There are several important steps involved in creating a custom piece. Each project is unique, and our approach is tailored to match. We don't rush the process; it is important that we get it right.

Pricing Estimates

Price varies for custom work and heirloom redesign. Primarily, it depends on the materials used and the complexity of the design. We strive to be competitive and will work with you on budgeting during our initial consultation. The minimum cost for custom work and heirloom redesign typically starts at $500 for design projects with minimal complexity.

When redesigns and adjustments on made to order pieces require minor changes, there is no minimum price.

Payment Policy

There is a bespoke design fee for custom pieces that is due as a non-refundable deposit to start the project after our initial consultation. This fee is due after the preliminary design and quote is provided for review.

Please note that you will be charged an additional fee of $150 for each additional consultation that will be added to your final balance.

The final balance is due once the piece is complete prior to shipping or pick-up at our studio.
