I begin with a consultation to discuss your ideas, budget, gemstones, and design preferences. Once the design direction is approved, I create sketches, CAD renderings, or hand-carved wax models before production begins.

Custom projects vary in price depending on the design, materials, and gemstones. A $400 initial design fee is required to begin the process. This covers the time involved in researching and sourcing gemstones, exploring design possibilities, and developing the initial direction for your piece. The fee is credited toward the final purchase price.

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the piece and whether the required gemstones are already available or need to be sourced. Most custom pieces are completed within approximately 4 -8 weeks after the design is approved and all materials have been secured.

Yes, I can often work with heirloom or existing diamonds and gemstones. Each piece must first be evaluated to confirm the stone’s condition, value, and suitability for the new design. Some softer or more delicate gemstones may not be suitable for resetting.

For valuable pieces, a current appraisal or purchase receipt is required, and the client is responsible for maintaining insurance coverage while the piece is in transit and in the studio. Please do not send any jewelry before receiving shipping instructions.

Yes. I work with both natural and lab-grown diamonds, depending on the design and budget. The colored gemstones I source are exclusively natural.

In many cases, yes. Existing gold may be credited toward your new piece or incorporated into the design, depending on the project.
