| Custom Work
I use the lost wax method in creating my jewelry.
It would be my pleasure to design and create a custom piece for you. My custom work is based on an hourly rate. After 30 years in business I know how much time will be devoted to your piece and I guarantee my quote will be fair and accurate. Any additional costs arise from design changes, gemstone selection and gold or silver content.
The lost wax process allows you to see the design in wax. You can make changes to the piece before it's finished unlike jewelry that is fabricated. The best part of all is that you can have out-dated, broken and unused jewelry remade into a new desirable piece.
Sample Pricing:
When selecting one of my production pieces, without changes to the wax and with enough metal needed to make the piece, the price is $195.00. This is for a finished ready to wear item. There are extra charges for brooch or earring designs.
Changes to the design will be charged at the hourly rate of $50.00 per hour.
Stone setting is extra and based on the size and method used to set the gem or gems. Quotes are given before the work begins so you can determine what fits your budget.
One Of a Kind Designs:
Priced at the hourly design rate of $75.00 per hour, plus metal, gems, and setting cost.
I work with 14k gold in yellow, white, pink & green, as well as with sterling silver.
I currently do not accept rework of sterling silver you may have, as it is not a savings to you.
I have access to any gem stone you might need for your special piece. Let me give you a quote before you make a purchase elsewhere.
