Made-To-Order, Bespoke, & Custom Orders
Making pieces that speak to you even louder is a process that I love. Here are the particulars on what I do and don’t.
(2-4 weeks)
You’ll see these prices labeled as “made-to-order” throughout the website. Depending on the piece, you’ll have the option to pick a gold color or a specific stone.
(4-6 weeks)
Drawn to a piece but wish you could change up the gold color, size, or stone to make it feel more “you” ? I can usually do a bespoke version.
(up to 4 months)
Book a custom consult with me to discuss working on a concept inspired by one of my existing pieces. I am also open to vintage or sentimental design inspiration in the style of Ruinette. While I admire bench jewelers’ skills, what I do not do is recreate just any design you see.
What then? After le kickoff…
- I’ll create a drawing or drawings
- We’ll adjust the design based on your feedback.
- Upon design approval and before production, you issue payment in full.
- I’ll source stones and make the piece
- I’ll ship it to you when it’s ready !
We love to recycle
We can work with that! I am happy to recycle your gold for credit toward a purchase or melt down heirloom gold to make something new.
On a case-by-case basis, I take on heirloom stone projects (typically sapphires and diamonds). It’s important to discuss and take a good look at your pieces before committing to the work.
Custom Creations
I love to bring custom pieces to life. Here are some of my favorite past projects. Reach out to chat about a custom Ruinette piece of your own.

A charm bracelet for Cindy
"I really wanted to thank you for the bracelet, and for the time and care you put into making it. It's absolutely beautiful and truly shows how talented you are. It means so much to me — it's honestly one of the most precious things I have.
Thank you so, so much 💛"
