Consultation

Book a design consultation with me in the privacy and comfort of my studio or over the phone. We will discuss your inspiration, vision, budget, and timeline of your project. The initial design Consultations are complimentary, pressure free, and fun! 

 

 

Design

Using your inspiration, ideas, and specifications, I provide a design board of 3-5 unique digital sketches for you to examine and choose from. Once you have examined the sketches provided, we can discuss any feedback and revisions you may have.  I will provide any additional sketches and changes until you get exactly what you want.

Once we finalize the design sketch, a CAD (computer aided design) rendering will be produced for you. This is a 3D digital image showing every angle of your design for your approval. Once approved, the 3D image is then printed using a 3D printer to create an actual size resin model of your piece to examine and try on. This is an excellent visual for you and is used to determine proportion, design details, and layout. Nothing is produced until I have your final approval on the design. Once the design has been approved I will provide a total cost for the piece completed. I require 50% payment upfront and a signed custom design contract.

Your ring is cast in your desired metal choice, stones are set by hand, and the piece is polished and finished to perfection. Once the ring is received and inspected carefully, I will provide a complimentary insurance appraisal. When your item is ready, I will contact you for pickup or delivery.
