Custom Consultation
Laura Lotus Love
How much does a design consultation cost?
Design consults are $60 and goes toward your final price if you move forward.
Each piece we make is built from the ground up and is so unique, it is difficult to give an accurate quote without having a full design meeting. I encourage you to browse my web to see the range of projects I have made in the past
Can you do anything?
I will always be honest with you. I will let you know if I am not capable. I am a completely hand made business, which means some things I cannot do based on the fact I do not use machines. Because it is handmade, there will be a slight imperfections that also bring character to the piece.
I always have the discussion with my client and let them know that if they are looking for something that looks like it was bought out of the store. I am not your person. If you are looking for something that tells a special story, is unique and one of a kind and made with lots of love and special care- I am your gal!I typically have two approaches to designing. I can design around what the client loves or around a budget. If you have a particular budget I pride myself on guiding people with designs and corresponding metals, gemstones, etc… that best suite their financial needs but that still provide a great value, both visually and in quality. Designing around what you love means that there isn’t a fixed budget, but rather a determined budget range for the general look and materials. Either way, design parameters are part of a conversation that we have at the initial design consultation.
When do I pay for my custom jewelry?
Payments for custom jewelry are divided into 2 installments. First you pay 50% prior to production to get the ball rolling. Then I require 25% to be paid before commissioned jewelry goes into final production. You’ll pay the the rest upon delivery/pick up.
Do you offer financing, payment plans or layaway?
I offer payment plans and a layaway program. Just ask for details!
