PREORDERS
Q: What is a preorder?
Placing a preorder is a purchase of the creation selected. Once you place your pre-order and we receive payment, our artisans begin crafting the pieces in your order. At this time most purchases made at L’Atelier de Ghat are pre-order purchases, and all pieces are made to order. Please allow a MINIMUM of 6 weeks from the time of pre-order for the final delivery of your jewelry creation.
Q: Do I need to preorder in order to acquire a creation?
The Atelier takes great pride in every piece we create; at this time we only accept pre-orders online. This is to ensure each individual piece is of the highest possible quality and created with the utmost care and precision, made especially for you. We are committed to reducing waste and excess production, and have consciously decided to adopt our made-to-order practices. We deeply value your patience in our pre order process.
Some select pieces and variations may be available immediately in San Francisco or Los Angeles, by arranging an in person appointment. Please email info@atelierghat.com to inquire about in person acquisition appointments.
Q: Why is the pre-order timeline estimate so long?
The birth of each creation is a careful and multifaceted process. All pieces are expertly casted, carefully hand articulated, stones individually set, creations hand polished, and subject to the highest level of scrutiny in the final inspection process. Each piece is thoughtfully and individually gift wrapped and each note handwritten when you purchase a creation from L’Atelier de Ghat. We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding of our unique creative process in providing you with an extraordinary creation that will last generations.
