Our talented team works with you one-on-one to fine tune your design!


In addition to providing further consultation and/or sketches, we search through our stock and reach out to suppliers to curate a selection of stones.


Once your design and stones are chosen, we ask for a deposit equal to 50% of your project total (minus the Retainer fee).

Large and/or specialty stones may require an additional deposit.

The wax model allows you to see your design in 3D before casting!

We allow for one minor adjustment and reprint at no additional cost. Once the model is approved production begins.


Major adjustments or additional wax models: $200 to $800 + tax each (depending on design complexity).
