Custom jewlery at Fiat Lux falls into two buckets here:
Bespoke-ish
Bespoke
Both require a $1500 non-refundable deposit that commits us to working with you from start to finish & beyond. Pricing is laid out clearly based on each option we present throughout the design process. The final cost of the piece is based on the chosen design, details, and stones (if any). Once the custom piece(s) is completed, the remainder of the balance is due.
Bespoke-ish Projects on average take 6-8 weeks and Bespoke Projects on average take 8-12 weeks. If you have a rush, let’s talk!
And yes, we can work with your stone in certain situations but we typically do not repurpose your metal. Keep scrolling to learn more about using heirloom stones.

bespoke-ish
Bespoke-ish is where you get to choose your own stones for an existing Fiat Lux design (see list of styles below or click here to see even more examples & available loose stones and one-of-a-kind rings).
Maybe you’re looking for a specific precious gem & want us to source one for you; or you have an heirloom stone you’d like to use; or you have fine jewelry you don’t wear anymore (hello pairless earring turned Third Eye).
It’s always a good idea to start with a transparent idea of your budgets and parameters for the project, that way we can be on the same page with respect to expectations.

Fiat Lux Designs Available for Bespoke-Ish
Our classic Phoebe, so beloved because of how her hard exterior frames a softened center, cradling a pear cut precious stone of your choice, surrounded by white diamond pavé, a highclass spaceship engagement ring to travel through the Borealis particles.

The sky’s the limit, almost. With Bespoke Projects, we’ll work with you to design a completely new piece of jewelry. If you have an idea already in mind or like elements from multiple pieces of ours, this is for you!
We’ll have a few rounds of back & forth on the design, at least one wax model of the design that we settle on, you get to choose from stones we source for you. The wax will either be hand carved or printed from a CAD (depending on what works best for the design) to share with you what shape the metal will take of our agreed upon design. We check in all along the way to make sure that the final result is spectacular and what you envisioned.
It’s always a good idea to start with a transparent idea of your budgets and parameters for the project, that way we can be on the same page with respect to expectations. Please keep in mind that we will not copy another designer’s work, so let’s work together on a unique piece just for you!
