Here at Mark Michael Diamond Designs we consider custom jewelry our specialty. While creating a one-of-a-kind custom jewelry piece is a fun and intimate process, we get lots of questions about how the process works and where to start. Today we’re going to answer our 6 most commonly asked custom jewelry questions.To get more news about projection necklace, you can visit koalaprint.com official website.

1. Consultation: The first step in the custom jewelry process is to meet with one of our in-house designers for a custom consultation. During this initial meeting, the designer will get to know more about the project you had in mind, your overall design aesthetic, and assess any gemstones or metal that you’d like to use in your project. A custom consultation typically takes between 30 – 60 minutes and is completely free of charge. If we’re working with you remotely, the design consultation will be done over a series of emails, phone calls, or texts.

2. Sketches: After your consultation the designer will work on a series of hand sketches and notify you when the sketches are ready to see. Sketches are typically completed 2-5 days after your initial consultation and are the first step in bringing your design to life. Having sketches created is completely free of charge. During this second meeting, the designer will go over the sketches they’ve created for you and answer any questions you may have. Once you’ve selected a sketch that you like, the designer will be able to let you know the cost of your custom jewelry piece. The price of custom jewelry depends on many different factors including metal type, stone type, number of gemstones, and complexity of design.

If we’re working with you remotely, the sketches will be emailed to you. Your designer will be happy to review the sketches with you over the phone, answering any questions you might have regarding the designs.
3. CAD Renders: Once you’ve approved a sketch, our designers use computer aided design (CAD) to create photo-realistic renders to really bring your custom jewelry piece to life. CAD renders typically take 2-7 days to complete and will be emailed to you once they are ready. During the CAD render process you can easily request side by side comparisons of different metal combinations, stone sizes, band widths, etc. The CAD process really helps you visualize your jewelry creation and ensures we create a piece of jewelry you’ll love.
4. Wax Model: Once you’ve approved the CAD renders, the last step is to create a 3D wax model. Using our on-site 3D printer we will create a life size model of your custom jewelry piece. The wax model helps you visualize the exact size and proportion of your finished piece. During the wax model process you can still request additional changes if needed. Creating a 3D wax model typically takes 3-7 days.
