Custom Jewelry Design Process for Dimitrios Creations

  1. Initial Consultation (Free)

    • Overview: Meet with the client to understand their vision and ideas for the custom piece. This can be done in-person or virtually.
    • Details: Discuss the type of jewelry (ring, necklace, bracelet, etc.), preferred materials (gold, silver, etc.), gemstone choices (diamonds, sapphires, etc.), and design inspiration.
    • Timeline: 30-45 minutes.

  2. Concept Development ($100 Deposit)

    • Overview: Our designers will create a series of initial sketches or 3D digital models based on the client’s preferences and feedback from the consultation.
    • Details: The deposit is applied toward the final cost of the piece. The client will review up to three design options and select or revise their favorite.
    • Timeline: 1-2 weeks.

  3. Material Selection & Quote Approval

    • Overview: Once the design is finalized, we provide a detailed quote for materials and labor. We help the client select the perfect gemstones and metals to bring the design to life.
    • Details: Adjustments to the budget or design can be made at this stage to ensure the piece meets the client's expectations in terms of cost and quality.
    • Timeline: 3-5 days.

  4. 3D Rendering & Final Approval

    • Overview: A detailed 3D rendering or wax model of the custom design is presented for final approval before production begins. Any final tweaks to the design can be made at this point.
    • Details: After approval, the client will be asked to pay 50% of the total cost to proceed with production.
    • Timeline: 1 week.

  5. Craftsmanship & Production

    • Overview: Our expert jewelers begin crafting the piece using ethically sourced materials and the highest quality techniques. Gemstones are meticulously set, and the design is polished to perfection.
    • Details: This stage is when the custom piece truly comes to life. We keep the client updated on progress throughout.
    • Timeline: 3-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the piece.

  6. Final Inspection & Delivery
