The Process

Handcrafted,
from first sketch
to final polish.

Every Signature commission is built the same way — slowly, deliberately, and in constant conversation with you. This is what to expect when you commission a custom piece or grillz set.

Consult

It starts with a conversation. Call, text, WhatsApp, or book a discovery session — whichever feels easiest. No commitment required.

  • Share reference images, sketches, or just describe the idea
  • Discuss metal (sterling, gold), stones, engraving, and size
  • Honest budget and timeline conversation up front
  • Walk away with a written quote — no pressure to proceed
02 1–2 Weeks

Design

Your vision gets translated — first by hand, then in 3D. You see the piece before a single gram of silver is melted.

  • Hand-sketched concepts sent for direction review
  • Photorealistic 3D CAD render once the direction is locked
  • Revisions at every stage — we move when you're ready
  • Grillz: design is included. Custom jewelry: $50–$100 design fee, credited toward your final price
03 Same Day

Approve

Once the render is right, you sign off and a 50% deposit secures your production slot on the bench.

  • Written sign-off on the final design and specs
  • 50% deposit — locks your spot, starts production
  • Remaining 50% due before shipping, with a 30-day balance window
  • Simple written contract covers both of us
04 2–4 Weeks

Craft & Ship

This is where the real work happens. Every piece is made by hand, at one bench, by one maker.

  • Wax printing, investment casting, and hand finishing
  • Stone setting, polishing, and final quality check
  • Progress photos sent along the way
  • Insured, tracked shipping nationwide — signature required

Questions

Answered before you ask.

Do I pay anything before I see the design?

For custom jewelry, a $50–$100 design fee covers the sketches and 3D render — and it's credited toward your final price if you move forward. Grillz have no separate design fee. The 50% production deposit only comes after you've approved the final design.

What if I want changes along the way?

Revisions happen at the sketch stage and the 3D render stage. Once production begins, the design is locked — but up to that point, we iterate until it's right.

Is the deposit refundable?

The deposit is refundable if you cancel before the design is approved. Once production begins — materials ordered, casting started — the deposit is nonrefundable. Full details are in the client contract.

Do you ship outside California?

Yes — nationwide shipping is standard. Every package is fully insured, tracked, and requires a signature on delivery. International shipping available on request.

Can I see the piece being made?

Absolutely. Progress photos are sent at every major stage — after casting, after setting, after final polish. Many clients say it's the best part of the process.

What if I need it faster than 3–6 weeks?

Rush production is possible for a 25% fee, typically completing in 2 weeks depending on complexity. Reach out first — some designs can be rushed, others truly can't.

Ready when you are.

The first step is a conversation. Pick the channel that works for you — no forms, no funnels.
