Custom Jewellery

Jewellery as Unique as You Are


One-of-a-kind design experience helps you make a personal statement that mass-produced jewellery cannot.

Custom orders are one of my favorite processes of being a jewellery artist.

If you love my work and desire to have a unique, intimate, one-of-a-kind piece made just for you, I would be honored to create for you the perfect, timeless piece for your wedding, birthday, anniversary or just because.

No project is too small, no memory too insignificant.

I will work with you on a personal custom design, making sketches building the exact design you have always wanted. Creating an original design with the style, details, colors and shapes you had only dreamed of.


How It Works

Designed by me. Inspired by you.


Process 1st Stage

Step 1 – Design consultation

The first stage starts with you. What is your story, special occasion? We will go through the nuances of your future one-of-a-kind jewellery piece – personal style, design options, choice of gems, metals, timeline and the budget. Together, we will brainstorm ideas to figure out exactly what you want me to make for you. If you have ideas already, please bring/send them, along with any images you might have. I will guide you through each step of creating a piece of custom jewellery. Consultations can be done either in person or via e-mail and phone, for long-distance clients.

Step 2 – Choosing from Three Ideas

Based on our discussions I will present 3 options in graphite sketches as a starting point. Ones agreed on final design, timeline and price, the deposit of 50% will be collected, which includes non-refundable consultation/design fee for all custom orders. The remaining balance will be charged upon completion of the piece and approval from the client.

Step 3 – Refine & Finalize

Based on your feedback, the final design will be presented for your approval before going into production. This includes: detailed multiple-view, technical drawing with exact details and measurements, and color rendering of the design may be provided if necessary.

Process 4th Stage

Step 4 – Production of Your Design

Once your final design was approved by you, the production will take between 2 to 8 weeks, depending on technical complexity of the piece and workload of the jeweller.

Process 5th Stage

Step 5 – Delivery

Once your jewellery piece is ready to be delivered, I will inform you via phone or email with the picture attached. You will receive your custom-made jewellery with the box or pouch. The full payment will be due on delivery. For long-distance clients – once the full payment was made (that includes shipment fees), the jewellery piece will be sent to you via the Post Office or any other agreed delivery company. Time and price of delivery fees will vary depending on shipping company arrangement chosen, which can take between 5 working days to 4 weeks.


Redesign/Remount

One of the things I enjoy is helping people redesign their gems or family treasure into a brand new piece of jewellery. Bring in whatever it is you want to use. Grandmother’s worn out ring, mother’s outdated ruby earrings, grandparent’s wedding band, or just a collection of your own unused jewellery that’s collecting dust somewhere. Whatever it is, I can sit down with you and design a piece that will be beautiful, durable, and will satisfy all your needs.
