How the Custom Jewelry process works...
Quality, Transparency, & Collaboration
Collaborating on a custom jewelry project is an experience for both of us: whether its an alternative or traditional engagement ring or wedding band, reimagining your precious heirloom jewelry, or starting from scratch to create a piece that no one else has.
I use refined precious metals as well as known-origin gemstones. Have fine jewelry you don't wear? You may trade in the precious metal from old jewelry as credit to be used towards your project. I can inspect your stones to see if they can be used in your custom jewelry piece. I keep you informed of every step in the process. I invite you to be a part of the creative process, from concept to creation.
A few things to keep in mind: first, high karat gold and platinum full custom jewelry projects start at $2000/piece, and semi-custom $1000/piece. Next, the timeline for custom jewelry is minimum of 6-8 weeks. Lastly, from metal distributors to stone setters, I partner with the best in the business to ensure your custom jewelry is absolutely perfect.

#1
Consultation
Share your vision with me! Fill out my inquiry form below or located at the contact tab. Once submitted, I'll reach out to you within 1-2 business days to schedule your complimentary consultation via phone, Zoom, or in person at my store in Old Town Lafayette, CO.
#2
Design
If you decide to work with me, I charge a non-refundable design deposit of $500 that includes 3 design directions, either sketches or computer-generated renderings. Once a design is selected, an estimate will be given for the project.
#3
Creation
Once you approve the estimate and the design, I put the project into production. I require a non-refundable 50% deposit to get started. A to-scale CAD rendering will be sent to you for review, and this is where you can make any changes. Once the CAD design is approved, a wax model will be 3d printed and cast. For an additional charge, I can have a resin sample 3D-printed for you if that is easier for you to visualize.
#4
Delivery
Once your project is complete, you pay the final balance (less any gold credit) and you may pick up in person at my store, Silver Peak Jewelry Arts, In Lafayette, CO, or it will be shipped FedEx or UPS overnight with insurance, signature required.
