Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a Custom Project?
Use the Custom Form Below to reach out about starting your Custom Project. Then we can set up an an initial meeting to connect and discuss your vision
What is the process like?
After our initial meeting I will source any stones and create visuals for your project. Here we will make any revisions and will work to reach your finalized design
Once the design is finalized, your piece will be hand sculpted into wax form, or 3-D printed, depending on how we approach the design. This wax, or resize form will then be cast into the Recycled metal of your choice. Then the raw metal casting be finished into a ring, stones will be set, and the ring will be polished and finished. This takes time, but is so close to being completed
Can I use Stones that I already have?
YES
How Long do custom projects take?
Custom Pieces generally take 6-8 weeks, but each project is little different. We will discuss the timeline through every step
How much do Custom Projects Cost?
The cost of a Custom Projects differs depending on stone type and size, as well as metal preference and the design
Custom Projects with heirloom stones, or already owned stones generally start around $3,000
We can discuss your budget and desires during our initial meeting and through the stone sourcing and design process
Stone Deposits and Custom projects are usually structured with 50 / 50 payment, where half the payment is due at the beginning of the project and the remaining half once the project is complete. If the Stones are over $5,000, the project will require a upfront full stone deposit with the remaining balance when the ring is complete
What is the return policy?
All Custom Projects are Final Sale. But my goal is for every person to be satisfied with their piece. If this isn’t the case, I will do my best to work with you to make it right
Where is your jewelry made?
FREDEN is manufactured in the United States, in my Oakland, California Studio. The Gold and Silver used are Recycled and come from an industry trusted Caster in New York City. I source my Stones carefully, from trusted vendors that I've formed relationships with over time. And when possible, I prefer Post-Consumer or Antique Stones
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is based on the value of the items in your order. Most orders will ship 2-Day Shipping, with a signature required
