After choosing gems and a design direction, I will usually carve, or otherwise create, a wax-model prototype for your inspection. With the three-dimensional wax prototype, you will be able to really get a feel for the object we are making. In addition, I can normally mount any gems we are using in the wax model so you can actually see how they will work in the design. The first viewing may result in approval of the design. Often, however, I will get close but not exactly what you have visualized. At that point your honest feedback will help me revise the wax to better suit your vision. We will go through this feedback loop as many times as it takes to arrive at the final revision. My flat design and production fee essentially buys as much time as it takes to make it right for you. Upon approval of the design, through the magic of the lost-wax casting process, the final wax revision actually becomes the finished metal object. What you see in the wax is truly what you get in the finished project.
