YOUR STORY, OUR HANDS

Designed for You, Crafted by Us

Commissioning a custom piece is a deeply personal journey—and we're honored to be part of it. To ensure we can dedicate the time and artistry your vision deserves, here's what to know before we begin:

  • Custom commissions require a non-refundable design retainer to begin. Amount is based on project scope and complexity.
  • All custom pieces are final sale—no returns, exchanges, or refunds under any circumstances
  • Timeline: Approximately 6-10 weeks from retainer to delivery
  • Pricing may adjust due to market fluctuations in gold and materials
FROM CONCEPTION TO CREATION

Discover How We Create Your Custom Jewelry Masterpiece

We're excited to hear your vision. Complete our inquiry form below with your ideas, inspiration images, and any details that bring your dream piece to life. Our team will review your submission and be in touch within 3-5 business days to discuss next steps.

Based on your request, we'll guide you down one of two paths:

Fully Custom Commission
For one-of-a-kind designs created from scratch, we require a non-refundable design retainer to initiate the creative process. The retainer amount is determined based on the scope and complexity of your piece and will be communicated to you before we begin. This retainer is applied toward your final investment.

Minor Modifications
If you're using one of our existing designs as a base and simply need small adjustments—like a personalized inscription, sizing change, or subtle refinement—we collect full payment upfront and move directly into production for a streamlined experience.

Not sure which path is right for you? We'll guide you after reviewing your inquiry.

Once your retainer is received, the creative journey begins. We'll craft an initial design mockup that captures your vision, giving you a first look at the aesthetic direction before we refine the details.

This phase is a collaboration. We include two complimentary revisions to perfect your concept. Additional revisions are available for a fee, payable before we proceed.

Once the design feels right, we'll provide final pricing based on your confirmed specifications. Keep in mind that adjustments during this phase may affect the investment—and simplifying a design doesn't always reduce the cost, as every iteration involves artistry and care.

Once you approve your design and accept final pricing, the remaining balance is due in full before we continue.

From there, we prepare a technical design mockup outlining the precise details of your piece—exact dimensions, materials, stone placements, and any engravings or personalization.

This is your final moment to review every detail before we begin bringing your piece to life. Please confirm all specifications carefully—especially sizing and inscriptions—as we cannot be held responsible for errors in the information provided.

Once approved, production begins immediately and no further modifications can be made.

This is where the magic happens. Our artisans meticulously handcraft your piece with the care, precision, and attention to detail it deserves. Production typically takes 3-4 weeks, and we'll keep you informed along the way.

Estimated Timeline:
Design Development: 2-4 weeks
Technical Design: 1-2 weeks
Production: 3-4 weeks
Total: Approximately 6-10 weeks

Due to the bespoke nature of custom work, fluctuations in gold or material prices may occur during your timeline. If any adjustments are needed, we'll share a revised quote before proceeding—you'll always have the choice to move forward or step back (subject to forfeiture of retainer and payments made).

We want your custom experience to feel effortless and inspiring. To ensure we're aligned from the start, please note:

  • Your design retainer is non-refundable—it allows us to dedicate focused time, creativity, and resources to your piece from day one
  • All custom commissions are final sale—your piece is designed and crafted exclusively for you, which means we're unable to accept returns, exchanges, or refunds
  • Post-production changes are not possible—if you envision something different after delivery, we'd be honored to begin a new commission with you
  • Quotes are valid for 14 days—pricing may be revised thereafter based on current material costs
  • Communication is key—delays or unresponsiveness may result in pricing adjustments or order cancellation with forfeiture of payments
  • All approvals must be confirmed in writing (email is perfect)

By submitting an inquiry, you confirm that you've reviewed and agree to our custom order policy.

COMMISSIONING YOUR PIECE

Frequently Asked Questions

More FAQ

What's the difference between a fully custom commission and a minor modification?

A fully custom commission is an entirely new design—something we create from scratch just for you. A minor modification is a small tweak to an existing Modern Mangal piece, like adding an inscription or adjusting the length. We'll let you know which category your request falls into after reviewing your inquiry.

Why is the retainer non-refundable?

The moment we receive your retainer, our team begins dedicating time, creativity, and resources to your piece—from consultations to designing resources to sourcing materials. The retainer ensures we can commit fully to your vision.

How is the retainer amount determined?

Your retainer is based on the scope and complexity of your custom piece. More intricate designs—such as South Indian styles or pieces with significant detail—require a higher retainer to reflect the additional artistry and time involved. We'll communicate your retainer amount before you commit.

How long does the entire process take?

From initial inquiry to delivery, expect approximately 6-10 weeks for fully custom commissions. Minor modifications to existing designs typically have a shorter turnaround since we skip the design development phase.

Can I make changes after production starts?

Once production begins, your piece is being crafted to your exact specifications and cannot be modified. That's why we build in revision phases beforehand—so you're completely confident before we begin crafting.

What if I'm not satisfied with the final piece?

We encourage you to use the design and revision phases to ensure every detail is perfect. Because each piece is made exclusively for you, all sales are final—but we're with you every step of the way to make sure you love what we create together.

What if material prices change?

Gold and gemstone prices fluctuate. If there's a significant shift during your timeline, we'll provide an updated quote and give you the option to proceed or cancel (with forfeiture of payments made).

Can I request specific stones or materials?

Absolutely. We work with 18K solid gold, lab-grown diamonds, natural diamonds, and precious gemstones. If you have specific preferences—such as a particular diamond grade, certification, or gemstone—let us know in your inquiry.

Can I modify an existing Modern Mangal design?

Yes! If you love one of our existing pieces but want small adjustments, this falls under our minor modifications process. Full payment is collected upfront and we move directly to production.

Do you ship custom pieces internationally?

Yes, we ship worldwide. International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees. Please note that all custom and international orders are final sale.
