BESPOKE & BRIDAL

Bring your vision to life

From custom engagement rings to recreating a family heirloom, bespoke and bridal are a natural extension of Retrouvaí

The Bespoke Process

Concept & Collaboration

After our initial period of information gathering, a clear direction and budget will be established. Where desired, we source diamonds and colored gemstones and can provide options and consultation. 

Sketching & Design

Some projects involve sketches. For projects where we are resetting or recreating an existing design, we move straight to the rendering process. For all bespoke pieces we do 3D renderings and where it is applicable, we also send photos of a wax model of your piece to give the best indication of proportion. 

Production

Your bespoke piece will be hand crafted in Los Angeles. Most bespoke projects take about 8-10 weeks.

"THE BEAUTY OF FINE JEWELRY IS THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING TO LEAVE BEHIND AND PASS ON TO FUTURE GENERATIONS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT HAS TO STAY THE SAME FOREVER. JEWELRY IS MEANT TO BE LOVED AND IF IT’S FOSSILIZING IN YOUR JEWELRY BOX, YOU SHOULD RECREATE IT INTO SOMETHING YOU LOVE AGAIN.”

-Founder & Designer, Kirsty Stone

Have questions about our bespoke process?

How do I get started? 

Send us an email! Tell us what this piece will be to you- perhaps an engagement ring or maybe you're looking to repurpose heirloom stones in to something we have already designed. The more details the better as we get a sense for you and develop a clear direction for your new piece. 

How does the bespoke process work?

After our initial period of information gathering, a clear direction and budget will be established. Where desired, we source diamonds and colored gemstones and can provide options and consultation. Some projects involve sketches. For projects where we are resetting or recreating an existing design, we move straight to the rendering process. For all bespoke pieces we do 3D renderings and where it is applicable, we also send photos of a wax model of your piece to give the best indication of proportion. From here we begin the production process. All pieces are crafted locally in Los Angeles. Appraisals are offered through a third party laboratory if desired.

How long does a bespoke project take?

Most bespoke projects have a turnaround of about 8-10 weeks give or take. Some projects can be completed sooner and some take longer depending on complexity and our currently queue. 

What kinds of projects can I do?

We make jewelry with purpose. Tell us about what is happening in life, we'd love to make you something to commemorate this special moment. We also love to customize pieces in our existing collections. 

Can I use my own heirloom stones?

We are picky when it comes to stone selection and cutting with our own sourced gemstones. With that said, we love working with heirloom family stones. We are happy to discuss feasibility based on your photos and once a gemstone is in our hands we can further assess. We do offer polishing and recutting services for stones that are damaged or broken (where possible).

What is the cost range?

We are able to give you ballpark costs for all pieces we have previously produced upon request. For completely custom pieces, we can give you a budget once a clear direction is established. If we are resetting an heirloom stone, we can only give a final budget once we have either the exact stone dimensions or the stone in our possession to determine this ourselves.
