CUSTOM DESIGNS

Do you want authentic, intuitively made, and totally rad jewelry?
Then we've got you covered.

The Process

Salt Grass has been offering custom work since launching in 2016. We have worked with hundreds of individuals and couples to bring their visions and ideas to life through our thoughtful and intuitive process.

We offer custom projects in two ways: half-custom and full-custom.


With the half-custom option, you can add stones or gems to any existing Salt Grass design. This is a simple way to personalize your jewelry. You can provide your own stones, or we can source them for you. Production takes about 7 weeks and has limited customization options. There is a $199 design fee, plus the cost of the piece and any additional options, which will be discussed in your first meeting.


Our full-custom option provides a wide variety of unique settings and designs tailored to your needs. Similar to the half-custom process, there is a design fee of $299, plus the cost of your items and any custom add-ons. This option is perfect for creating a distinctive ring, wedding set, or milestone adornment. Full-custom projects vary in price depending on the complexity of your design and the metals you choose. We offer silver, platinum, 10k, 14k, or 18k gold in white, yellow, or pink. Each full-custom project will receive multiple in depth meeting with Kristi. She will provide vision boards, stone options, and sketches both in 2d and 3d.

Payment plans are available.

Client Testimonial

I am over the moon with my his and her 18k gold pinky rings.  It was delightful working with Kristi; her process is thorough and professional.  I really appreciated how she emphasized designing for the style of the individual. 

Thanks again Kristi!

"Kristi worked closely with me to make a custom pendant from my son's tooth. She was enthusiastic for a unique project and made sure everything was just right! I wear the piece everyday and the quality is amazing! Her jewelry is creative and unique and she is a joy to work with!"

-Alima

“Following my divorce, I didn't know what to do with my wedding band. I had this unique piece, made by Kristi, that I felt so connected to but no longer felt comfortable wearing. It didn't seem right to just sell it so I reached out to Kristi to see if there might be ways we could salvage the material and transform the ring into something new-- something that could symbolize my own transformation. I asked Kristi if we could melt the ring and turn pieces of it into beads that could be threaded onto a bracelet my grandmother made and into earrings I could give my partner. It felt like just the right way to upcycle my old piece.

Working with her has been nothing less than graceful. I'm grateful to know and work with an artist who can support the sort of vision I had and do so with such thoughtfulness. I hope others out there feel empowered to transform and integrate their mementos, and experiences, into something new and beautiful.

Thank you for everything, Kristi.”
