The Bespoke Journey

Every commission begins with a conversation. Whether you are refining a piece from our collections or bringing an idea that does not yet exist, there are four ways to begin.

The Shared Journey

Whichever route you choose, the journey is the same.

  1. Consultation

    We discuss your idea, your stone, and what is possible.

  2. Design approval

    Sketches or renderings for your review. Nothing proceeds without your word.

  3. Crafting

    Your piece is made by hand in our atelier.

  4. Delivery

    Presented in Aurea packaging, with documentation.

On working with your own materials

Every stone entrusted to us begins with an assessment. Older cuts, treated stones, and stones with existing inclusions can be fragile under setting, and we will tell you honestly what is possible before any work begins — including when we believe a stone should not be reset.

Pieces incorporating client-supplied materials carry our warranty on our craftsmanship, though we are unable to warrant stones we did not source.

Begin a conversation

Tell us what you have in mind — a stone, a sketch, or only a feeling. If you are unsure which route is yours, that is where we begin.
