Your Custom Design Journey
INITIAL CONSULTATION
We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your ideas, inspiration, stone preferences, budget, and timeline. You may share photos, sketches, or simply a feeling you want the piece to evoke.
We work with clients remotely, please contact us via email: info@emiconner.com or contact form below to share your ideas, budget, and timeline.
Once we have a mutually agreed upon custom design, we will provide you with an estimate that is valid for 30 days from the date of the quote. After the 30-day time period, the estimate is subject to change.
DESIGN, CAD RENDERING AND RESIN MODEL
Once we finalize the concept, we create a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) rendering or hand sketch of your jewelry. This digital model allows you to visualize the piece before production.
- You will receive detailed renderings for approval.
One complimentary design revision is included (additional revisions may incur fees). - Any major design changes after approval may require a new design fee.
- Resin Model (Optional) For certain designs, a resin model can be created upon request before casting the final piece. This step allows you to see the scale and proportions in person before the final production.
PRODUCTION & CRAFTING
Once the design is approved, our expert jewelers begin handcrafting your piece. This process includes:
- Metal casting and stone setting.
- Hand-finishing and polishing.
- Quality inspection to ensure perfection.
FINAL REVIEW & DELIVERY
Once completed, we will share final photos or videos of your piece before shipment. Your jewelry will be carefully packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance.
- Final payment is required before shipping.
- Custom design jewelry includes a warranty for craftsmanship, learn more.
