Made-to-order jewelry means: I don’t have a stock, and make your jewelry when the order comes in.
I make your order in the metal , size and stones of your choise.
This gives you the chance to adapt a piece if you wich for. If you wich gold or annother stone, there will be a price change.

Heirloom and handmade jewelry is made by the best technieques , to create sustainable jewelry for you, that last a lifetime or longer. Handmade jewelry is made with love for the craft, are heirloom jewels made from scratch, and can be passed down through generations.
I believe that handmade gives much better quality products and uniqueness, it’s made with heart and soul.

Hand engravings brings jewelry to life, it gives depth, shine and interesting patterns, it gives the extra sparkle a jewel needs.
Engraving is a long time consuming process, where carvings are made in metal by a handtool ‘a graver’ that is controlled by hand, handpushed with your own strenght or pushed with a pneumatic power machine. Usually performed with a microscope to have a detailed view.
(it’s a very different way of engraving compared to a rotary tool)
The hand engraving craft is a rare and almost ‘forgotten’ profession these days, while laser engravings take over the manual job. But hand engravings are so much more beautiful and shiny than a laser engraving. Hand engravings makes the jewelry come to life, meaning it gives the jewelry a soul.
-
I mostly do handpush engraving, so i prefer to engrave only prescious metals as silver and gold.
-
Patterns, monograms, text in English script, Initials, inside ring engraving,…
I prefer only to engrave on full and solid Silver or Gold. No plated materials, this to ensure quality. No steel, this material is too hard to engrave by hand.
-
Mostly engraved jewelry in sterling silver, gold items only on made to oreder due to the cost of gold. (some one of a kinds are in gold so check them out,)
* collections wich I adapt once in a while.
* some are limited edtitions.
* one of a kinds. (ready to send)
The limited and the one of a kinds are made to keep it interesting and challenging for me. I like a challenge if it is within my reach of skills and equipment.

It takes about 2 to 5 weeks creation time before being able to ship your jewelry.
One of a kinds - are ready to ship - takes 3 days to pack and ship your item.

No, i don’t do gold or silver plating. I make eveything in solid silver or solid gold because i want to give you the best jewelry that lasts for generations. You get worth for you mony.

I don’t do custom orders regulary, but I make exeptions if the piece is within my niche, within my skills and if it fit’s in my time schedule.
A custom order can take up to 4 months or longer to complete, depending on the complexity of the piece.
A custom order will cost more due to making the design and quality as needed it to be. As probably it will be a piece that I never made before, it needs more time to make and a practice piece to check the quality.
The minimum cost for a custom desing will be 500€ makingtime without the cost of metal and stones for gold projects; 250€ makingtime for silver pieces (olso without the metal and stone price). The price will be given you before start, and you will need ro confirm before I start making.
A deposit is required before the start of the making proces by 70% of the bespoke price for gold projects and 50% of the full price for silver pieces. The item will only be shipped until the full balance is paid.
There will be no return or exchanges with custom pieces. You recieve it as you order it.

It depends on the design if a ring is resizable.
It depends if it containes stones, and what kind of stones, (diamonds - yes, a full alliance - no) if the ring has a pattern so it won’t be ruined, if it's engraved,…
I will only resize a ring that is made by me, so I know how it was made.
