From idea to specification
You can come with a sketch, inspiration image, existing jewelry, or just a description. The goal in the first stage is to define measurements, metal, stones, and daily usage.
Questions like "Is this a ring for working with your hands?" affect the thickness and material choice.
Design and model
After defining the specification, a digital model is built. A prototype can be printed for checking before investing in metal. This is the cheapest stage to make changes.
After model approval, we proceed to casting.

- Finishing and setting
Finishing
Finishing includes cleaning, polishing, texture, stone setting, and plating as needed. This is the stage that gives the jewelry its final character, and it requires manual work.
The level of finish affects the time and cost, and is therefore determined in advance.
Decisions to make early
Ring size, chain length, clasp type, and stone placement are details that are easy to change on screen and difficult to change in metal. The earlier decisions are made, the faster and more predictable the process is.
Choosing the metal also affects the design: 18K gold is softer than 14K, and silver requires slightly greater thickness for the same durability. We will be happy to explain the implications before you decide.

Existing jewellery as inspiration
Sometimes the customer arrives with a grandmother's jewellery, a broken ring, or a photo from a website. You can use them as a starting point and build a new item inspired by them, while changing sizes or details.
We do not copy protected brand designs; the goal is to build an item that suits you.
How the proposal is built
The proposal separates design, production labor, finishing, and metal cost. Metal is calculated by weight and market price at the time of order. A final proposal is given only after understanding the specification.
You can also use your old gold as part of the process — ask us how it works in your case.
