Our Services

 

Custom Design

We are Winnipeg's custom jewelry experts. From engagements and weddings to births, birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas and every life event in between, we can help you craft the perfect treasure – a gift that can be passed down for generations. Whether you're repurposing family heirlooms or starting from scratch with only an idea and a budget, we'll help bring your vision to life.  Being a jewelry workshop, we are able to create any design you have in mind. Whether you have an idea, a picture, or need some creative inspiration, you can work with one of our award winning jewelry designers to make your vision a reality.

During the design and manufacturing process we consult extensively with you to develop and create exactly what you have in mind. Our expertise, commitment to quality and customer service will ensure the creation of a fine jewelry item that you will be proud to wear for many years to come.

 HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: 

1 | We have a first meeting to discuss design ideas, budgets and timelines. 

2 | We will create a series of sketches to refine the idea. 

3 When a design is chosen, you can browse our collection of precious stones.

4 | We create a 3D rendering and a wearable 3D wax model. 

5 | We create your new treasure and get it legally appraised on your behalf.

We welcome you to come in for an obligation-free design consultation where we can discuss your design ideas.

The design service comes at a minimal cost, and provides the customer with an opportunity to visualise their customised design with a photo-realistic computer drawing, which they are then able to adjust and tweak.
