Custom Info/FAQ

Simple Customizations: Based on current or past designs, with mix-and-match elements (e.g., different bezels, bands, leaves, or droplets).
Customization Examples:
- Milgrain on certain settings
- Adding accent gems to solitaire designs
- Incorporating leaves or other elements into an existing design
- Changing setting styles (e.g., prong to bezel)
Bespoke Designs: *as of 03/06/25, I am not accepting fully bespoke designs (I am still accepting customizations or hybrids of my existing designs or based on past custom pieces)*
References (e.g., vintage styles, preferred stone colors) are encouraged. I do not replicate other living artist’s/designer's work. Vintage examples should be for inspiration only.
Exclusions: I do not replicate designs from other jewelry artists.

Custom Orders: 12–16 weeks (subject to casting/stone-setting delays)
Rush Orders: Contact me to discuss feasibility and pricing; ready-to-ship pieces are available for faster options.
Response Time: Custom inquiry responses may take up to 5 business days.

Metals Available: Solid 14K gold or higher (yellow, rose, white), 18K, 22K, 24K gold, and platinum.
Gemstones Used: Diamonds (natural/lab-grown), sapphires (natural/lab-grown), moissanite, and lab-grown rubies, emeralds, and alexandrites.
Exclusions: I do not use soft stones like opals, turquoise, or moonstone for daily-wear or engagement pieces. I do not work with low quality gemstones (i.e. mystic topaz).
White Gold: I use nickel-free palladium white gold (14K/18K), which is stronger and hypoallergenic. Palladium is in the platinum family so it is priced higher than yellow or rose gold. Platinum pricing is available upon request.

- Diamond Recutting: Available for small chips/abrasions (additional cost; adds 3–4 weeks to production time). Timing and pricing must be approved by and paid for by you before proceeding with this service.

- If removing diamonds from heirloom pieces, gold can be returned or credited based on fair market value.

I can create pieces incorporating ashes.
Recommendation: please wait at least 3–12 months after a loss before contacting me about a memorial piece. The initial grief process should not be rushed.
Process: I handle materials with care and will communicate with you throughout the process.
