How it works
Most commissions are engagement rings and wedding bands; many are redesigns — a grandmother's cluster ring becoming three stacking bands for three sisters, a broken chain recast as a signet. Some are simply a piece you've imagined and never found.
- The conversation. An hour at the atelier (or by phone if you're not in Los Angeles). Bring photographs, heirlooms, vague ideas — vague is fine. No deposit, no obligation.
- The sketch. Within two weeks you'll receive drawings, a stone selection if needed, and a firm quote. Two rounds of revisions are included.
- The making. A 50% deposit books your place at the bench. Most pieces take eight to ten weeks; engagement rings can be prioritized — tell us the date.
- The delivery. Collection at the atelier with a glass of something cold, or fully insured shipping anywhere in the U.S.
Working with heirlooms
Family gold can almost always be melted and reused; family stones can almost always be reset. We'll tell you honestly when they can't — some older stones are too soft or too worn for daily wear, and there's usually a way to honor them anyway (a pendant kept for occasions, a stone set into the inside of a band).
We take on around six commissions per season so that bespoke work never waits behind production. The current list opens on the first of each quarter — if we're full, we'll offer the next opening rather than rushing yours.
Starting points
| Commission type | Typically from |
|---|---|
| Wedding bands (per band, solid 14k) | $480 |
| Engagement ring, client's stone | $1,400 |
| Engagement ring, stone sourced by us | $2,800 |

Final pricing depends on metal weight, stones and complexity — the quote you approve at the sketch stage is the price you pay.
