If we are using your metal, gemstones or diamonds, please bring all items.  If you have any lab reports on your diamonds & gemstones, those are great to have as well!

Otherwise, just be ready to have fun.

Most Custom Designs take 4 weeks.  However, we have worked on tight deadlines in the past!

Design Rendering and refinements typically take 1 to 1.5 weeks.

Casting, polishing, and stone setting typically takes 2 weeks.
We always advise our client to allow for extra steps like contract signing, payment, and quality control.  We make every effort to work within your stated deadline.

Absolutely!  That’s our favorite.

Most heirloom diamonds & gemstones (loose or mounted) can be used in a new design.  We can also restyle your heirloom jewelry by simply changing its function or shape.

Sometimes, we can utilize your existing metal in the new design.  Bring any metal you have, and we can advise on how best to incorporate it.

Yes!  Our new custom designs include a Computer Aided Design (CAD) rendering of your item, as well as a 3D printed resin try-on prototype.

We want you to feel confident in your design choice.  All designs include the opportunity to refine your design before production.

We provide a complimentary lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.

This warranty covers manufacturer defects for the lifetime of your piece, which includes concerns such as casting errors.  All rings include one free resizing, within (1) whole finger size, within 60 days of receiving your item.

For concerns due to wear and tear, common to any jewelry item, we are happy to provide a quote on repair.  We also offer a comprehensive JM Lifetime Care Plan available to purchase, which covers common repair needs.

Custom jewelry designs can vary based on the metal, complexity, time needed, and stones used.

Most simple gold designs begin at $1500.  Most simple platinum designs begin at $2000.  Sterling silver items begin at $750.

We work with a variety of budgets, and love coming up with creative ways to make your vision financially possible.

We work with a variety of budgets!  The benefit of working with a private jeweler is receiving utmost attention, without being pushed beyond your financial limit.

We always tell our clients that we can design for the exact specifications you want, or scale your design to comfortably fit into a budget.  Many times, those two can coexist!  We pride ourselves in finding creative solutions to achieve our clients’ design visions within the financial needs.

Every step of the way, from Design Appointment to delivery, we will communicate about estimates, pricing, and final quote.

Our payment schedule typically happens in three steps:

1. Design Fee:  This design retainer of $300 is collected after we discuss your project.  The Design Fee covers our time to sketch or otherwise computer render your design, and also includes (3) refinements.

2. Production Deposit:  Once we perfect your design, we require 50% of the final quoted price to begin making your piece.

3. Final Payment:  The balance of your project is due upon delivery.  We also offer financing options.

We source all jewelry items, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, watches, and rings.  Contact us to set up a Concierge Appointment.

We work a little differently than most jewelry stores.  Instead of cases and cases of inventory, we prefer to take a more targeted approach to finding your perfect piece.  Fill out the Concierge Shopping form on our Concierge page, and we will call in a selection of pieces from our global network that fit your criteria.  We promise, we’ll find just the right piece at the right price.

We do produce limited numbers of our original signature jewelry designs, available for order or viewing in store.

We currently do not buy preowned jewelry.
