Frequently Asked Questions
Cost & Payments
Why do you ask for my budget?
We're not here to drain your wallet. That's why it's important for us to have a general idea of how much you can spend on your custom project. Your budget allows us to create accurate draft designs that fit within your budget. The last thing we want is to send you draft designs with quotes that are way above your budget.
Ultimately, sharing your budget with us ensures we're both on the same page—it acts as guidelines to ensure the designs we suggest are ones you'll love without exceeding your financial needs.
How does payment work?
After our initial consult, we take a $300 non-refundable deposit to begin the custom process. This deposit is credited towards your final cost.
Once you've selected your center stone, we take a 50% deposit for most gemstones and lab-diamonds and a 100% deposit for natural diamonds.
After you've approved your wax replica, before we start production, a 50% deposit is placed for your setting.
Once your piece is done, the remaining balance is due.
We're always happy to set up a payment plan just let us know your preferred terms.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we do! Let us know your ideal plan and we will schedule it. Please note that we do not start production on any custom jewelry until 50% of the total cost has been met.
What is your minimum?
Our minimum for custom engagement rings is $3000. For all other projects, our customs minimum is $1000. Sometimes there are exceptions to this. Custom work is much more labor-intensive than non-custom pieces so you can expect the price to reflect this.
What will my jewelry cost?
After our initial consultation, if requested, we will provide you a rough quote for your design. Prices start at $3000 for engagement rings and $1000 for other jewelry.
The average custom engagement ring is $4,000-$8,000, and a custom wedding band is $2,000.
Providing your own stones? The same minimums still apply. In addition, to cover the insurance for your stone(s) we charge $100/ct for using your own lab diamonds, melee, and semi-precious stones and $200/ct+ for natural precious stones. A ring setting in 14k gold typically starts at $2500, a necklace $800, and earrings $1000.
Why is there a price difference between customs and regular pieces?
Customs require a lot more back-end labor. We have our initial consult and continual communication. If we're sourcing stones for you, we'll likely find a few options for you and continue sourcing until you love your stone(s). If you're unsure of the design you'd like we'll sketch out ideas for you to visualize. Once you've narrowed down your design, if a CAD rendering is required, we'll build it for you and print out wax replica out so you can see your exact piece
Custom jewelry allows you to create something special and unique to you, but that takes time and effort that we think is totally worth it.
Materials & Stones
Can you source a specific stone?
Yes! We have a long list of suppliers and can likely source what you're looking for.
For large diamonds and colored stones, we often source multiple options for you to look at and decide on.
Can I bring my own stone?
Absolutely! We'd love to work with your stones, but we do need to look at them first to make sure they can withstand production.
In addition, we do not take any responsibility for damaged stones while in our possession or during shipping time. No matter how perfect your stone(s) may look, they are still susceptible to breakage during the manufacturing process. There is always a risk of setting stones into new settings so please be aware of this.
What materials do you work with?
We only work with solid gold and platinum for custom projects.
As for stones, we work with anything and everything, from mined to lab grown.
We have high ethical standards for our mined stones and work with a select few vendors who meet our standards.
As for lab diamonds, we maintain our high standards for the stone's quality. We do not accept diamonds from growers rushing the growth process, which often results in poor-quality diamonds. Poor quality lab diamonds may have growth strains or off-coloring. Please note the price of lab diamonds is not stable.
Warranty & Durability
I'm concerned about my ring's durability. Can you help with this?
Durability is our number one priority when it comes to engagement rings, let alone any piece we create. We never take shortcuts in the production process and always adhere to our high production standards. The last thing we want is you worrying about your ring's durability. We'll make sure all the boxes are checked and your ring is secure.
What warranty do you offer?
All custom jewelry comes with free cleanings for (our) life. This includes a bath, prong check, and polishing.
In addition, if any melee stones under 2mm fall out within a year due to manufacturing error, we are happy to replace them for free.
We do not offer insurance, but highly recommend seeking coverage through Jewelers Mutual.

Terms
Custom jewelry is not eligible for return or exchange. During the process, you will have lots of opportunities to change and alter your design until it is perfect. Once you have given your final approval, we will begin production. If you are not happy with the final product, we will work together to come to an acceptable outcome.
The $300 deposit is non-refundable and covers our time working with you if you choose to no longer work with us. Once your design has begun production, it cannot be cancelled.
We reserve the right to re-use the custom design with slight tweaks. Know that your design will never be exactly replicated, but we may use aspects of it in other pieces.
Custom orders are not eligible for any sales or discounts.
