From Concept to Creation - Understanding the Timeline for Custom Jewelry by Luna Felix Goldsmith

When thinking about ordering a personalized piece of jewelry, one of the first things people question is how long it would take. Here's a broad rundown of how long making customized jewelry may take and a discussion of the many variables that impact the time frame.

 What's the turnaround time for completing custom jewelry by Luna Felix Goldsmith?

Luna Felix Goldsmith is well known for having mastered the complex and age-old trade of granulation, which entails employing small gold grains to create motifs in relief. This deft technique makes exquisite and outstanding jewelry creations.  Since each bespoke jewelry item is unique, it is hard to provide an exact timing! Depending on changes, the design process may take one to four weeks, and producing a bespoke jewelry item can take two to six weeks, depending on the design's complexity and any challenges in finding suitable stones.

Client Consultation

The first step is the consultation, where you meet with Luna. During this meeting we discuss the process and get a feel for the client’s personality and overall desires for the piece. A budget for the project is discussed. The design process then starts.

 We will begin working to bring the design to life after the necessary stones have been located.

 To include some of the client's personality and ideas in the work, we talk with them about the sentiments they may hope to convey via the piece.

Materials Needed

●        The materials used to make the personalized jewelry piece will also impact how long it takes to make. We may need to purchase the necessary gold if it is relatively easy. Some of our clients bring us antique gold jewelry that they want to be recycled. In this instance, we start by examining the metal's purity. If it is still usable, we melt it and use it again for the new personalized item, purchasing additional if necessary. Sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds are essential components for some custom jewelry creations.

 The Design of Jewelry

It is crucial to remember that the details required for the piece—both in the design and the handcrafting process[—will impact the timetable. These aspects will take longer if the design requires detailed work or complex settings.
