1. CONSULTATION + DESIGN
In your first consultation meeting with Dana Reed, we will discuss your vision, inspiration, budget, and timeline. In the days following, we will propose three unique designs and select a final design based on your edits and preferences. We do ask that a $300 non-refundable design fee be paid in full in order to begin your hand-rendered sketches.
PROJECT MINIMUMS FOR CUSTOM DESIGNS
Full Custom Design $2500 minimum
A one of a kind piece of jewelry designed by Dana Reed using stones sourced by Dana Reed.
*Please keep in mind that most custom jobs land between $3,500-$5,000 for engagement rings and vary depending on stone size + type. Matching custom wedding bands often land in the $2,200-$2,500 range.

2. DEPOSIT
Once your design is approved, we will require a 50% deposit of the total cost in order to begin handcrafting your one-of-a-kind piece.
3. CAD MODELING
Once you've selected your favorite hand-rendered sketches and submitted your deposit, our CAD specialist will seamlessly translate your design into a digital format, enhancing it with style, grace, and beauty. We’ll send you a digital rendering for your final approval. The price includes two revisions, with any additional edits subject to a surcharge.
4. CONSTRUCTION
Your piece will be constructed directly based on the computer design and will be hand-finished in precious metal. Every detail is inspected under high-power magnification and laser welders to ensure your piece is seamless.
5. FINISHING
Precious stones are set by hand, and you'll have the option of adding a custom message to be engraved or secret stones to be inlaid. When your piece is polished and perfected, we will call to let you know it is ready for pick up or delivery.
