Design development

We are able to assist with the design development. From the very beginning when a jewelry line is just a concept, we are able to help develop detailed schematics that can be used to develop a prototype.

If we are provided with a jewelry design for a jewelry piece that a customer would like manufactured, then the next step is to make a prototype. In order to make the best possible prototype that correspond to the customer's idea, we ask for as many specifics as possible using three dimensions where necessary for understanding spatial relationships.

• When constructing a design for us, if possible please try and send a view of the overall piece along with front and side views of specific important components of the design. If we are unclear on an aspect of the design, we will ask for clarification before proceeding. All designs should include 3 dimensions.


• If no design is provided for us, we can develop one for you. The price depends on the project and would be added on top of normal prototyping costs.

This is enough because the design is relatively flat

In this case we need 2 views as well as measurements.

• When we receive detailed descriptions of a project we will be able to put together a quote with the estimated price of the prototype. This price is not the final price for the production of your jewelry. It includes research costs and molds which constitute a significant part of the prototypes' price.


• The amount of discount between prototypes and finished goods can vary widely based on the design. Some types of jewelry don't require molds to be made, and thus have small development fees. For these, the prototype will be close in cost to the final product.
