CUSTOM FAQS
Thinking about a custom piece? Here’s what to know.
I receive a high volume of custom requests, and while I’m thrilled to bring your ideas to life, I’m getting a bit too busy to answer every frequently asked question. I’ve put together this guide to answer the most common questions and get us straight to the fun part – designing!
What do you make?
You can explore my portfolio and shop to see the range of designs I work with. I create pieces in Argentium silver, yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as platinum. I can also source and set precious and semi-precious gemstones.
How much will it cost?
Pricing depends heavily on the design. Here’s a rough guide with examples:
- Simple silver rings start around $700, think simple text engravings or icons.
- More complex silver rings with moderate engraving are around $1200; this’d include engravings with lots of stylised text, or illustrations.
- Complex silver rings with intricate engraving are around $1850, think family crest designs, detailed illustrations, large engraving volumes.
If you’re after something in gold, add about $1100 roughly. This’ll depend on what sort of gold (colour, carat) you want, and how much we need. For platinum add about $1000. Don’t stress if you don’t know much about precious metals, happy to discuss with you. Also keep in mind that with the more expensive precious metals, the size and thickness of the piece can make a big difference in price.
Anything with gemstones will vary wildly. If you’re wanting a big beautiful diamond set in the piece, it’s going to cost a lot more.

How long does it take?
Typically, it’s about 3-4 weeks if everything flows smoothly. Extensive design changes may extend the process to around 2 months.
Can I pay in installments?
Absolutely, and this is actually the default. Payment is usually 50% upfront and 50% upon completion, but I’m flexible if you need alternative arrangements.
Can I request design changes after seeing initial drafts?
Yes! I offer essentially unlimited revisions, working with the expectation that we’ll make adjustments until the design is just right.
Do you offer a warranty?
Every piece comes with a 99-year comprehensive warranty, covering unlimited free restorations with no limitations—your jewellery is made to last.
What if I don’t know my ring size?
No worries! I can express post a free ring sizer to you, which should arrive by the next business day.
