Listed
below are some examples
of design pages I've created when someone, (maybe like you
?) is interested in a custom, one of a kind piece of jewelry.
And, this
is this process I use to work with you in creating a unique
piece you will enjoy and be proud to wear:
After
talking with you, via email and/or phone, about the stones,
shape, overall size and estimated price, I work up a design
based on our discussions. Next, I will create a private page
with a draft design of the jewelry, including images of actual
stones. Sometimes, the design is laid out on paper patterns
which show the shape of the piece and, sometimes, I am able
to use an existing piece of my jewelry substituting different
stone(s) or stone shapes. I use a graphic editor (Paint Shop
Pro) to modify the images so you can see what the piece will
look like when it is finished.
At that
point, we have an actual picture to work from and you can
make suggestions, comments or revisions. This way, when we
arrive at a final design, we both know what the piece will
look like and, to paraphrase, you can be sure that not only
did I hear what you said, but that I understood what you wanted.
Some
of the pages below show both the draft of the design and an
image of the finished jewelry, some don't. It just depends
on whether I was able to take a good photo before I mailed
the piece off.
I consider
it an exceptional and unbelievable privledge that I am able
to do what I enjoy most - make jewelry and cut stones. On
top of that, I also have the incredible opportunity to work
with customers, family and friends to create something of
beauty that will be treasured, either as a gift, worn for
a special occasion or "just because you deserve it"!
Please
call or email me
if you want to work together on a special piece.
