You are also welcome to drop by our East Village storefront to chat with with us about your ideas.
Custom Process
The first step is to contact us and schedule an appointment to meet with Lori. There is no cost for the initial consultation.
For your appointment, is it helpful to bring along any inspirational photos, materials, or stones you are hoping to work with. Lori will create sketches to visualize your design and provide an approximate quote and timeline for your custom order.
While there is no minimum price, custom work typically starts at $500. We ask for a 50% deposit upfront to begin work on your design.
Custom projects usually take 4-8 weeks to complete, once we have received your deposit. Design changes, stone sourcing, and hand engraving can take a bit longer. Rush orders are available at an additional cost.
