It’s truly rewarding to create a custom piece that not only represents the wearer and reflects their personal aesthetic, but is infused with a special meaning that a person can wear every day. Be it for a romantic rite of passage, the reimagining of a precious heirloom, or a gift to yourself, our custom process is collaborative every step of the way.

Meet with Pilar
This is where the collaboration truly begins. During the initial consultation, you’ll discuss the project in-depth including the style, aesthetics and personality of the wearer. If you’re confident about what you’d like to create and have ideas and examples to share, this consultation functions as a brainstorm. Client’s who prefer to choose a stone upon which the design will be based, can use this consultation as an opportunity to browse our comprehensive collection of ethically sourced stones. Though we have a rotating collection of gemstones on hand, we also source specific gemstones from suppliers if necessary to realize a client’s vision. All custom projects require a non-refundable deposit of $250, the amount will be deducted from your final invoice. For more information visit our Guide to Custom page.
Your Future Heirloom
Once the initial consultation and gem selection is complete, the design process begins. Once completed, you’ll be presented with a number of sketches from which you’ll select a final design. This step can take place virtually or in-person, depending on your preference. When the final design and gemstones have been approved, it takes approximately 6-8 weeks for our expert team to produce the final piece. Their wonderful craftsmanship and expertise with precious metals and gemstones ensures every piece is beautiful and wearable for generations to come.
