What does
it cost?
The price depends on the amount of
labour, how intricate the design is, how
many and how to set the gemstones and
the karat and amount of gold.

start under $400 and range upward to
around $1200.
What if I don't like it?
Satisfaction is guaranteed. You
pay nothing until you accept the
finished piece.
How long does it all take?
It takes about a week to carve a wax.
About another week to produce the
finished piece. see section
"how
a ring is made" to understand
the intricate process.
What about
warranty?
We guarantee and warrant what we make.
The
warranty is the same as if you
purchased an item out of our showcase.
Okay I am ready to do it what now?
Bring your ideas and pictures. Its
best to phone for an appointment with a
design consultant so someone is
available to work with you.
Now you're on the way to making a one of
a kind, spectacular piece.
Can you use my old gold?
Yes but we don't recommend it.
Used gold gets brittle when reworked and
it contains solder and impurities.
Casting with old gold results in pit
marks, cracks and imperfections
for a piece we'll both be proud of we
need to use clean, fresh casting grain.
We credit you for any old gold by
weight.
For sentimental reasons I want to use my
old gold
Perhaps just use a portion? We can
mix some with pure gold grain to get the
colour, karat and consistency needed.
Also old gold can be refined and made
into pure casting grain for a fee.
If its important to use your own old
gold jewellery, we recommend using no
more than about 70% & mixing that with
pure casting grain.
I have no idea what design I want?
No problem. Our design consultants
will work with you.
There are many designs to view in our
computer assisted design centre.
Can I see your designs online?
There are 1000s of designs and
too many options for gemstone sizes,
shapes, setting
and placement. Our consultant will
work with you find suitable choices.

Can I have it made in silver?
No we don't custom make in silver.
The major component of the price is the
labour. Perhaps for a silver
colour use white gold? You'll be
happier with a gold product.
