[Out of Stock Jewelry Items]
The jewelry designs on our online jewelry studio showroom have been selected for the ease of re-creating a very similar jewelry piece at the same or similar price as the fine jewelry art piece displayed. In most instances the cost will be the same as the listed price. A colored gemstone can have the same length and width dimensions as another gemstone but not be the same carat weight due to depth differences. Therefore, the gemstone you receive may not be the exact carat weight as the actual fine jewelry art piece shown.The gemstone carat weight is just as likely to be slightly more as it is to be slightly less. When millimeter (mm)dimensions are provided without a carat weight it indicates a gemstone that is purchased based only on its dimensions and its carat weight is of little consequence in regards to the gemstones value.

For stone setting allow an additional two to four weeks.

[4.Your Custom Jewelry Design]
For a custom jewelry order based on your unique design concept or request you will receive two or three sketches to comment and/or select from. This jewelry design phase typically takes two to four weeks. Once you make a selection the jewelry wax model will be created. This wax model is being created just for you and is a one of a kind original. Due to its nature the wax model typically takes three to six weeks to create. It is recommended that you request a permanent silicon mold be made of your custom jewelry design after it is cast in metal so that in the event something should happen to it that is beyond repair a copy can be made without recurring additional design fees. The cost of this service is nominal compared to the heartbreak of not being able to replace your specific design. Depending on the design it may not be possible or feasible to make a silicon mold. A silicon mold will be included in the cost of your order if your custom order encompasses multiple copies of a particular custom design. Allow one week for the silicon mold process if this is included in your order. From this point the procedure is the same as the custom variation process. In summary, the process will take seven to nineteen weeks depending on your specific custom jewelry order.

After placing a gemstone order we will notify our particular source or sources for your particular request. Upon reviewing, every gemstone is carefully assessed in it's over all ability to o-oh and a-ah. Factors such as color, brilliance, clarity, cut and fair market price are always considered. If the colored gemstone does not meet our exacting standards in any one of these criterions it will not be accepted. Our diamonds under .25ct are VS in clarity and G-I in color and premium cut for substantial beauty. Larger diamonds with a lesser color and clarity can still appear quite beautiful. Care is taken to assure that the clarity inclusions do not impair the diamond¹s durability or beauty and that the color appears white unless a colored diamond is ordered. We only purchase gemstones and diamonds created in nature. You have the option to review your gemstone or diamond order prior to setting provided that the gemstone cost has been
paid. The cost of shipping and insurance will be added to your balance.
