Step 1

The appointment

To make sure we know your wishes we start with an appointment. Preferrably in our atelier. This can also be online, if that works better with your calendar. In this meeting we will explain our proces in more depth and we will be able to give you a rough budget indication of your preferred design. Most asked question: how long does it take before I can pick up my design? It depends how fast you can decide. Once you get the 3d design (a few days after the appointment), if you are happy we can start production and you will have a finished product after 2-3 weeks.

Step 2

The design proces

In this phase we will start with a 3d render based on your wishes discussed in our appointment and we will search for the right stones: sapphires, rubies, emerald, lab grown diamonds, natural diamonds. Everything is possible. We will make your design as realistic as possible in the 3d render.

Step 3

Final call

After receiving the 3d render, options for your stone preference we will have a call about the remaining questions or requests from your side to make sure you have all the information you need.

Step 4

Agreement

Because our proces is custom made, we need you to pay upfront. The payment is your agreement on the design and our 'green light' to move forward. From this moment onwards you can sit back and relax and wait untill we give you a heads up when your item is ready. Usually from the moment you pay the invoice it takes 2-3 weeks for your design to be ready.

Step 5

Magic moments

When your design is ready we will contact you and make an appointment to give that true reveal of the design! Often people are very excited for this moment, and so are we! This is where the magic happens...
