Creating Custom Jewellery
First Appointment
Design Consultation
The process to an amazing piece of jewellery created by Matt begins with a personalised design consultation (free of charge) in our Coffs Harbour studio.
This typically takes up to an hour, if you have an idea in mind, it is recommended that you bring along any images that capture your imagination. However if you are unsure, that's fine too.
Similarly, if you have any existing pieces of jewellery that you would like to use for materials, it is important to also bring these with you on the day.
The Process
Options & Sketches
Matt will discuss a range of aspects with you from aesthetic preferences, sentimental or emotional influences to lifestyle or occupational considerations.
He will then consider structural integrity into the mix and begin to formulate design options.
Usually he will begin with a hand drawn sketch, and then later may create a digital design to assist with finalising the design and quoting.
The Creation
Time Frames
Once the design and quote have been agreed upon a 50% deposit is required for materials to be ordered and / or work to begin.
Time frames can vary so it is important to discuss this at the time of your consultation.
It is recommended that you allow 4-6 weeks for most custom jewellery commissions.
“After finding a bag of old jewellery and having no idea what to do with it, I visited Matt and WOW! Matt is a wiz at what he does and I trusted him to use his skills to make me something amazing. Thanks Matt and your team.
”
“I will definitely be recommending Matt Loretan Jewellery to everyone! Matt made me a ring with my sons name from my old jewellery. I gave him a description of what I wanted and showed him a ring that was similar, my ring turned out even better than I hoped, I am so happy with it.
”
“Very clever, broad range of expertise, Matt has repaired lots of my jewellery and made me a necklace from a bracket, which was lovely. I would recommend Matt to anybody.
