CUSTOM JEWELRY
Design consultation for custom work is offered free of charge. Once a design direction is determined and a quote is established, a 50% deposit will be required before starting production. CAD/CAM services are considered production. Changes to the design, once production has started, may require additional charges. Changes in the design of the finished piece will be charged based on materials and labor costs.
By placing an order for a custom piece, you acknowledge and accept that our work is crafted individually, and therefore, variations may arise due to the artist’s interpretation or professional expertise. These variations are possible at any stage during the production process.
APPRAISAL – CUSTOM JEWELRY
For pieces that have a value over $2,000, and Hutcherson Goldsmithing provides all materials, a complimentary appraisal will be provided to you. By request, if we use your materials to create jewelry, we can obtain a 3rd party appraisal for an additional fee.
EXCHANGES AND RETURNS – custom jewelry
Custom orders are non-refundable. We want to ensure that you are happy with your specially designed piece, and we will communicate through computer renderings, 3D prints, and/or pictures to achieve this. If you are not satisfied with the finished product, we may be able to make changes to the finished piece. There may be additional charges associated with changes. Please inform us within 7 days if changes are required.
WARRANTY
If there is a defect in the craftsmanship, we will repair the defect free of charge within 2 years of purchase. Jewelry requires maintenance, and we require that you bring it in for inspection 6 months from purchase, then every 6-12 months after the first inspection. We will inspect and clean your jewelry created by us, free of charge, throughout its lifetime.
Repairs on damages determined to be caused by intentional or unintentional misuse, abuse, normal wear, accidents of nature, criminal acts, and/or alien invasions will require standard repair charges. This warranty will be rendered void if any other jeweler is involved in the modification or alteration of said piece(s).
