes desired such as hammered textures, oxidation or antiquing, or a satin finish. One journey ends and another begins as you take delivery of your new treasure.
