The Custom Design Process
It brings me great joy to utilize my expertise in jewelry design to transform your unique vision into reality. I've been working in the industry for over a decade. By visiting this page, you'll gain a better understanding of the steps involved in the custom jewelry design process. If you already have a specific idea in mind, please reach out via the contact link below to schedule a complimentary consultation appointment. I'd be happy to discuss your vision further over a phone call. I look forward to speaking with you!
Initial Consultation
During this call we will discuss your concept, budget, gemstones or diamonds, metal type, ring size and any other important details. This can be done over the phone, a zoom call or an in person meeting, whichever method suits you best!
Renderings
Using this gathered information, I will begin to explore design sketches and then translate your vision within a 3D Modeling Computer Aided Design Program. This enables me to obtain a highly accurate representation of the design, including precise gram weights and stone sizes for pricing purposes. I will then create photorealistic renderings, allowing you to envision the final piece with remarkable clarity and realism.
Wax Viewing
Once the renderings are ready, you will have the opportunity to review and approve them, or request any desired modifications. To provide you with a tangible representation, a wax model will be 3D printed in actual scale for your final approval prior to casting. You have the option to examine the wax model in person, or alternatively, I can ship it to you or send you detailed photos and videos for your consideration.
Stone Setting & Polishing
Once you have given your approval for the 3D wax model, the design will proceed to the next stages of casting, polishing, and stone setting. For custom pieces or intricate diamond setting, I collaborate with my partner, who boasts 25 years of experience as a skilled bench jeweler. Together, we work closely to complete the design and ensure its flawless execution, combining our respective strengths to deliver exceptional results.
Delivery!
Once the piece has been polished and all the stones have been expertly set, it is time to present you with the final piece of jewelry! This is the exciting and gratifying moment where you can admire your vision brought to life!
