FAQ

Frequenty Asked Questions About Custom Jewelry

How expensive is a custom ring?

Custom jewelry ranges in price. We have made custom solitaire pendants which feature one diamond or gemstone for under $800. Custom engagement rings start around $1,500 for just the ring. Complicated designs with multiple metals tend to be more expensive. Most pieces range from $2,000 to $6,000 excluding large diamonds or gemstones. Estimates are given before the project begins.

How long does a custom piece take?

We can create a model and custom ring in as little as 2 weeks; however, that never happens. Usually the process takes around 6 weeks. Creating a 3D model and agreeing on a design typically takes the longest amount of time especially if we do a few iterations. Casting and crafting the piece normally takes about 2 to 3 weeks.

Can I use my diamonds or gemstones?

Yes! We love crafting jewelry that repurposes diamonds or gemstones from unwanted or inherited pieces. We work with you to identify and create a custom piece that can use these (sometimes mismatched) parts. However, if you do not own your perfect diamond or gemstone, we love helping you with that part of the purchase as well.

Can you duplicate or copy a ring I have or saw?

Yes, we can make an exact replica of a piece of jewelry or ring you have or saw elsewhere. We commonly make replica of heirloom rings, so more family members can enjoy a piece. In addition, we can duplicate a costume piece in fine materials.

Will I like it?

Our process works. Whether you have a blank slate and want us to create ideas or you have a piece you have seen and want to recreate, we take steps and iterate to know we get it right before you even see a final product. We print the model on a 3D printer and have you try on before approving purchase, so you do not need to imagine what the piece will look like. If a piece just is not right, we are small shop and will work with you fairly make a piece you love.

Who designs the piece?

It is collaborative. We do design pieces for us, and they are available to purchase. However, most custom pieces start with a cue from you. We develop ideas around that cue and ensure the piece is properly designed to be worn and enjoyed. In addition, we will contribute design details we have seen and liked if we see fit.

Do you offer any discounts or promotions?

We have not offered discounts or promotions or sales in over 15 years. We price our jewelry fairly everyday of the week and every week of the year. It is easier for you and us that way.
