Custom Order Process
Thank you for your interest in working with us at KAFJ! Here is the the way our custom order process works:
Step 1: Meeting
Listening and understanding your dream jewelry is the first step in creating any custom piece. First, set up a meeting at your convenience via Zoom or in person to discuss your design ideas. Click here to schedule Zoom appointment: KAFJ Initial Meeting. Please email us to schedule an in-person appointment.
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. Take our Jewelry Style Quiz Here before you meet with us to help us bring your dream jewelry to life.
I will discuss the details of the process and answer your questions during our first meeting so you understand how your ideas get turned into the perfect piece of jewelry just for you.
Step 2. Contract Signing
Once the design is finalized and agreed upon, a contract is signed 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.
