Client's often purchase stones from the store or have ones that they own and want set in a custom designed piece. As well as the redesign of old jewelry pieces.
We discuss what they want and the style. Sometimes they have pictures, drawings or specific ideas. Other times, I am asked to design the piece based on the client's, work environment, interests and social activity.
I try to give the client a general quote. From a low to a high.
If the client agrees to the estimated quote, the Jewelry Process can begin.
The whole process, from design to completion, can take as little as two weeks to a month, depending upon feedback and decisions by the clients.
1. First I do drawings, which are Emailed to the client if they cannot come into the shop.
2. If they approve the drawing, a deposit is asked of the client, to continue work on the piece.
3. Then I work up a wax. I Email a picture of the wax to the client, often with the stones inset into the wax. If changes need to be made, they are. I then ask for approval of wax from the client. When the wax is complete, through a formula method, I can give the client an exact price of what the completed piece will cost at that time.
4. With approval of final cost, the piece is cast in gold, platinum, or silver as required. The piece is then finished. The client receives Emailed pictures of finished piece or comes into view, pay and pick up.
5. If client needs item to be shipped, I ship in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia.
