A custom piece begins with how it will be worn as well as how it looks. At Vale, a design conversation turns a folder of images into a clear written brief.
We connect design choices to material descriptions.
We discuss proportion, setting, metal and stone within your budget. Material descriptions, grading documentation, approval stages and the arrangements for sizing and ongoing care are written into the brief.
