Your Questions, Answered
-
Yes. I can design a custom piece starting from a concept, reference images, or an existing jewel to reinterpret. Share your idea, preferred materials, budget range, and deadline — then I’ll confirm feasibility and propose a direction (sketch/3D concept) before production. Most commissions land between €3,000 and €6,000: see “What does a commission cost?” below.

My workflow combines 3D design with craft finishing. I develop the piece digitally (CAD/3D), then it’s produced and finished with traditional techniques depending on the project and materials. The result is a piece designed with precision, refined by hand.
-
Yes. I can work with precious metals and stones depending on the project—alongside experimental materials when the concept requires it. If you have specific requests (e.g., a particular stone, recycled metal, or lab-grown options), mention it and I’ll suggest the best route.
-
Timelines vary based on complexity, materials, and the production method. As a general rule, a custom project takes a few weeks from brief to finished piece. If you have a fixed date, tell me upfront—I’ll confirm what’s realistic and propose the fastest option.

Email me at mantovani.jewels@gmail.com, or send a DM on Instagram. For a quick reply, include three things: what you have in mind (a short description, references or inspiration, preferred materials), your budget range (up to €1,500 · €1,500–3,000 · €3,000–6,000 · over €6,000), and when you need it. I’m open to collaborations with brands, designers, and creative studios.

It depends on the metal, the stones and the complexity — but so you have a reference: smaller pieces start at around €1,500, and most commissions land between €3,000 and €6,000. Pieces with a significant centre stone go above that. I quote the finished piece before anything is made, so you see the number before you decide. Tell me your budget range up front and I’ll tell you honestly what’s possible within it — including when the answer is “not this, but this would work.”
