The bench path

  1. 01

    Symbol and reference

    Yao reviews the symbol, photograph, drawing, or personal reference and how the pendant will be worn.

  2. 02

    Metal-ready direction

    The idea is translated into an original pendant direction built for metal instead of a quick graphic copy.

  3. 03

    Custom build

    The approved pendant moves through the bench work its construction requires.

  4. 04

    Wearable finish

    The final piece is finished around the agreed proportion and wearing direction.

Questions before the bench

Can you work from a logo or symbol?

A symbol or reference can guide an original custom build. Yao does not promise automatic copies of protected branding.

What helps define a pendant?

A photograph or drawing, intended wear, scale, and the details that matter most help set the direction.

How is precious-metal work priced?

Precious-metal work is evaluated for the actual pendant and quoted per project after the construction is understood.

Complicated work may need a conversation before an order is created. That keeps the scope tied to the actual piece.
