COUNTDOWN TO BLACK FRIDAY SALE

Wearable Tribute

Inspired by DG’s stunning custom pieces, the decision to create a personalized ring stemmed from years of admiration and finally recognizing her own worth. Incorporating stones from a 10th anniversary ring and sentimental pieces from her mother's collection, this ring holds profound significance as a wearable tribute to cherished memories of lost loved ones.

“I have nothing but good things to say about Dana's (specifically Linda) and my experience. I would highly recommend using Dana's for any redesign experience 100%. I love both pieces and am wearing them and feeling very sentimental about them like I have never done with any other jewelry I have owned.”

WE LOOK FORWARD TO TELLING YOUR STORY

Our team of Designers, Model Makers and Goldsmiths guide you in transforming ideas into one-of-a-kind custom jewellery creations as unique as you are. Dana’s Goldsmithing has been specializing in Custom Jewellery Design and Redesign since 1992. Let us tell your story!

THE CUSTOM DESIGN PROCESS

Having a custom designed piece of jewellery should be an exciting and enjoyable process.  In order for us to get to know your style and needs a little better we ask that you take a little time to provide more information prior to the initial design consultation by completing our Custom Design Questionnaire.  This information is important to give our Design Team a starting point and allows us to pair you with the right designer for your needs.   Once received, one of our design consultants will be in touch by email within 2 business days to schedule either a virtual or in-store Design Consultation.  

Our Dana's team will not copy another designer or client's work.  If you like a piece that has already been created or that you have images of, we would be happy to use some of the design elements and a similar look, however your design will be unique to you.   

Initial Consultation

Dana's Design experience begins with a no obligation consultation with one of our design consultants.  The initial consultation is available in store or by video conference (zoom).  We will explore your preferences in jewellery styles, metal options and stone choices as well as provide you with possibilities, design suggestions and physical or visual examples. 

*Any existing jewellery intended for redesign should be brought with you for the initial consultation.  For virtual consultations we will arrange for drop off of these items either prior to or after the initial zoom consultation.  

Preliminary Designs

After your initial design consultation, we will produce either hand sketched designs or alternative images, physical examples or renderings for your review.  

This process is meant to be collaborative.  Once we receive input from you after receiving our initial concepts we will provide one, revised design, image or rendering and an estimated quotation for your approval.   

If you require further designs or additional consultations (either in store or virtually) a Design Fee of $500 + HST would apply.  

(if applicable)

Stone Removal

Once the general design is approved, it is at this time that we require a 50% nonrefundable deposit and a signed Stone Removal and Resetting Form if you are planning to use some or all of your own diamonds and/or gemstones which are carefully removed, sorted and measured for use in the new design.

CAD Modelling

Our model makers create your one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces using state of the art Computer Aided Design software.

3D Printing

Having a 3D printer on-site gives us the ability to produce 3D models very quickly, which are an EXACT replica of the finished piece and can be tried on for confirmation of the design elements and overall scale.

2nd Consultation

The model(s), as well as coloured renderings are offered to the client to ensure the design is exactly as they envisioned it to be.  When you are comfortable proceeding to completion, we require a signed  'Approval to Proceed' Form.

Production of your Design

Once approved, the design will go into production which includes many processes including casting (plastic resin to your choice of metal), assembly, finishing and setting.

Quality Assessment

Each DG Design is carefully inspected under magnification for quality assurance.

Photography

We are as excited as you are about your new design. The last step in the process is photography to capture this one-of-a-kind story, its brilliance and uniqueness.
