At Nelly Creative Studios, each bespoke creation begins with a conversation, a meeting of creativity and craft
Each detail is meticulously finished and each stone is selected by Nelly. Each piece is crafted in New York City
01 — Consultation: a meeting of worlds where we discuss what is in your mind, what story you would like to say with the piece, what materials inspire you
Imagination is where it begins but we put it into the physical dimension
An initial consultation will consist of any inspiration images, sketches or stories you have. Before speaking we will review all of this information
There is no budget too small or too big; we work with small custom projects to the high custom design with rare stones and more complex designs requiring more time and resources
02 — Sketch and Design Delivery: After the initial consult, we are ready for a sketch and then once the design has been established a hand gouache rendering — an old technique with watercolor, bringing to life the design
And a deposit of 50% the total cost of the project is due once you are happy with the design intent
03 — Stone Selection: If your design requires any color stones or center stones this is when the stones will be sourced and selected from a wide range of suppliers as required. If any review is needed on your end we will meet over video or in our studio
04 — Atelier Work: Once all materials have been sourced and the idea is clear, savoir-faire will turn the design into a reality. Every curve is meticulously done, every stone is delicately set and every surface carefully finished
05 — Creation: The wait is over — after many many hours of work
