Step OneConsultation & Vision
Every custom piece begins with a conversation.
During your private consultation, we’ll explore your ideas, lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and the story behind the piece you want to create. This may include inspiration imagery, existing jewelry you love, or stones you already own. We’ll also discuss timeline, budget parameters, and how the piece will be worn—ensuring the final design feels both beautiful and practical.
This step sets the foundation for a design that is uniquely yours.
Step TwoDesign & Concept Development
Once your vision is established, we translate it into a refined design concept.
Through detailed sketches and digital renderings, we explore proportion, structure, and stone placement. You’ll see how the piece comes together visually before anything is fabricated, allowing room for thoughtful feedback and refinement. This collaborative stage ensures confidence and clarity before moving forward.
Step ThreeStone Sourcing & Selection
Exceptional design deserves exceptional materials.
We source diamonds and gemstones from trusted partners, prioritizing quality, character, and ethical responsibility. Whether you’re selecting a center stone or accent details, we’ll guide you through options that align with your design goals—offering education and transparency at every step.
If you’re incorporating heirloom stones, they are carefully evaluated and prepared for their next chapter.
Step FourCraftsmanship & Creation
Once the design is approved, your piece is brought to life by skilled artisans.
Every detail—from setting and finish to structural integrity—is executed with precision and care. Pieces are crafted using high-quality precious metals and time-honored techniques, ensuring longevity and wearability alongside beauty.
When your piece is complete, we review it together, ensuring every detail aligns with the original vision. Final sizing adjustments are made if needed, and you’ll receive care guidance to keep your piece looking beautiful for years to come.
