OUR PROCESS

DESIGN CONSULTATION

The journey first begins with a scheduled private consultation with our designer. This is a perfect opportunity for you to discuss designs, stones, and preferences within your specified budget.

The consultation can also take place virtually through online correspondence. Clients who are based outside of LA or overseas often work with us remotely via emails, text messages, google/zoom calls, photos and/or videos.

We pride ourselves on tailoring this process especially to you, and providing valuable advice, guidance, and education to make the journey just as notable as the final piece.
