Important Notes on Ring Sizing
Many of the rings available from Kuiper Relics feature highly mechanical settings, and bold architectural features which are integral to the ring body. Some cannot be resized without compromising the setting structure, some can be resized minimally.
It is also important to note that a wider ring will often feel tighter than a narrow band of the same size. If you have the opportunity to try on a ring with a wider band, I highly recommend this as a first step before ordering one.
Semi Custom and Fully Custom
Some custom requests might necessitate more in-depth rework of an existing design. For example, changing a design’s proportions, the shape of a stone, or adding new features.
If my works page inspires you to commission an original design or collaboration, I would love to hear about it.
Pricing
Starting prices are listed for most designs. These factor in the amount of material, design complexity, and labor involved in building the piece. Custom work, such as changing an existing design, or creating an original design incurs a higher price.
When commissioning a piece of jewelry, the following considerations will greatly influence the price:
Choice of metal
Natural or lab grown stones. Wild harvested or farm raised pearls
Type, grade and size of stone or pearl (Many of the designs photographed here are flexible enough that they can be adapted for a different size stone or pearl)
