Custom Process
Meet and Discuss
The first step in this customized approach is to meet together and discuss what you'd like. It can be anything from designing and creating a new and unique piece of jewelry, or bringing your heirloom pieces back to spectacular new life.
Review Options
We'll look at a range of options and possibilities that best reflect both your budget and personal aesthetics. Together we'll examine a variety of stones, settings and styles from which to make your choice. This is a collaborative effort. I listen carefully to your ideas and desires so we can create the perfect expression of your vision.
Make Selection
Once you're pleased and completely satisfied with your selection, a CAD drawing will be made. This is a three dimensional color image that provides an accurate idea of what your piece will look like when it's completed.
Prepare CAD Drawing
We'll review the CAD drawing and modifications can be made if required. Then all that remains is your approval and the piece goes into the production cycle that can take from 2 to 6 weeks.
Create
With the approved CAD drawing as the blueprint, your piece is cast in the metal you selected and your stones are set by hand. Production typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, and I stay in touch with you throughout.
Deliver
When your piece is completed, I'll examine it thoroughly to make sure it's absolutely perfect and then send it to you. For clients outside the Boston area, I coordinate delivery of the finished piece directly to you.
Heirloom & Estate Redesign
A drawer full of inherited jewelry you never wear can become a piece you love. I work with heirloom and estate pieces regularly: evaluating the existing stones and metal, then resetting them into a new design that suits your style. One client brought in her grandmother's diamonds and had them reset; her words on the testimonials page: "My grandmother's diamonds have never looked this good!"
The process is the same as any custom project. We meet privately, review what you have, discuss what you'd like it to become, and confirm the design with a CAD drawing before any work begins on the original piece.
The Final Results
Finished pieces range from engagement rings and wedding bands to pendants, earrings, and reimagined estate settings. See client photos and stories on the testimonials page and recent work on Instagram.
