Meet with Ethan
To get started, schedule an in-person or virtual meeting with Ethan. You can schedule by phone, email, direct message through our contact page, or any social media platforms. During this meeting, you and Ethan will get to know one another. We will discuss your goals, design inspiration, budget, and timeframe so that you can enjoy the entire custom design experience. Ethan will discuss all possible options and answer any questions throughout the whole process. We do not expect you to know what you want or even have any jewelry knowledge; the process is completely tailored to you and your needs. For us, this is a collaboration with you in creating your perfect custom piece. We can't wait to meet you!

Choose your stones
No limitations! We take so much pride in our ability to source a wide variety of diamonds and gemstones worldwide. Because we maintain impeccable relationships with our exclusive and conflict-free diamond and gemstone dealers, we can help you handpick the perfect stones for your one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. We are always eager to search for something we have yet to work with; pushing the envelope is fun! We can do these stone showings both in person or virtually.
Design
Once a stone choice is made, it's time to begin the very exciting process of designing! Every project is unique, so the design process is as well. Taking into account all prior discussions about your design inspiration, personal taste, and lifestyle, we will send you lifelike renderings of your custom jewel using our CAD (computer aided design) design software. Because these designs are digital, we can make as many adjustments as you would like. CAD is a very powerful design tool, as we can thoroughly show every possible design option.
3D printed models
Digital CAD renderings alone paint only part of the picture. We provide you with our 3D printed models to compare design options and give you more context along with the digital design renderings. You can try these on and feel design elements and check overall size, heights, and widths. Models are also used to test fit stones and accompanying bands and make other necessary design changes.
Production
When the digital renderings and wax models are approved, it's time for the real magic to happen! Our small team of master jewelers gets to cast the 3D-printed wax model into your desired metal and set your stones according to the digital renderings. Our skilled hands will work many hours using powerful 30x magnification microscopes to ensure we deliver your custom piece finished to our highest standard to last a lifetime.
Delivery
Now comes the best part, delivery! Your custom Louis XV jewel will come in our signature Louis XV packaging with an appraisal for insurance replacement and any other documentation or certifications. You can pick it up in person (with a hug) at our Phoenix design studio or have it shipped directly to you. All shipments are fully insured and require your signature for delivery.
