THE BESPOKE DESIGN EXPERIENCE

Made for your story.

Jewelry meant to commemorate a person, mark a threshold, or carry a meaning that is entirely your own.

Custom work is a collaborative process, combining your story and ideas with my design language and traditional metalsmithing practice.

THE BESPOKE PROCESS

THE BESPOKE PROCESS

Atratus

The Commission

I — V
  1. I

    Inquiry

    We begin with an inquiry about what you’re looking to create. Tell me about the piece, the occasion, the symbolism, and what draws you to the work of Atratus. I’ll determine whether the project feels like a good fit for the studio.

  2. II

    Design

    Once a project is accepted, we’ll refine the concept together. I’ll develop a design that incorporates your ideas while remaining true to the Atratus aesthetic. Depending on the piece, this may involve sketches, references, wax carving, and design revisions.

  3. III

    Materials

    I source stones and materials specifically for each project. We’ll discuss metal, gemstones, and other details before the piece moves into production.

  4. IV

    The Making

    Once the design is approved, I begin making your piece by hand. Depending on the design, the process may include wax carving, casting, stone setting, finishing, and hand engraving.

  5. V

    Keeping

    Your finished piece is made to be worn, lived in, and eventually become part of your story.

Timeline & Investment

Custom projects typically take 6–10 weeks once the design has been finalized. More involved projects, stone sourcing, or complex engraving may require additional time.

A 50% deposit is required to begin a custom project. The remaining balance is due before the finished piece is delivered.

Custom pricing is quoted individually and is based on the design, materials, gemstones, labor, and level of detail involved.
