| The rush fee covers the extra work involved to arrange a workshop on short notice. It is not a "penalty." Out of courtesy for my schedule, please book at least two weeks in advance when possible, preferrably six weeks. Occasionally, it is more convenient to schedule a workshop fewer than two weeks in advance. I of course do not charge a fee in these circumstances. |

| - explanation - | |
| In order to make the advanced project of creating a custom engagement ring a reality for customers without metalsmithing experience, work must be done behind the scenes. Some examples are: - precious metals & stones are ordered for each individual project - an entire day must be cleared from my schedule - sometimes specialty tools must be purchased - occasionally stones that don't meet my quality requirements are returned and reordered. - design work must be done for custom rings While I usually give priority to workshop customers over custom orders, the later a client books, the more re-arranging of my schedule must take place in order to accommodate that client. Occasionally, customers find me less than two weeks before they plan to propose or get married. I am usually happy to accommodate, but it still takes more work to make the project happen on short notice. For customers who are researching their options, PLEASE set a deadline of a minimum of two weeks before your preferred workshop date to make a decision. I would much rather plan your ring workshop in a timely manner than charge a rush fee. |
