Investment & Timeline FAQ

Investment & Timeline

Custom work is a sacred collaboration between your vision and my craft. Because each piece is unique, pricing varies based on materials, complexity, and design depth.

Customized Gemstone Bracelets For simpler, stone-focused pieces (gemstone bracelets, beaded designs, curated stone selections):

  • Investment begins at $200 CAD
  • No design fee required
  • 50% non-refundable deposit to begin work
  • Remaining balance due before shipping
  • Timeline: 2–4 weeks from deposit

Perfect for clients who know the stones they want and are seeking a beautifully crafted, intentional piece without extensive design development.

True Custom Talismans (Rings, Pendants, Necklaces) For fully custom, one-of-a-kind pieces that require design development, sketching, and material sourcing:

Step 1: Design Fee

Design Fee — $500 CAD non-refundable design fee covers:

  • Initial consultation and vision alignment
  • Design development and sketching
  • Material sourcing research (stones, metals, symbols)
  • Up to 2 rounds of design revisions
  • Finalized design approval

This fee honours my time, expertise, and creative labor before any metalwork begins. It ensures we're fully aligned before I invest in materials and studio time.

Step 2: Materials Deposit

Once design is approved, 50% of the quoted piece price is due to cover sourcing gemstones, purchasing metals, and reserving studio time.

This deposit is non-refundable, as materials are sourced specifically for your talisman.

Step 3: Final Payment 

Final Payment — Remaining 50% due before shipping.

Timeline: 6–8 weeks from design approval (sometimes sooner, depending on materials and complexity).

Total Investment Examples:

  • Customized Gemstone Bracelet: $250–$400+
  • Custom Ring (simple): $500 design fee + $400 piece = $900 total
  • Custom Talisman Pendant (complex): $500 design fee + $800 piece = $1,300 total

You don't need to have it all figured out.

That's what I'm here for.
