How long does a custom order take?
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the design and whether gemstones need to be sourced.
Once your design is approved and all stones are secured, production and finishing typically take 4–6 weeks. The initial design and sourcing phases are additional, and I'll provide a more specific timeline as we discuss your project.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
All Lovely Sunday sales are final.
Each piece is thoughtfully designed and produced specifically for its client, requiring dedicated time, materials, and craftsmanship. For this reason, I do not accept returns or exchanges.
If you experience an issue with your order, please reach out so we can discuss the best way to address it.
Do you work with customers outside of New York?
Do you work with customers outside of New York?
Absolutely! I work with clients throughout the United States and internationally.
The design process can be completed remotely, and finished pieces can be shipped domestically or internationally. International customers are responsible for any applicable customs duties, taxes, or import fees.
Can you work with gemstones I already own?
Can you work with gemstones I already own?
Absolutely! I love the opportunity to give heirloom and sentimental gemstones a new home.
All customer-provided stones must be evaluated for condition and suitability before being accepted for resetting. While every precaution is taken during the process, working with previously set gemstones carries inherent risks, including potential damage or breakage. For this reason, Lovely Sunday cannot guarantee against damage to customer-provided stones during removal, setting, or production.
We'll discuss these considerations together before moving forward.
Can you source gemstones for my design?
Can you source gemstones for my design?
Yes! Gemstone sourcing is one of my favorite parts of the process.
I work with trusted suppliers to find stones that fit your vision, preferences, and budget. Whether you're looking for a particular color, cut, or something a little unexpected, I'll present options and help you find the right stone for your piece.
What materials do you use?
What materials do you use?
My fine jewelry designs are crafted primarily in solid 14k yellow gold, sterling silver, and precious gemstones. I love working with colorful sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other stones with character, as well as diamonds.
Depending on the design, I can also explore other precious metals, finishes, and gemstone options.
How do I care for my solid gold and sterling silver jewelry?
How do I care for my solid gold and sterling silver jewelry?
Solid Gold:
- Solid gold is durable and tarnish-resistant, making it ideal for everyday wear.
- To maintain its shine, gently clean your gold jewelry with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface.
- Store gold pieces in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches from other jewelry.
Sterling Silver:
- Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time, but regular wear can help slow this process.
- To clean tarnished silver, use a jewelry polishing cloth or a mixture of warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush.
- Avoid exposing silver to harsh chemicals (e.g., chlorine, perfumes, and household cleaners) as they can accelerate tarnishing.
- Store silver jewelry in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch to reduce exposure to air and humidity.
With proper care, your solid gold and sterling silver jewelry will remain timeless treasures for years to come!

Can we meet in person?
Depending on location and availability, I'm happy to arrange an in-person consultation or pickup in the Beacon area or New York City. I do not have a private studio space, but frequently meet up with clients at public locations that work for us both.
Most of the custom design process can also be completed virtually through email, virtual calls, and digital design previews.
