Custom Order Process
Thank you for your interest in working with us at KAFJ. Here is the basic outline of our custom order process:
Step 1: Meeting
Listening and understanding your design desires is the first step in creating any custom piece. We can set up a meeting at your convenience via Zoom or in person to discuss your design ideas. Click here to schedule: KAFJ Initial Meeting. We will also discuss the details of the process during our first meeting so you understand how we turn your idea into the perfect piece of jewelry just for you.
Don’t worry if you don’t know exactly what you want, I can help. For the past two decades, I have helped people design the jewelry of their dreams. Together we will discover the design for your very special piece.
Step 2. Contract Signing
Once the design is finalized and agreed upon, we will sign a contract with the estimated cost of your custom piece, a description of what is being made and any pieces of jewelry that are taken in for the process (i.e. old jewelry, gemstones…).
Step 3. Payment Schedule
Payment of half of the estimated cost is due at contract signing. Payment can be made through: PayPal/credit card/cash or check in person. The estimated cost is subject to change based on fluctuating metal and gemstone markets; but if there are any major changes we will notify you. Custom orders generally take 5 to 8 weeks to complete after contract signing and payment is received. Final payment is due upon finished product completion. Once final payment is received, delivery will be scheduled.
