Fancy Boheme Custom Designs

I love working with custom clients to collaborate on new designs and am honored to be commissioned to create mementos that celebrate your life.

Pricing + Materials

All custom pieces are priced according to current metal markets, stone supplier pricing, the complexity of the project, the cost of my labor + the number of revisions needed to land on our final design.

  • Sterling Silver, accepted on a limited basis— starting at $350

  • 14k + 18k Gold (yellow/white/rose) — starting at $600

  • Engagement Rings/Wedding Sets — starting at $1,200

I offer flexible payment plans on custom work. Client provided materials are accepted on a limited basis. Please see more information below.

Timing

Custom design work is accepted on a limited basis from January - October. The entire process typically takes 6-12 weeks from start to finish.

Compatibility

My custom design process is based on the understanding that you’re familiar & excited by my existing work: loving what I already do creates confidence that I’ll make something that will speak to you.

Initial Inquiry

You can reach out here Etsy via messenger or by email at fancy@fancyboheme.com to inquire. When reaching out, it's helpful to include:

  • Your timing + budget

  • Which materials (metals, stones, etc.) you're interested in

  • Who we're designing this piece for + their style preferences

  • Inspirational photos/design ideas

Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

Step One: Custom Consultation

  • Budget

  • Timeline

  • What you'd like to include (specific stones, metals, diamonds, etc.)

  • The person who will be wearing the jewelry: their style, how they plan to wear the final piece, etc.

  • What inspiration/story will be behind this piece, including any visual references/quick sketches to aid discussion

  • What techniques and materials may be needed to accomplish our vision

All custom consultations are conducted remotely via email or Zoom, depending on your preference.

Step Two: Custom Booking

Once we both feel aligned and excited to move forward, I'll collect a custom booking deposit of $100 via email invoice. This non-refundable deposit reserves your time on my customs books. It will be applied to the final balance of your custom piece and includes:

  • Initial Sketch/Mock-Up: up to five simple line drawings/virtual mockups to help narrow down options

  • Additional Revisions: up to 2 revision sketches* based on initial feedback from our first round

*Each additional mock-up is $30 and will be applied to the final balance of your piece

Step Three: Design + Estimates


The design process includes the 3-5 initial sketches + 2 revision rounds above, an estimated price range, plus any additional revisions at your request. This part takes the most time and requires a bit of back and forth via email/Zoom/phone to land on our final design. The design process can be as collaborative as you'd like it to be: we can land on the final design with a couple quick sketches in a couple of weeks, or we can explore a few possible designs over the course of several weeks to weigh our options.

For gold designs, a sterling silver sample our finalized design can be made upon request to help us better visualize the final piece. Sterling silver samples are priced according to current metal market values + design complexity.

Step Four: The Build!

Once our final design is approved, we can move forward and bring our sketches to life!

  • A final price will be calculated and 50% of this final balance will billed via email invoice.

  • This initial balance can be collected in installments upon request.

  • I'll also request your shipping address to calculate applicable shipping costs and applicable sales taxes.

  • Once all installments for 50% of the final balance have been collected materials will be ordered

  • I will provide an ETA (anywhere from 2-6 weeks) for the initial build

  • Photos/videos of the initial build will be sent for client approval

  • Once approved, all stones will be set and final finishes will be applied.

Step Five: Final Payment + Delivery

  • The remaining balance will be collected prior to shipment/delivery.

  • Local delivery is available to Denver custom clients upon request — all other customs builds will be shipped fully insured with a signature requirement upon delivery.


Client Provided Materials

I currently accept projects using 14 karat yellow gold and stones with a MoH (measure of hardness) of 8+. The International Gem Society has a comprehensive list to help determine your stone’s MoH.

While extreme care is taken with client-provided materials, there is inherent risk to any stone involved in the extraction and setting process, as well as the risk of loss of any material while at my studio or in transit.

A liability waiver is required for all projects involving any client-provided materials.

Quality of Craftsmanship Warranty

To honor the investment you've made in my small business, I offer a warranty of craftsmanship on Fancy Boheme Jewelry pieces. I offer the following complimentary services to the original purchaser within six months of purchase:


• Necklace clasp repair
• Prong tightening

For Fancy Boheme custom order clients, I offer the following services:

• Ring or bracelet resizing on applicable custom orders (please note that not all rings or bracelets can be resized depending in the design) within 12 months of purchase. Resizing requests outside of that window may incur additional costs.
• All repairs due to quality defects are covered for up to 12 months from the time of purchase.

This does not include diamond or stone replacements. Melee-sized diamonds and stones may be replaced at cost with minimal studio fees depending on the original stone's specifications.
