Custom Jewelry
Jewelry is one of the most personal forms of art you can own. Important pieces of jewelry like engagement rings, wedding bands, heirlooms, and pieces to commemorate loved ones or special occasions become a part of our lives. We wear many of these pieces every day. We wear them on our skin, we fidget with them throughout the day, and we wear them often enough that they become a symbol of who we are and what we hold dear.
Custom Process
We love to work with clients to craft the perfect piece of custom jewelry, whether something brand new or a reimagining of heirloom pieces. Working with us means you will be an active participant in the creative to craft bespoke jewelry that you will love for years to come.
Consult
We kick things off with a consultation to discuss your project. We can meet with you in person in our gallery, over a video call, or even over email.
For this beginning phase of the project, we will sit with you to go over your ideas, examples of what you do (and don't) like, questions you have, etc.
We pride ourselves on approaching custom work as a collaborative process and talk about pros/cons on approaches and materials, educate on techniques and options, and truly understand you and your needs. Once we decide to move forward, we collect a design or stone sourcing deposit (starting at $250).
Designs
After we discuss your project in our consultation meeting, we get to work on designs, materials sourcing (if needed), and cost estimates.
Each project is a little different in this phase. One of the benefits of having a diversity of metalsmithing skills and approaches within our team and with our partner artisans is that we can leverage an assortment of materials and jewelry creation approaches to create something truly unique. We might create your designs with 3D modeling software, or we might create a hand sketch.
However we approach your project, our goal is to ensure you are as excited about the direction as we are.
Creation
Once we are ready to go with a selected design, we get to work making your piece of wearable art.
Some of our projects start off as a 3D design created on a computer and then are made into a wax that is then cast in the metal, followed by stone setting, finishing, etc. Other times we start out by melting metal into what is called an ingot and then we forge, mill, and shape the metal into wire, sheet, etc. in order to handcraft all the elements directly in the metal.
One of the reasons we are all so passionate about metalsmithing and jewelry is because there are literally hundreds of techniques, tools, and approaches to working metal and stone and that diversity creates so many opportunities for creativity. We everaging all of these approaches to create unique pieces for our customers.
Delivery
Once your piece of jewelry is done we reach out to you to set up final payment and delivery.
We love when our customers come into the gallery to pick up their jewelry so we can see their reaction, but we work with people all over, so we can also mail the finished pieces to you. We offer appraisals, info on insuring your jewelry, and care and maintenance info with all of our pieces.
We recommend you have your jewelry cleaned and inspected now and again and we will go over all of that with you as well.
Our metalsmiths have decades of experience and we stand by our work with a one year warranty on our craftsmanship.
