Nature as our greatest Muse
What you can expect from our Custom Jewelry Design Process
01
A Breath of Inspiration
It all starts with a conversation. Whether you visit with us in person or connect virtually, we’ll explore your vision together. This initial consultation is where we discover the inspiration behind your piece — a meaningful moment, a beloved gemstone, or simply the desire for something truly unique.
02
Stone & Sketch
Once we’ve captured the essence of your vision, we move to gemstone selection. Whether sourcing the perfect stone or repurposing gems from an existing piece with sentimental value, each stone is chosen with care. A 2D sketch brings the design to life on paper, giving you a first glimpse of your future piece.
03
CAD
Once your sketch is approved, it is brought to life as a precise 3D model using Gematrix software. This stage allows you to explore your design from every angle before casting, with photorealistic rendering that reflects how the finished piece will look.
04
Cast, Set & Hand Finish
The final stage is where the magic happens. Using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, your design is brought into physical form in precious metal. Each gemstone is then carefully set by hand, and every surface is meticulously finished
