Custom Jewelry Design Process

Owner and designer Amy Certilman has built a custom jewelry process that is as personal as the pieces it produces. Before anything is designed or made, Amy speaks directly with every client — listening carefully to understand their vision, their story, and their budget. The result is jewelry that feels exactly right, because it was made exactly for you.

The process is straightforward, collaborative, and enjoyable from start to finish.

Step 1: Initial Contact

Reach out via the contact form, email info@theperfectsetting.com, or call directly at 516-422-1220. Amy or a member of the team will respond promptly to give you a general overview and schedule your complimentary initial consultation — at no cost and no obligation.

Step 2: Consultation

During the consultation, Amy discusses your vision in detail — diamond or gemstone preferences, setting styles, metal choices, and the overall scope of the project. A budget estimate is provided upfront so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. There are no surprises.

Step 3: Design & Approval

Once the project is underway, Amy creates a detailed sketch or custom CAD (3D computer rendering) of your piece for your review. Nothing ever goes into production without your explicit approval — ever. You'll have the opportunity to review, refine, and approve every detail before fabrication begins.

Step 4: Production & Delivery

With your approval confirmed, your jewelry enters production. Stones are sourced and set, metalwork is completed, and every piece undergoes a thorough quality inspection before it leaves the studio. Your finished piece is delivered via FedEx, fully insured, directly to your door — wherever you are in the country.

Work With Us From Anywhere

The majority of The Perfect Setting's clients work with Amy remotely. Every step of the process — consultation, design review, approvals, and delivery — can be completed entirely online or by phone. Distance is never a barrier to creating something extraordinary.
