Our Bespoke Process
Reaching Out
Ready to embark on a bespoke journey with us? Begin by booking a free design consultation using the link below. Once booked, one of our dedicated jewellery consultants will reach out to you, via email or instagram to get an understanding of your design idea.
In this initial conversation, we'll delve into your personal tastes and lifestyle, helping to articulate and refine your vision. We'll discuss your preferences for diamonds and coloured gemstones, exploring cuts, colours, design elements, metals, your budget range and the different ways we are able to add sentiment to your jewellery.
Just like the bespoke piece we'll create, this step is multifaceted, ensuring your design is as unique as you are.
Next, it's time for your design consultation.
Your Design Consult
At Son Del Sol, your dedicated Bespoke Designer (Reece or Miki) will lead you through the design process, aiming to craft a truly personal and distinctive piece. During this stage, your Designer will collaborate one on one with you in-store, by virtual appointment or even through email when needed.
Whether your consultation takes place in our Kiama studio, virtually, or through email, it's a time for sharing, collaboration, and creativity.
Our team of fine jewellery and gemstone specialists will carefully review your initial inspiration and guide you through a thoughtfully curated collection of ideas and possibilities. Additionally, we'll introduce you to a selection of hand-picked diamonds and gemstones, each meticulously sourced by our in-house gem specialist.
At Son Del Sol, we take great joy in collaborating with you on this intuitive journey to discover the perfect gemstones, design, and metals that reflect your unique vision.
Finding Your Perfect Stone
Once you have decided on a final design, our team at Son Del Sol will meticulously seek out a selection of options to find the perfect gemstone for your bespoke peice. During this stage, your Designer will provide accurate quotes for the approved design, considering each proposed stone. These stone options will be presented to you either in person or through detailed HD videos and imagery via email.
The sourcing stage is a journey in itself and continues until we locate the ideal stone for your bespoke piece. This process varies in duration, as some gemstones may be readily available, while others, particularly rare or highly specific ones, may require more time. Our unwavering commitment remains the same – to discover the perfect fit for your precious jewellery piece.
Confirm The Curation Of Your Dream Design
After successfully sourcing the ideal stone and finalising your bespoke design, we move forward by sending you a detailed quote and kindly request a deposit of 50% to confirm your order and secure your stone. Confirming your order is an acknowledgement that you agree with the T's & C's and also ensures that your one-of-a-kind piece begins its transformation into a tangible work of art.
Hand Crafting Your Jewellery
At Son Del Sol, each bespoke piece is meticulously crafted in our Kiama studio by expert jewellers.
If you have a specific deadline, please inform us at the start. For engagement pieces, we advise waiting to plan proposals until you have your ring due to possible delays.
Production generally takes between 4-8 weeks, varying by design. Our expert jewellers create pieces through a mix of handmade and CAD methods. We maintain control over every step, using ethically sourced materials and highly skilled craftspeople. This ensures transparency with frequent updates.
Quality Assured
Once your bespoke piece is lovingly crafted and receives its final exquisite polish, it undergoes three rigorous rounds of quality control, ensuring it meets our uncompromising standards.
When every detail shines to perfection, we carefully place it in a ring box, ready for your collection.
For our valued clients located interstate or internationally, we take the extra step of sharing a personalised video showcasing your finished piece before sending you the final invoice.
