think of me as your fairy godmother of jewelry design. get ready to accept you can have big rock energy within your budget.
Hi there. I absolutely love to take ideas and make them reality. Finessing designs that fit your lifestyle and aesthetic is my favorite pass time...then add in sourcing the most beautiful sustainable gems (including lab created shockers that will allow you to save the planet while embracing big rock energy within your budget!) and I'm living my dream.
If you desire to collaborate with someone who has been making and designing jewelry for 20 years to create a one of a kind piece that exceeds all your expectations, that would be me. Together we will hone a design, decide on materials and create a sustainable and affordable dream bauble.
The process starts with a design conversation. If it feels like we are on the same page we will move forward with a design downpayment and begin "the process." The process consists of conversation and sketches until we get pretty close to perfection. I will then convert those sketches into a computer aided rendering. This rendering allows you to see the closest 2D model to the finished piece as possible. The fee allows for two tweeks to the design once we convert to the rendering. Once pleased with the 2D model a wax model will be made to try on for size and style. From there, the final piece is cast and the stones are set.
Pricing: I know how hard it is sometimes to reconcile your dreams and your budget. I can educate you on diamond alternatives that will allow you the look and durability without the price, if you so desire (lab grown diamonds or diamond alternatives, lab grown and otherwise). I can also source you wholesale diamonds and other precious gems. We can even explore colored gemstones, no gemstones... No hard rules in this studio! Unlike traditional jewelry stores, my designs are priced at my cost plus my $1,000 design fee. After initial conversation, if we are a fit... $500 deposit towards total $1000 design fee. Once wax design approved, the materials fee will be due (this is different for all designs based on materials and stones used). Upon completion of jewelry piece, remainder of the $500 design fee due before delivery.
That's it! That's how you get hand holding through all the steps and walk away with a heirloom one of a kind dream piece.
