Frequently Asked Questions

  • Please reach out through my contact form above and I’ll send you a link to schedule a video call - we’ll talk through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

    I can usually provide a price range estimate during our initial complimentary consultation, and will follow up with a final quote upon design approval.

    There’s no pressure if you feel we’re not a fit, I’m so happy to connect you with one of my fellow jeweler friends if that’s the case so don’t hesitate to reach out :)

  • Depending on your inspiration I’ll guide you in one of two directions.

    HAND FABRICATION - if you want something truly one-of-a-kind, hand fabrication is a great way to create something that truly shows the touch of the artists hand. I work with raw materials like sheet metal and wire that I’ll forge into your design. I’ll share a drawing and get your approval before proceeding with fabrication.

    CAD DESIGN - If you’re looking for a design with absolute precision or something I can’t do by hand, I’ll work with a CAD designer to create a digital 3D rendering, which I’ll then have casted here with a partner in NYC and I will do the work of polishing, setting stones, and finishing your piece. You will receive a rendering for approval before moving forward casting.

  • PRICING

    Every piece of jewelry is unique so price will vary widely based on what materials and gemstones you’d like to use. I will guide you based on your budget.

    A simple Silver piece can start at $200+ and solid Gold at $1,000+. Please note that these are my price minimums.

    DESIGN FEES

    FOR HANDCRAFTED PIECES - a non-refundable $50 design fee is required for my time. You’ll receive a drawing for approval before I begin fabrication if your inspiration images aren’t perfectly strait-forward. I will waive this fee if you don’t need to approve the design beforehand.

    FOR CAD DESIGNS - a non-refundable $400 design fee is required to get started. Up to 3 minor adjustments included, and additional $60 fee will apply beyond that or for extreme changes.

    These design fees can be waived if I’m able to find a stock mounting from one of my suppliers. I will guide you in this direction for a lower budget and if your design is something I can easily find instead of having to create it from scratch.

    UPON DESIGN APPROVAL you will receive a contract and a 50% deposit on the full cost of your piece will be required for me to begin production. The remaining 50% balance will be due upon completion/delivery.

  • Turnaround time is currently 6-8 weeks. Please reach out if you have a sooner deadline, a $150 rush fee may apply.

  • Of course! I will ship your jewelry with tracking and insurance.

    Price varies depending on your location.

  • I will only design something I believe will have structural integrity that will last you for years to come.

    I offer complimentary repairs for fabrication defects, and repairs at a cost for wear and tear.

  • Please reach out for a complimentary ring sizer.

    I will provide one complimentary resize within one size up or down. Anything ±1 size will incur a cost.

  • COMING SOON! I am working on finding a studio space to be able to provide the same lessons for scrappy beginners that I was able to teach in Seattle the last few years.

    Please join my email list to be notified of when that will happen!
