Frequently Asked Questions
Heirloom Redesign & Custom Design
What is the process for heirloom jewelry redesign?
Our redesign process involves four simple steps. First, we initiate a consultation where we discuss your desired design style and budget. Next, our expert team creates hand-drawn renderings of the proposed designs for your approval. Once the design is confirmed, we move on to step three, which is the production phase of your new piece. Finally, we deliver your exquisite new heirloom to you.
What is your turnaround time for heirloom redesign & custom designs?
Once your design is approved, the production process typically takes around 10 business days. After completion, your piece can be shipped immediately.
How can I ensure that we have the same vision for the design?
Communication is key. During the consultation, we carefully listen to your preferences and ideas to ensure that we share the same vision for your design. The hand-drawn renderings provided for your approval act as a visual representation of the design before it moves into production.
Is it okay if I am unsure of what I want for my custom piece?
Absolutely! It's completely normal to be unsure of the direction for your custom jewelry. Our team specializes in helping you discover the perfect design that complements your lifestyle and personal style. We'll guide you through the process with expertise and creativity.
Can you redesign multiple heirloom pieces into one unified design?
Certainly! If you have several heirloom jewelry pieces, we can combine them into a harmonious and elegant custom design that holds the essence of each piece, creating a stunning and meaningful new jewelry item.
How much will my project cost?
Each project is unique, and the cost is based on the materials and labor involved. Redesign projects start at $750, while custom engagement rings typically begin around $3000.
Are there any design limitations for heirloom jewelry redesign or custom jewelry?
While we strive to fulfill your creative vision, certain design limitations may arise due to technical factors or the integrity of the materials involved. Rest assured, our designers will communicate openly about any constraints and propose alternatives to achieve the best possible outcome.
Is there a warranty or guarantee for custom jewelry designs?
Absolutely! We take pride in our craftsmanship and stand behind the quality of our work. Your custom jewelry piece will come with a warranty, covering any potential manufacturing defects.
What happens to my unused gold and stones from the original piece?
We are more than happy to return any unused materials to you or provide a credit toward your final purchase.
Can I return my custom piece if I am not satisfied with it?
Before your custom piece reaches the production phase (which requires a 50% payment), you will have the opportunity to review and approve the hand-drawn rendering. We hope you will be delighted with the design at this stage. However, in the unlikely event that any issues arise with your finished piece, please reach out to our team, and we will do our best to resolve the matter.
