Start by gathering as many reference materials and detailed information about your request. This can be images of my past fabrications you like, sketches you’ve drawn out, a detailed description of your idea, or at minimum some context about your project you would like to discuss in a scheduled one-on-one consultation . You should then decide on budget you feel comfortable with. This can be a range that will help inform the complexity of your design as well as other applicable cost attributed to your design like gemstone rarity, chain type, custom engraving, etc. to commence the detailed design, sourcing, and planning phase.

The starting price for custom silver work is $1,000 and $2,500 for gold. Keep in mind that each project is unique, and pricing will vary based on several factors including the complexity of design, gemstone rarity if stones are used, chain selection/length, optional laser engraving, and hardware storage size(for custom USB request).

Setting a budget beforehand allows me to better tailor the project to your financial comfort zone. The minimum pricing refers to one item or multiple items that met the minimum price threshold.

A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required before any mock ups, researching, designing, sourcing, planning, or pricing of style options is done on your project. The deposit insures your commitment to the project and allows me to dedicate personalized one-on-one attention to your project. Your deposit goes towards the total agreed project cost(once determined). The balance of the project is due within 7 days of the agreed upon estimate.

If any changes are requested after the custom order is paid in full, a $200+ change fee plus any additional cost of materials and labor expenses will be billed to accommodate the request.

Custom design quotes will be valid for 48hrs and are subject to change based on precious metal market fluctuations.

A lot goes into scheduling consultations, designing mock-ups, planing timelines, material sourcing, and time allocation required for custom work. If for any reason you decide that you do not wish to follow through with your order, your non-refundable deposit will be billed as labor. If you decide you want to put your project on hold until a later date, your deposit will be valid towards your order and will not expire. However, if we mutually agree that I cannot accommodate your custom request your deposit will be refunded to you.

After filing out the custom project submission form you will be provided with a link to complete the deposit. You may also follow this Custom Deposit Checkout Link to complete your deposit.

Typically most custom jewelry request are for custom USB necklaces, chains, rings, cuffs/bracelets, or crystal/gemstone necklaces. While these are the most common request, I’m open to all creative custom jewelry request that aligns with my scope of work and aesthetic.

Every custom order request is unique and the options you may be able to customize will be dependent on the project type. Some options you may be able to customize would be the design style, gemstone options, chain choice type/sizes/length, laser engraving, and hardware type/size.

I create jewelry exclusively in precious metals such as 925 sterling silver, gold, and platinum. Various color and karat options for gold may be accommodated upon request including yellow/white/rose 14k, 18k, and 24k.

I do not work with base metals such as steel, copper, bronze, brass, titanium or any plated, coated, or filled metal. 

Compact USB designs feature Samsung USB 3.1 hardware that is water-resistant, x-ray proof, magnetic proof, shock-proof, and temperature-proof with read speed of up to 400/mb per second. 256GB and 128GB options available. Pro-grade designs feature SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.2 1TB Solid State hardware(designs that feature this hardware option are limited due to the large hardware footprint).

I do not accept client-provided materials. However, you may provide me with logo assets or illustrations that are relevant to your custom project. I aim to maintain the integrity of each piece by exclusively providing all required materials.

Turn around times vary based on many factors like the complexity of your request, peak season availability, and current waitlist length. Average turn around time is 4-8 weeks from payment confirmation. These timelines are not guaranteed as many factors may cause fluctuations in turnaround times. If you need an order by a guaranteed date, contact me prior to placing an order to discuss your timeline.

I will do my best to communicate your projected turn around time once when we solidify your design request together.

Depending on the design request, rush orders may be accommodated for an additional rush fee of $300+. Rush orders are typically turned around with in 2 weeks. Contact me prior to placing an order to discuss if your order qualifies for rush timing.

I generally treat every project finish intuitively. Some projects may call for a brushed matte oxidized finish while some may call for a mirror polished finish. I do however treat most projects with a brushed oxidized finish. Oxidizing the metal enhances the contrast between recessed detailed areas and allows a bright finish of any raised detail areas. If you prefer a particular finish, feel free to clarify your request during the custom design phase.

My personal collection of gemstones is constantly changing, however if you would like to request a particular stone, gemstone, or crystal please inquire during the custom design process. If your desired gemstone is not available in my collection, I may be able to source from trusted gem dealers and established direct-from-mine relationships.

During the design phase of your project I can provide you with images and videos of my current gemstone collection based on your specific stone request.

Any length is available during the custom design process. The most common necklace chain lengths measure between 18”-30”. If you would like a specific chain length, please choose your desired length during the design process. If you need help choosing your desired chain length, you may use a necklace you already own as a length you feel comfortable with or if you plan to layer your new necklace with other pieces, take the combined length of the new chain and pendant into consideration. You may also take a piece twine or any loose material around the neck to simulate the chain and pendant length then measure that length with a ruler or tape measure.
