  1. In-Depth Consultation - Meet face-to-face with our jewelry consultants to intimately discuss your vision including desired gems, metals and styling details.

Our team will query you with thoughtful questions to aid conceptualization and suggest gorgeous, creative options personalized to your unique taste.
  2. Collaborative Sketching & 3D Modeling - Work closely alongside our experienced design team as we transform abstract wishes into tangible sketches and photorealistic 3D computer models. We'll continuously refine the renderings until absolute satisfaction with the custom piece visualized.
  3. Casting & Wax Modeling - Next, an intricate wax model is shaped by hand based on approved designs. Using chosen metals, we expertly fabricate a high-quality casting of the jewelry to confirm perfect, comfortable form and fit.
