The process

From a sentence to a piece

Six steps, each with a written record. Starting is free; you approve the design before you pay for production; every quote carries its validity and every delivery its insurance. Most pieces complete in 6–8 weeks.

  1. 01

    Share your inspiration

    Send a photograph, a sketch, or simply a description over WhatsApp or the form below. We listen, ask a few questions, and tell you honestly whether the idea works in metal and stone.

    • Free, with no obligation to proceed
    • Your images are used only for the design conversation — see the privacy policy
    • We reply within 24 hours on business days (GMT+8 (Shanghai))

    the sketch stage

  2. 02

    Direction & quote

    We come back with a first design direction and an itemised price range: metal, stones, labour, delivery. Nothing is vague and nothing is hidden.

    • Quotes are valid for 14 days — gold and stone prices move
    • Response within the stated window, in writing
    • You can stop here. The direction is yours to keep.

    the sketch stage

  3. 03

    3D modelling (CAD)

    On a design fee (from $150, credited toward your piece) we build your design in CAD and send renders from every angle.

    • 3 rounds of parameter revisions included — proportion, band width, stone size, finish
    • A structural redesign or a new center stone is quoted separately, before work continues
    • You see exactly what will be made, before anyone touches metal

    the CAD stage

  4. 04

    Metal & stones

    Choose 18k gold (yellow, rose, white) or platinum 950; natural or lab-grown diamonds with 4C data; coloured stones with every treatment disclosed.

    • GIA or IGI reports where applicable — a certificate describes a stone, it is not a valuation
    • Reserved stones are held for you for 7 days while you decide
    • Lab-grown stones are labelled as such, everywhere, always

    the CAD stage

  5. 05

    Crafting

    Production begins only after your written approval of the final CAD confirmation — dimensions, engraving text, stone and metal in black and white.

    • After approval, confirmed details rest with that approval record
    • Handcraft tolerance is typically ±0.2 mm; natural stones vary in colour and inclusions
    • Typical bench time: 6–8 weeks

    the finished piece

  6. 06

    Delivery

    Final inspection, photography for your records, then insured dispatch with signature on delivery. Certificates and care instructions travel with the piece.

    • Insured, signature-required delivery worldwide
    • Import VAT and duties are stated in your quote before you commit; collection depends on the destination and confirmed sales setup
    • Two-year warranty against manufacturing defects
