If you have a photo or drawing, please email it to me.
Untraditional. Unrepeatable. Unapologetically Yours.
From alternative engagement rings to reimagined heirlooms, your story deserves more than mass-produced sparkle. This is grounded artisan collaboration — where your vision becomes wearable art.
How It Works
How It Works
STEP ONE
Reach out by email or through the form.
Tell us what you're envisioning.
- If it's a redesign, send a photo of your existing piece — like a broken beaded bracelet you want made wearable again.
- If it's from scratch, share your theme, story, or inspiration (nature, memories, symbols, etc.).
STEP TWO
Receive a quote and timeline.
If your project is a fit, you’ll receive a quote including a flat design fee + estimated materials and labour.
Note: If major changes are made after work begins, the final price may increase by up to 25%.
STEP THREE
Secure your commission.
For large or complex pieces, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit before we begin.
For smaller commissions under $1000, we ask for payment in full upfront.
STEP FOUR
We create your piece.
You'll receive a progress update partway through. Each piece is completed with intention, by hand, or in collaboration with trusted partners.
STEP FIVE
Completion & delivery.
Once your custom piece is finished and fully paid, we ship it beautifully packaged — ready for the next chapter of your story.
Local pickup is also available in the Danforth & Greenwood area, Toronto.
What We Can Create Together
Design by Athena specialises in custom jewellery commissions for those who don’t want what everyone else has. Whether you're marking a new chapter, honouring a loved one (human or animal), or finally bringing that “dream piece” to life — this is where it happens.
