Bespoke is an exchange between client and designer. Each piece begins differently - a stone, a reference, an idea - and takes shape through an ongoing exchange between client and designer.
The result is distinctly Karina Noel, but entirely your own.
Start by filling out our inquiry form. Once reviewed by our team, we will set up an initial virtual consultation with Karina to discuss your design and stone preferences.
At this stage, we will share resources to address important stone and design considerations including inspiration images, budget, and metal options.
In this phase, you and Karina will review a carefully curated selection of stones and sample settings, as well as establish the initial design guidelines for your piece.
This meeting can take place in-person or virtually. Once a stone and general design direction is decided, the specific details of your project will be incorporated into a formal proposal. Signing the proposal signifies a commitment to your chosen stone and initiates the design phase of our bespoke piece.
During design development, we take a 3-D scan of your stone and employ computer modeling to present you with an initial round of design renderings.
We make collaborative modifications as needed until we achieve the final design. Following your design approval, we print physical, plastic prototypes of your piece for you to view and put into fabrication.
The design development process typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Your jewelry is handcrafted by our master jewelers in NYC and carefully inspected before leaving the studio. Your finished piece can be collected in person or shipped fully insured.
