Step One- Getting to Know You.
This helps me design the perfect piece!

• Tell me about the person who will wear this piece.  
  What do they like, what is their style? What do they do for fun and work?
• What is your budget?
  A custom ring in 14k gold will start around $2,000.  
  Design intricacy, materials, and stone choices will affect the price. 
• Sizing!  (This is a biggie.)  
  I will need to know the ring size, bracelet or necklace length, and approximate stone sizes.
• What is your timeframe? 
  Expect 6-8 weeks for completion of the piece. 
  Finding the perfect stone can sometimes take extra time.
  A rush is considered under 5 weeks and may incur an extra rush fee.

Step Two- Design Time! (Oooh, fun!)
I sketch some ideas.

• Once I have a few ideas on paper, I click a quick photo and text ideas to you.  
  If this piece will be a surprise, let me know the best way to contact you!
• Tell me what sketches you like.  I can make changes, add details and create estimates.

Step Three- Let’s Get Going!
It will be stunning!

• Once you decide on the design and stones, I ask for a 40% deposit.  
  When the deposit is received, I begin ordering materials.
• Expect 3-4 weeks from the deposit date for the job to be complete.   
  This time includes ordering materials, shipping, fabrication, polishing, and photos!

For some complicated designs that do not allow for easy sizing, I may request that you to try a piece on while it is in progress to make sure it fits the way you want.
