Custom Design & CAD

How does the custom process work?

Consult → CAD preview → optional 3D wax try-on → your approval → casting. Built for zero surprises.

Can I change the design after I see CAD?

Yes. We revise the CAD until you approve. Changes after casting may incur fees.

What if I’m not happy with the prototype?

We adjust or remake it before casting — you only move forward once you approve the design.

Can I see how my custom jewelry is made?

Yes! We filmed our full custom process — from CAD to casting to polish — right here in our Sandy Springs studio. Watch the behind-the-scenes video here →

How long do custom designs take?

Most projects finish in 1–2 weeks. Complex designs may take 2–4 weeks. Rush service available.
