How long does the custom design process take?
As long as it takes. The most important thing is that the design is executed properly. But we will work together to determine a timeframe that meets your needs. Usually, if the piece is fabricated rather than cast, once we have determined the final design, it can be executed in no more than 3 weeks. If the piece is cast, it becomes more of a piece of sculpture, first in wax, then in gold, plantinum, or silver. That means I sculpt the wax model, show it to you in person or digitally by email, get your approval, have it cast, then finish it with or without stone setting. The whole process can take six weeks. (By the way, I use a casting service in New York. It keeps my overhead and turnaround time down and guarantees top quality gold content every time.
