Beautiful custom-design jewelry is an expression of the wearer's personality, lifestyle and taste. Creation of such jewelry requires close collaboration between you and your designer. Beyond that, three elements are essential to the creation of a pleasing and high-quality item of custom-designed jewelry: the Design, the Materials and the Craftsmanship.

1. QUALITY DESIGN

The design must reflect your personal taste and lifestyle. Your designer must be able to interpret and enhance your ideas, yet remain true to your imaginative, personal design. Be wary of the "designer" who only dilutes your concept, either by insisting (incorrectly) that he or she "knows exactly what you need" or by working from a catalog of tired commercial designs.

Galatea prides herself on the experience, creativity, listening skills, attention to detail, and sense of style she brings into her design work with every customer, with the objective of bringing your wishes and ideas to life as unique, wearable works of art.

2. QUALITY MATERIALS

Proper selection of quality stones and materials is critical to the lasting beauty and value of your custom-designed jewelry. Galatea Designs will ensure that the precious metals, diamonds or other gemstones used in the piece created for you are of the highest quality and best value possible, while remaining within your budget.
