Custom Orders

Shermineh can create custom one-of-a-kind jewelry for our clients. Interested in having one made for you? Read on to learn more.

• What does a custom project include? Custom projects may include modifications to a select number of Talāyee Fine Jewelry's existing designs, as well as a design entirely one of a kind that's made just for you.
• Is there a minimum budget for custom orders? Yes. Custom orders generally start with a minimum budget of $1200 for gold pieces, and $600 for silver pieces. There are always exceptions so don’t be afraid to reach out with your dream request. All custom orders require a 50% non-refundable deposit to get started, and once the design has been approved by the client the other 50% will need to be paid.
• How long will it take? Custom orders can take between 4-8 weeks depending on the scope and complexity of the project.
• Can I repurpose my existing jewelry? Yes and no. I do not repurpose the metal from existing jewelry. Most gold is an alloy, meaning that it is mixed with other metals to give it its strength and shine. It is hard to control for the metal color, texture, strength, and porosity without having it processed at a refinery first. Gemstones can be repurposed! Please reach out for more information on that process.
• Please be aware that shipping valuable items always carries a risk of a package getting lost, tampered with, or stolen. When shipping items to Talāyee Fine Jewelry, it is highly recommended to insure your packages, and use the shortest shipping option. FedEx overnight with signature required is a great option. Talāyee Fine Jewelry is not responsible for packages that are lost, stolen, or tampered with while in transit to Talāyee HQ.
• Tell me about the process. You can email hello.talayee@gmail.com with an idea of what you'd like for your custom project. This can include image inspiration, ideas you've been thinking up, guidelines around budget, and anything else that feels important to you. From there I would come back to you with design options. Once you decide on the direction you want to go in and pay the 50% deposit, your custom design will go into production and be completed.
