CAD
Computer. Animated. Design..... We work with some of the most talented artists in the entire country. Our team will take what might originally be a drawing on a napkin and turn it into a full fledged 3D computer design.
Wax printing
Once your CAD has been created, we 3D print your project into wax. Sometimes our custom pieces have up to 100 tiny little pieces!
Casting
Turning wax into gold.... During the casting process our experienced casters will turn your wax models into actual gold. Things are starting to get real here.
Setting/ Assembly
During this stage our experienced jewelers bench assembles all of the gold pieces together to create your your custom ring, pendant, necklace, bracelet, etc. If your piece includes diamonds, they are then expertly set in a variety of different settings by hand.

To get a project started there are a few questions we will need you to answer that will help us get things moving.
Design Idea
Every custom piece starts with your idea. The more detail you can give us the better. A photo of something similar you have seen, a drawing, or at the very least a verbal description are vital in our ability to turning your thoughts into gold.
Timeline
Generally our pieces can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks depending on the complexity of the piece and our availability. If you have a timeline such as a wedding or birthday that you need your piece in time for, please let us know AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!
Budget
The touchiest.... and most important question.
In custom work it is vital for us to understand what kind of runway you have for your specific project. Letting us know what you are comfortable in spending from the start gives us the ability to get you the highest quality piece for the least amount of money and effort.
