BESPOKE
A detailed description of the process
Some of my pieces are made in Hong Kong and in Thailand, others in Rajasthan, India. A large part of the setting work is carried out in Canberra.
​
My process with regards to custom pieces is simple and outlined in detail here;
​
I first spend time getting an in depth idea of what you are after.​ I work backwards from your budget, without a solid figure to work with there are far too many variables.
​
I charge 290$ AUD per gram of 14k gold (white, yellow or rose), inclusive of 10% GST for 1 -2 stone set rings, & 315$ AUD for 3 or more stones set . So a signet or Toi-et-moi is at 290$ AUD / gram, but a halo or trilogy is 315$ AUD / gram.
This is basically to factor in setting costs.
All gemstones are priced differently, depending on cut, carat and clarity.
​
Once we are clear on the vision, the gemstones and the budget, I request 100% payment towards the estimation. There may be a slight addition or subtraction to this based on the final gold weight- however this is discussed prior to commencement.
​
I then reach out to my vendors and hunt down the perfect gemstone options, which you finalise.​ We make a 3D drawing before making the piece, and so changes in the design can be made up until this point.
​
Please note, you are charged gold weight, based on the actual casting weight.
So if the CAD (computer drawing) shows 3 grams of gold; you are charged for 3 grams of gold;
this is what I pay the casting forge.
However after this, there will be a 5%-15% gram LOSS of gold depending on how heavy the piece is; when claws are cut and shaped in setting, bezels are filed down, the ring is polished or texturised etc.
​
Once the piece is ready, I will send you final images and videos.
​​
After the piece arrives with me, I take additional photos and videos and ship it to you.
Shipping details are in my T&C's
​
With sourcing loose gemstones, I require a 50% NON REFUNDABLE deposit to begin looking.
​
It's THAT simple!
It’s important for me to mention that any additional payment for the finished piece is expected within 5 business days of completion. If there is a delay without prior discussion there will be a 10% fee on the invoice. If the invoice is not paid within 14 days, and there has been no communication, I reserve the right to list the piece up for sale to recover my costs.​
