Before you reach out

A few things worth knowing first

What is the investment for a custom piece?

Every commission is different — a bespoke engagement ring with a rare stone is a very different project from a refined anniversary band or a reimagined heirloom. As a guide, most custom commissions begin from $4,000, though the right number depends entirely on your vision, materials, and level of detail. What you will never experience is pressure, hidden costs, or a recommendation that is not genuinely in your best interest. Have a budget in mind? Share it when you reach out — Jonathan will always be honest about what is possible.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before reaching out?

Not at all — and most clients do not. Some arrive with a clear vision. Others come with a feeling, an occasion, or a photograph saved on their phone. All of it is a perfectly fine place to start. Jonathan's first job is to listen — to understand you, the person you are creating this for, and what this piece needs to mean. The direction finds itself from there.

How long does the process take?

Most commissions move from first conversation to finished piece in four to eight weeks. More intricate designs or rare stone sourcing may take a little longer — Jonathan will give you a clear and honest timeline upfront so there are no surprises. If you are working toward a specific date — a proposal, an anniversary, a birthday — mention it when you reach out.

What does the design process look like?

Once Jonathan understands your vision, he creates detailed CAD renderings — precise, three-dimensional representations of your piece — so you can see exactly what it will look like before a single stone is set or a gram of metal is touched. Nothing moves forward until you love what you see. Revisions are welcomed, not rationed.
