Custom & Bespoke Jewelry

Thank you for considering Jane Sydney Studio to create something made just for you.

Design Consultation

Every project begins with a conversation about your ideas — if you have reference photos, a budget, material in mind, or a timeline. The inquiry form below covers most of these questions and is a good place to start.

I'll develop sketches, design concepts, and an estimated quote so you can decide whether you'd like to move forward before reserving your place in my schedule.

From June 10 through August 10, I do not accept deposits for new custom commissions. I still welcome you to inquire during this time — I'm happy to develop your design and provide a quote so you're ready to book when custom commissions reopen.

Deposits & Payment

A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required before work begins on all custom and semi-custom commissions.

The required deposit is based on the total value of the project. Payment plans are available and work begins once the required deposit threshold has been met.

Payment in Gold

You can pay some or all of your deposit or final balance with unworn, unwanted, or unused gold.

This is different from heirloom recycling or reworking — where your own sentimental gold is melted and reused in your new piece. In those cases, your gold is not used as payment for initial deposit. If more gold is recovered than is needed for your project, the unused gold can be returned to you or "sold" to me against the remaining final balance.

If you're commissioning a piece in silver, prefer fresh gold, or another metal, you may instead use unwanted gold as payment toward your new project.

Gemstone Sourcing

I have a treasure trove of gemstones, opals, cabochons, and other stones in my studio inventory, all with fixed pricing for you to choose from during the design process.

Gemstone sourcing typically only applies when you're looking for a diamond or a specific gemstone that I do not already have in my inventory.

As a registered jeweler, I can help you find the right gemstone or diamond for your project, with access to a large online inventory of natural diamonds to fit an array of personalities and budgets.

For bridal and engagement pieces only, I will help you source authentic lab diamonds if a natural diamond doesn't suit your needs.

We can work together to find the right stone for your piece, and I welcome you to be as involved in the gem selection process as you wish.

Production Timeline

Gemstone sourcing and final design tweaks (if applicable) begin once the required deposit threshold has been met. Fabrication follows once the design is finalized. Once your deposit has been received and you approve the design, most custom pieces are completed within 5-9 weeks.

If your piece is needed for a specific date, please let me know as early as possible — I have been known to make miracles happen.

Final Payment

The remaining balance is due within 14 days of notification that your piece is complete.
