Custom jewelry
Starting point
Bring what you have.
- Photograph
- Drawing
- Old piece
- Wrong size
- Idea that is hard to find
How it works
- 01
Show your idea
Send a photo, drawing, or description. Tell Yao what you like, what you would change, and how you want the piece to fit.
- 02
Work out the design
Discuss the size, shape, materials, and construction before the piece is made. References help explain your idea; they are not a promise to copy another design.
- 03
Make the piece
Once the design and price are agreed, Yao makes the piece and handles the metalwork your project needs.
- 04
Finish
Cleanup and polishing bring the piece to the finish you agreed on.

Before you order
What can I start with?
A photograph, drawing, old piece, wrong-size item, or clear idea can start the conversation. Reference-based work becomes an original custom build guided by what you bring, not an automatic copy of protected branding.
How are private references handled?
Your photos and references stay private. Sharing them for a project does not give permission to publish them.
How is precious-metal work priced?
Each piece is quoted individually. The metal, size, design, and work involved determine the price.
Tell Yao what you have in mind. You'll agree on the work, price, and timing before placing an order.
