## Step-by-Step Order Process

1.  **Step 1 — Initial Consultation (Week 1)**
    
    We meet at our Ontario studio by appointment. Bring inspiration images, existing jewelry, your ring size if known, and a clear budget range. We’ll discuss design direction, material options, and diamond parameters.
    
    **What to bring:** Inspiration images (Pinterest, screenshots, clippings) · Existing jewelry to incorporate or redesign · Ring size (we can measure in studio) · Budget range · Important date if applicable
    
2.  **Step 2 — Design Development & Diamond Selection (Week 1–3)**
    
    We present 2–3 design concepts based on your brief. You’ll review IGI certified lab-grown diamonds in person or via detailed certificate data — selecting cut, carat, colour, and clarity. We refine the design through collaborative revision until you’re fully satisfied.
    
    **Deliverables:** Concept sketches · CAD rendering and 3D model · Diamond shortlist with IGI certificates · Detailed material quote
    
3.  **Step 3 — Design Approval & Deposit (Week 2–4)**
    
    Once you approve the final CAD rendering and quote, we issue a formal order confirmation. A **50% deposit** is required to begin fabrication. We accept credit card, debit, and e-transfer.
    
    **Order confirmation includes:** Final design rendering · Itemized quote (materials + labour + design) · Production timeline · Deposit invoice
    
4.  **Step 4 — Fabrication (Week 4–8)**
    
    Your piece is handcrafted in our Ontario studio. We use solid 14K or 18K gold (never plated) and your selected IGI certified diamond. Multiple quality checkpoints occur throughout fabrication — we’ll send progress updates at key milestones.
    
    **Fabrication stages:** Metal casting or fabrication · Shaping and forming · Stone setting by certified jeweler · Polishing and finishing · Engraving (if applicable)
    
5.  **Step 5 — Quality Inspection (Week 8–9)**
    
    Every bespoke piece undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection before delivery: prong integrity, setting security, surface finish, structural integrity, and dimensional accuracy against the approved design.
    
    **Inspection checklist:** Prong tightness and alignment · Stone security (no movement) · Surface finish (no scratches, pits) · Clasp or closure function · Weight and dimension verification
    
6.  **Step 6 — Delivery & Documentation (Week 9–10)**
    
    Your completed piece is delivered with full documentation. The remaining **50% balance** is due before shipping or pickup. In-studio pickup or fully insured shipping available across Canada.
    
    **Included with every bespoke piece:** IGI certificate for your diamond · DEEVE packaging · Lifetime warranty documentation · Care instructions · Order record for insurance purposes

### What gold options are available?

Solid 14K or 18K gold in yellow, white (rhodium finished), or rose gold. Never plated, filled, or vermeil. [See our 14K vs 18K comparison →](/pages/14k-vs-18k-gold)

### Can I use my own diamond or existing jewelry?

Yes. Bring your piece to the consultation. We’ll evaluate the stones and metals for quality and suitability, then discuss redesign options.

### Do bespoke pieces come with a warranty?

Yes. All bespoke pieces are covered by DEEVE’s [lifetime warranty](/pages/warranty-commitment) covering manufacturing defects, setting integrity, and craftsmanship.

### Can I make changes after design approval?

Minor changes may be possible before fabrication begins. Once fabrication starts, changes are limited. We work through multiple revisions before approval specifically to avoid this — take your time reviewing the CAD before signing off.
