How does the custom jewelry design process work? 

The process typically begins with a consultation where you share your ideas, inspiration, photos, or sketches. From there, our jeweler develops a concept, creates a design for review, builds a model, and then crafts the finished piece.

How long does custom jewelry take to create?
