Our Custom Design Process

From dream to reality in four simple steps
1

Dream & Discover

We start with your story—who it's for, what they love, and what you're hoping this piece will celebrate. Bring inspiration photos, old jewelry, or just your ideas. We'll help you pull it all together.
2

Design & Sketch

Next, we translate your ideas into sketches and/or digital renderings. This is where we play with shapes, details, and metal choices until everything feels just right.
3

Approve & Refine

Once you love the overall design, we fine-tune the details, confirm stone choices, and review pricing. You'll approve the final design before we start crafting.
4

Create & Reveal

Our bench jewelers bring your design to life with careful craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Then comes the best part—seeing your finished piece and trying it on for the first time.

Let's Design Together!

Custom doesn't have to mean complicated.
We regularly design:

  • Engagement rings and wedding bands
  • Anniversary and "just because" gifts
  • Heirloom redesigns (using metals or stones you already own)
  • Push presents and milestone birthday pieces
  • One-of-a-kind everyday jewelry

Not sure if your idea is possible? Ask us! We're happy to brainstorm options that fit your style and budget.

Give New Life to Meaningful Pieces

Your grandmother's ring. A pendant passed down through generations. We honor the stories behind your heirlooms by transforming them into pieces you'll love to wear today.

  • Evaluate stones and metals with care
  • Honor the original while creating something new
  • Provide estimates before starting
We treat every heirloom with care and respect—and we'll never pressure you to change a piece if you're not ready.
