Our Custom Process:

Consultation
Every piece begins here.  Our designer will sit down with you one on one.  We will listen to your ideas and offer whatever design advice we can.  Whether you have an idea of what you want or none whatsoever, our designers will work with you until we have the best concept and vision for your piece.  This service is absolutely free and with no obligation.

Design
After your consultation, our designers will be able to begin a sketch or create a CAD concept rendering of one or more designs for your approval.  We will keep at it until we get it right.  At this point, we will also be able to give you a more accurate estimate of the cost of materials that will be needed.

Wax Carving
Most pieces need to be cast, so we will then create a wax or Resin master model.  Once completed, you can view your model to see if it is exactly what you’re looking for. If not, we will make adjustments at no additional charge, and we are never offended if the wax does not turn out as you expected. We will work with you until we get it exactly right.

Casting
Once you have approved your design, it is now time for the casting of your piece.  Using the latest technology, our craftsmen create your piece with expert skill and artistry.  Our work is all done in-house, which helps us to keep our costs and, ultimately, your price lower.

Stone Setting & Final Touches
Many of the rings that are mass produced use inferior techniques when setting the stones into jewelry.  Our craftsmen hand set every stone until every detail is right.  Finishing the piece with the final stage of the production process, which adds texture and any detailing needed.  

Our craftsmen are among the best in the industry and we know you’ll agree when you have that incredible creation in your hands.  Feel free to look through our custom design gallery to see our quality of work.
