Sometimes, the perfect piece of jewelry exists only within your mind. But, thanks to our extremely talented team of designers and craftsmen, we can bring any vision to life. Our simple, three-step process is a truly incredible experience. Seeing your ideas become a reality can be a really fun and fulfilling way to create the perfect gift or express your personal style. Plus, custom jewelry doesn't always cost more than something you’d find in one of our cases. It all depends on the specifics of your particular idea.
The Design Process

2. Design
Meet with our design team for the initial consultation. There, you can share your ideas and inspiration. Our goal will be to bring your vision to life while also staying within budget. Once we’re on the same page, we’ll work up a detailed sketch of your piece.

3. Transform
After the custom design sketch is approved, we’ll create a 3D rendering using computer-aided design (CAD). This allows you to examine every side, nook and cranny of the piece. Then, we’ll create a physical wax model, so you can try it on.

4. Treasure
After the final approval, we’ll begin casting your piece using the highest quality materials and gemstones. When your jewelry is polished and shined, we’ll invite you back into the store for the big unveiling.
