Custom Jewelry


Custom Jewelry is simple to commission. 

 

1. The designer, Cait will first set up an email or in person appointment -at her studio and gallery in Warren, RI -

to discuss flowers, colors, initials of the bride and groom, the wedding date, and product choices.

 

2. Cait will then create a custom design based on the bridal bouquet, and maybe a choice of back-side designs to be approved. This service is complementary, and you do not have to submit a payment until after you approve the design.

 

3. Once the designs have been approved, a color sample is made, and the colors are approved

 

4. Lastly, the enamel is finished with intricately drawn details on both sides. Clear enamel is layered over the top to preserve the drawing in the glass forever, making the jewelry truly heirloom quality.

Sterling silver or 14K yellow gold findings are added last.  

 

5. Bridal jewelry is packaged very carefully in the eco-friendly packaging, with eco-suede pouches (for later use) layered on top for cushioning. Each jewelry piece comes with eco-friendly recyclable paper gift wrap, along with a greeting card and business, artist, and care cards. The order is sent with a tracking number to be delivered within 1-3 days of shipping, (usually earlier than the set due date) or can be picked up in person at the designer's studio & gallery in Warren, RI.

 


Jewelry Product Options


Custom Design Fee

For Custom Designs, you must purchase one "Custom Design" for $20-$50 along with your jewelry choice.

This is a separate charge because it is a single fee for a single one Custom Design even if you purchase a set or multiples of the same design (even in different jewelry product options). This is a huge benefit to those purchasing sets and multiples for bridal parties, matching pieces for friends and family, etc. Get creative! I would be happy to design something with narrative options for the back side for you.

Custom Designs- Subject Matter


I love to create custom designs, especially those with deeper and commemorative meanings.

Email me to discuss your ideas, and hear design suggestions on the front and back side "story" or relationship.

Any flora, fauna or natural object, landscape, are within the realm of possibility.  

Please take a look at past commissions (below).

 

All designs will be first created as a sketch to be approved first, in B&W or color, 

in a maximum of 1-3 sketches or designs per side to choose from,

before moving on to approving the designs, confirming the order and collecting payment.

Custom Policies:

The artist will draw three designs (of both sides each, 6 in total)  to choose from, based on photos and descriptions agreed upon or provided by the client. Once the initial design choice is approved and confirmed by the client, it will not be changed. If for some reason the design is requested to be changed after this point, another custom fee will be charged for the artist's time.

Due dates for custom pieces to be delivered shall be discussed and confirmed at the time of ordering,

as custom designs take longer than the average processing & shipping time listed.

 

To purchase a Custom Design Order:

Either write a note at checkout for your Custom Design request upon purchase, or email in advance.

If  you choose to order through the website rather than email, it is helpful that in addition you email details and photos.

Custom orders are the main reason I love what I do.

 

Hearing the stories and reasons behind the requests fill me with pride to be able to create something that will hold meaning and be treasured forever. Creating the custom design, and getting it just as it was imagined-- or better- is what I aim for. My custom order fee which is considerably low, covers the time and skill to create your perfectly envisioned design. Once the final design is approved, I create the piece and draw the design again exactly as the original sketch. I take a final photo of the jewelry and send it out to my customer.

 

For a local bride that commissioned her wedding party's jewelry from me, I met with her in person to present the jewelry and make sure everything was exactly as she wished, on the due date given, well in advance of her special day. I make sure to give due dates and always meet them or deliver earlier.

 

I've also had requests such as adding special details such as initials or dates to the backside, you may request this with a custom order by emailing or adding a note when ordering. I have done this for brides or for significant others purchasing gifts for their sweethearts. Since my work is preserved forever in the enamel, (which is glass over metal) some customers have purchased the jewelry as heirlooms.
