Frequently Asked Questions
Custom Design
How does the custom jewelry design process work?
The process involves three key steps:
- Consultation: We start with a personalized consultation to understand your vision and ideas for the piece.
- Design and Review: After the consultation, we create a detailed design or 3D rendering for you to review. You can request changes or approve the design at this stage.
- Craftsmanship and Delivery: Once the design is approved, our artisans begin crafting your piece. When completed, we securely ship the final jewelry to you.
How long does the custom design process take?
The time frame depends on the complexity of the design, but typically, the process takes 2-3 weeks from consultation to delivery. We will keep you updated throughout each step of the process.
Can I request changes to the design during the process?
Yes! During the Design and Review stage, you can request changes to ensure the final piece meets your expectations. We will work with you until the design is perfect.
What materials do you use for custom jewelry?
We use only the finest ethically sourced materials, including high-quality diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals, to ensure your custom piece is crafted to the highest standards.
Is a deposit required?
Yes, a 50% deposit is required to begin the creation of your custom jewelry order.
