Thanks so much for inquring with me!  You probably have a lot of questions about bringing your custom idea to life and I am so excited to chat with you! I take this work really seriously and I know how meaningful jewelry can be, especially when we're working with heirloom pieces.   To get started, please know that I am here every step of the way. If you have questions about design ideas, Inspo, timeline, I'm here to help!If you want to create something beautiful & unique with a bit of magic, then I might be a good fit for you!  Getting something custom made is all about communicating visual ideas, and I totally understand that it can be difficult! Together we talk through ideas and look through photos of what you're going for.  Once I get a general idea of what you're looking for I also ask my clients to take a preference quiz at the start of each custom project so I can have a clear idea of the style. Bold or dainty? Rustic or polished? We go through it all together so it turns out just right!  I always send sketches of the design and photos of the process along the way to be sure you love what we are making and there are no surprises!custom jewelry designer, jewelry designer, custom recycled metals and stoneBasic custom projects start at $350.  But the budget is up to you!  Choice of gemstones, metal, complexity of the design, size and number of stones are all factors that we can adjust to stay within your budget ...or go all out!   Since there are a lot of unknowns in a custom project,  I usually quote a ballpark (eg. $800 - $900) and stay within that range.  In 2021, my average custom project was around $700How long do customs take to make? Usually about 3 months start to finish from the date of the deposit  Can we use stones I already have? Absolutely! We can pop stones out of vintage rings and even melt the metal down to use for your project as well  What is an 'ethical' stone?  I work with some incredible fair trade suppliers who care a lot about the entire process from mining to cutting. We can even use a lab grown stones (chemically identical to ones found in nature, but with no mining)   Can you recreate this piece I found on Pinterest?  I can look at a few of your favorites from your inspo photos and create something new that ties into your personal story , but I can't make a copy of an exact piece made by someone else STYLE + INSPO If you like the style of my other jewelry, we will probably be a good fit for each other! Come with photos and examples of what you are looking for - a visual starting point is great for me!  BUDGET + PAYMENT We will talk through your budget together and I will quote you an estimate. When you're ready you will pay a 50% deposit to get started!  DESIGN + COMMUNICATION I'll draw some sketches of what your piece will look like and give you the chance to choose what you like and make changes. After that I make a mold of your piece in wax.    I'll send you photos and updates along the way so you can see the process. Once the final piece is complete I'll send you photos of the finished product and the final invoice.   Then I ship off your piece to you for you to love and cherish forever!

"Amy had the ability to take my (totally awful and napkin-drawn) chicken scratch sketches and turn them into amazing pieces of jewelry.   At every step, she was responsive, understanding, and genuinely interested in helping me create the work that I was imagining. The final piece that was truly stunning. I can not express enough how glad I am I chose Amy."  -Sam F.
