THE IMPORTANCE OF...
Communication in Custom Jewelry Design
The success of custom jewelry design hinges not only on the skills of the metalsmith but also on thorough and precise discussions of the design details.
At Alara, Babs or Chantell play a crucial role in communicating with the featured designer that will be creating your piece. They ensure that the designer's strengths and aesthetic are harnessed to create something truly unique and exclusive. This collaborative approach guarantees that every detail is considered, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects both the customer's vision and the designer's artistry.
YOU ARE PART OF THE DESIGN!
ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE in the Design Process
Customers have the exciting opportunity to be directly involved in the design process. Alara's commitment to originality and respect for other designers' work means that they focus on leveraging the beauty and creativity of their featured artisans.
The process typically begins with a discussion between the customer, Babs or Chantell, and then progresses with the designer working on behalf of the customer. This collaborative effort ensures that the final piece is a perfect blend of the customer's vision and the designer's craftsmanship.
PERSONALIZE
GEM SELECTION & CUSTOM DESIGN
One of the standout features of Alara's Collaborative Jewelry Design service is the ability for customers to actively participate in the design process.
Babs or Chantell help customers explore various gem options, such as Montana sapphires, Yogo sapphires, or diamonds, to be used in a custom design. And unlike many jewelers, Alara welcomes you to bring your own diamond and gems "to the design table," thereby upcycling your unworn gems.
This hands-on approach allows customers to make informed decisions about their gem palette and overall design, ensuring a personalized and meaningful piece of jewelry.
