Let’s Make Magic: Your Custom Jewelry Experience

At Gold Dust Tacoma, your custom jewelry should be a story, an experience, and a collaboration. Here’s exactly what to expect from start to finish, so you feel confident, supported, and excited every step of the way.

This quick call gives us a chance to understand your vision, materials, timeline, and budget and make sure we’re the right fit.

If we’re moving forward together, the next step is reserving your in-studio design appointment.

Your deposit secures your design appointment and places your project in our workflow.
It is nonrefundable and applied to your final project total.

This is where creativity happens!
We’ll talk shapes, textures, metals, measurements, heirloom materials (if applicable), and stones.

We’ll sketch, try on samples, look at finishes, and refine the direction of your design.

If your project involves gems, we’ll review stones together, like Montana sapphires, antique diamonds, unique cuts…you name it! We work with partners like Columbia Gem House and Misfit Diamonds to ensure that your gem choices are ethical and exactly what you want for your piece.

We’ll meet again to look at 3D renderings or wax models.
This is where we confirm proportions, shapes, and final details before casting.

Small adjustments are made here if needed.

Your piece is carved, cast in recycled precious metal, lovingly refined, and set with precision.
This step usually takes 8–12 weeks depending on the season and complexity.

You’ll receive updates at meaningful milestones, enough to be exciting but not overwhelming!

This is the best part.
We’ll walk you through care instructions, insurance recommendations, and a cleaning schedule to keep your piece sparkling for generations.

We can wrap it up beautifully for you to give to a loved one or keep safe.
