The Process

Tell Us About You

Please share a bit about yourself and the vision behind your piece. Once the form is submitted, a confirmation will be sent within one week regarding your place on the custom waitlist.

Consultations are currently booking approximately 1–2 months in advance, depending on waitlist volume.

Any questions are always welcome. The studio is happy to walk through the design process, clarify details, and offer guidance at any stage.

Select Your Stone(s)

During the initial consultation, design preferences, metal options, and gemstone choices will be explored.

After an initial direction and early sketches are developed, gemstone selection becomes the priority to ensure the overall design is shaped around the stone.

The studio regularly works with lab-grown diamonds, moissanites and sapphires in soft greens, blues, and pinks. We love sourcing natural diamonds, rubies, and other unique gems.

To bring gemstones in for viewing, a stone deposit is required. This deposit is 50 percent of the cost of the least expensive stone being considered and is applied in full toward the final gemstone selected.

Design & Model

Based on the information you provide and the concept we develop together, i’ll begin creating sketches and orientations for your piece.

The design phase includes several stages of refinement so every curve, contour, and detail feels intentional. Once you’re fully confident in the direction, will prepare a 3d rendering and/or a wax model to give you a clear, hyper-realistic preview of your ring before production begins.

Production

Once the final design is approved, production begins and the piece is handcrafted with attention to detail, ensuring the design, stone, and finish come together seamlessly.

The complete bespoke process typically requires 6-8 weeks, depending on design complexity and current production timelines.
