I love making custom work! If you are after something bespoke get in touch by emailing me at maker@madewithgrace.co.nz
Please send through a description of what you are after with as much detail as possible, including:
Jewellery type (e.g. ring, earrings, pendant)
Materials (metal type and stones if applicable)
Inspiration photos or sketches
A budget if you have one
Indicate if there are elements of the design that you would like to match the description exactly or those which are more flexible (e.g. you definitely want it in sterling silver, but are open to different stone options).
Making time
Custom work typically takes a little longer than ready to wear and ready to order pieces to allow time for consultation, design, and acquisition of materials. Once I have received and reviewed your request I will give you an indication of the time required based on the complexity of the design and my capacity, but generally this will fall between 4-8 weeks.
Cost
You can expect pricing to be a bit higher than made to order pieces to reflect the extra time and steps needed to bring your vision to life! Once I have received your request and am satisfied that I have enough information to cost the job, I will send you a quote. Due to the fluctuation of metal prices you will have a fixed amount of time to accept or decline to proceed, which will be clearly stated on the quote.
Once we are both happy and agree to go ahead I will ask for a deposit to cover materials and once received, I will get making! The remainder of the payment will be required once the piece has been finished as desired and before it is shipped.
Please note
I will not make pieces which directly copy or try to replicate other artists' work. If you have seen a piece from another artist which has inspired you, please describe which parts/elements you like about the work and we will discuss how this can be translated into something unique.
