FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Custom jewellery costs vary depending on a variety of factors. The intricacy of your desired design, the type of metals and gemstones selected, and the required level of detail and craftsmanship all influence the final price. However, after our initial consultation, we’ll provide you with a quote that considers all these details.
While many assume custom jewellery costs more than ready-made pieces, this isn’t necessarily true. When you opt for a bespoke product, you have the freedom to select materials and designs that fit within your budget. The jeweller may also have specific gemstones or metals on hand, which can make it less costly to design a custom piece than to purchase a pre-crafted, finished item. In many cases, this means you can create a customized piece that is both distinctive and affordable.
Depending on the complexity of your envisioned design and the materials chosen, creating custom jewellery can take a few weeks to several months. Our thoughtful design process ensures we spend the necessary time to create a piece that truly reflects your vision and is a testament to our exceptional craftsmanship.
While we relish the personal connection and understanding that comes from in-store consultations, we completely understand that sometimes, it just isn’t feasible for Canadians who live out of province or life is simply just too busy. If it is impossible to visit us in person at either of our Guelph, Oakville or Toronto locations, we can offer a virtual consultation process. However, be mindful that finalizing your jewellery’s look is just as important as ensuring you will enjoy wearing it. Unfortunately, comfort and fit can only be affirmed in person.
Yes, a deposit is required. After working through the design process, we provide an upfront, no-obligation quote outlining the costs of crafting your unique piece. Upon acceptance of this quote, we require a deposit to initiate your project. This initial payment secures your commitment and enables us to invest in the high-quality materials necessary to complete your bespoke jewellery design.
Absolutely! Your selected diamond comes with its very own certification. We take pride in offering diamonds certified by the American Gem Society (AGS) and the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), which have now merged. These certifications not only underscore the quality and authenticity of your diamond but also provide a detailed account of its unique characteristics. As well, from time to time other laboratory certificates may be provided.
