Frequently Asked Questions

Which type of piece is right for me: Ready to Ship, Made to Order, or Custom?

Ready to Ship
These pieces are already made and will ship within 2-3 business days. Most Ready to Ship items are one-of-a-kind. What you see is exactly what you’ll receive, making this a great option for gifts or to add to your collection. Most Ready to Ship rings can be resized up or down about one full size. If you have questions about sizing of a particular piece, reach out!

Made to Order
These designs are part of our core collection. Each piece is individually hand-crafted so adjustments to stone type, metal quality and finish can be made, resulting in jewelry that is unique and personal. Production for Made to Order items typically takes 2-3 weeks.

Custom
Custom pieces are one-of-a-kind designs created in collaboration with you. This could include reimagining an existing heirloom, sourcing specific gemstones, or developing a completely new piece. Custom projects require a consultation and a longer timeline, as each detail is thoughtfully considered from concept to final polish.

No matter which option you choose, each piece is hand-fabricated with care, intention, and lasting quality.

How do you source your stones?

I source my stones from a combination of reputable dealers in Los Angeles, local suppliers I meet in my travels, and vintage pieces I pick up along the way. Whenever possible I work with traceable and ethically-mined stones.

Additionally, many of my clients will come to me with their own stones–like antique heirlooms or gifted pieces that have gone out of style–that they want repurposed into something new and timeless.

What metals do you work with?

My pieces are an investment meant to last a lifetime and be passed down to future generations. Therefore, I believe the best material to work with is high-karat gold. I work primarily in 14kt, 18kt and 22kt gold (yellow or white).

If you have a preference, please contact me at hello@studiomari.co and we can create something custom for you.
