Custom Design

At Elle's Grace Jewelry Design is our forte, anything you can dream up we can bring to life with your direction and vision. Additionally, we will happily customize our art to fit our clients needs whether it is scaling sizes, changing bale sizes or going deeper into changing the composition of the art in a style that resonates with our customers. 

For custom work the  timeline can vary depending on material availability and design complexity,  but on average custom design takes about 2-3 weeks from start to finish.  Alternatively if we are only making small changes to an existing design it can take as little as a week. At Elle's Grace Jewelry we find inspiration in many different mediums and processes so we are virtually limitless when it comes to your unique ideas.

If you have thoughts of a creation dancing in your head and are ready to see them pirouette to life, we'd love to hear from you!  

 

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GO CUSTOM?

For semi custom jobs, which include designs that are slight alterations from our original designs, the minimum  design charge is $150. For fully custom, or extremely ornate jobs the artwork and design is estimated by the hour at a rate of $75 per hour, we have works that have far exceeded 10 hours in design, but average custom design times are 3-4 hours.

IS MY CUSTOM DESIGN TRULY ONE OF A KIND?

In a sense, yes.
While Elle'sGrace owns the rights to all of our designs, if your custom design is made uniquely for you and very distinct, we are not going to duplicate it exactly. However, for more simplified designs, (example: mahi jumping, or tarpon rolling) we cannot guarantee that a similar Pendant will not be recreated but as a courtesy to you we will always try to make appropriate alterations.


CAN I MAKE REVISIONS TO MY CUSTOM DESIGN?

After discussing the full composition of your design, with consideration to weight, scale and budget. I will send you 2D computer renderings of your piece. This includes 1 free revision. After that, there is a fee for designing. 
If we change the design completely after the first full design plus 1 revision, there will be an additional $150 charge plus any fees for additional design time.

CAN I CUSTOMIZE A ELLESGRACE PIECE?

We happily customize our art to fit our clients needs whether it is scaling sizes, changing bale sizes or going deeper into changing the composition of the art in a style that resonates with our customers. We specialize in custom jewelry design and hate to see when our artwork imitated, copied, or replicated.  so we wouldn’t want to do that to another jewelry designer. We do not copy designs from other stores as it is illegal to copy another artist’s work. However, if you see patterns, designs or motifs that you would like to capture in your custom design, we can design something similar to meet your expectations. 

CAN I ASK ANOTHER JEWELER TO COPY A PENDANT FROM YOUR WEBSITE?

No. EllesGrace is a Registered Trademark, and our designs  are Copyrighted. Copyright infringement is illegal and can be prosecuted under U.S. law.
