HOW IT WORKS
The Process
Custom Jewellery manufacturing by Eckart Johannes Schillings.
Getting a piece of personalised Fine Jewellery made usually starts with an initial free Sonsultation at the Goldsmith's Studio in Cleveland, Qld 4163, Australia.
All work is personally done 'In House'.
STEP BY STEP
From the first Sketch
to the finished Treasure.
01
First Consultation
Getting a piece of personalised Fine Jewellery made usually starts with an initial free Consultation.
You make an Appointment to meet Eckart Johannes at his
Studio / Showroom in Cleveland, Qld 4163.
The first Meeting is to get to know each other and discuss whatyou have in mind.
This is a no pressure Meeting to explore what you really want,
how it could be made and what the next Steps will be.
It involves some quick sketching to narrow down your Design Ideas.
02
Detailed written Quotations
After your first Appointment you will receive a detailed written
Quotation covering material Costs, manufacturing Costs and, if there are Diamonds or Gemstones to be set, separate setting Charges.
This helps you understand what is actually involved
in creating your jewellery.
Quotes are usually provided within a week.
All work is always done personally and 'In House'.
03
Technical Drawings
Usually after the first rough Sketch, a much more precise
technical Drawing is provided.
This Drawing is the basis for more fine-tuning until you are 100% happy with the Design.
This takes about 10 working Days.
From there we discuss the finer Details
and change the Drawings
until it is absolutely perfect for you!
04
3D Wax models or Silver mock ups
To make sure there are no misunderstandings,
the next Step is the creation of a precise 3D Model.
The 3D Model can be made in Jeweller's Wax
or sometimes a Silver mock up will be fabricated.
This will take about two or three Weeks to produce.
All this is done for your Peace of Mind!
You know exactly what your finished Gold Jewellery will look like.
No Mistakes possible!
05
Sourcing Diamonds and Gemstones
If there are Gemstones or Diamonds involved,
they need to be sourced for you
or can be purchased from the existing Stone Collection
available at the Studio.
Often Diamonds need to be sourced and imported
from the main Diamond Centres overseas.
Many more Choices compared
to what is available within Australia...
It takes about three weeks for imported Diamonds
to arrive at the Studio.
06
Hand Fabrication
Getting custom made Jewellery created for you
is a really exciting Journey!
There will be a number of further Meetings
to see how the Jewellery progressing and do some Adjustments!
You as the Client have full control over the complete design Process.
Any changes required are put in place
before the final Jewellery is fully completed.
07
Valuation Documents and aftercare
Eckart Johannes Schillings
provides a free Valuation Document
for any new piece of Jewellery with a Value of over $4,000
for insurance Purposes.
Once you have received your new Jewellery,
you can bring it in for a yearly Inspection
and Cleaning — This is a Free Service by your Goldsmith.
