Quality
The factory that will manufacture your
special custom-made jewelry items is the same factory that
manufactures our beautiful ring, necklace, bracelet, and pendant
collections--so you will receive the same high quality jewelry
that we sell everyday. You may review literally hundreds of current
examples of our extraordinary quality at Shavonne.com.
Design
Process
Our manufacturing factory has a full design
department, complete with the ability to produce virtually
rendered (VR) images of design prototypes.
Our factory's design department can develop a product using
your input. There are two ways to do this:
You can provide a physical sample of what you need.
We can either make an exact copy of it or we can make
certain modifications if necesary.
You can provide black-and-white drawings
or virtual images that will be used to help create your
design.
The average manufacturing fee of $200 is NOT a prepayment. Only the initial quantity - or approximate quantity - is to be determined at this time. As you will now read, there are normally 15 steps and processes to be completed in order to manufacture your item to the highest possible quality. This fee encompasses a great deal beginning with the initial consultation and/or preliminary editing of your original renderings by Mr. Donald Gist, president of Shavonne. He brings forth a
55
year background of extraordinary knowledge and excellence. Upon your careful approval of any editing changes, the "approved" rendering will then be forwarded to the factory design department. The design engineer will then create an original virtual rendering ("VR") for your approval. This "VR" will show you in detail what your new item will look like. You will be able to view your new creation from several angles for clarity.
The computer also will generate (a) The approximate dimensions in millimeters. (b) The approximate weight in grams. In the rare instance when further editing is necessary, it is to be done at this stage. Then the "VR" process is re-created one additional time at no additional cost. Upon your final approval of the "VR," we will be able to determine the manufacturing cost for your item. Upon your approval of the price, the $200 fee is required by check or credit card. If, at this point, you are unable to complete the manufacturing process, a $100 fee for all the foregoing processes is hereby agreed to by you.
The design department will then create the model, the mold, and cast 3 pieces. These 3 pieces will then be processed through all our factories confidential procedures to prepare the castings for electroplating. After electroplating, the factory will finally have created 3 original items. The factory will retain 1 finished piece, we will retain one sample at Shavonne, and you will receive the final finished item.
Upon your final approval - the order will be generated. 50% of the agreed upon price is now due and payable. The order will be forwarded to the factory upon receipt of the initial 50% prepayment. The balance will be due upon shipment of the remainder. If a partial shipment is required by the factory, then the payment would be equal to the amount of the partial shipment only.
