1. Design Exploration

Once your project is confirmed, we'll collect your design deposit and begin the creative journey.

Together, we'll curate gemstones, meaningful symbolism, botanical elements, colors, and personal details that celebrate your companion's unique spirit. Our team will then create the first design concepts, transforming your memories into a timeless piece designed exclusively for you.

3. Design Development & Refinement

Aris and our Companion Design Team will transform your stories, inspirations, and selected gemstones into a series of thoughtful design concepts.

Throughout the design journey, we'll present detailed sketches, followed by CAD models and motion renderings that allow you to experience the piece from every angle before it comes to life.

Together, we'll refine proportions, gemstone placement, symbolism, and every meaningful detail until the design feels like a true reflection of your companion and the bond you share.

This collaborative design process typically takes approximately 7–12 days, depending on the complexity of the project and revisions. Once every element is approved, your piece will move into production.

The final chapter of your Companion Journey.

From $4,000 to $15,000+

The Guardian Heirloom Collection is created for those who wish to preserve the love of a beloved companion in a precious piece of fine jewelry, designed to be worn now and carried through generations.

Each piece begins with one of our four Guardian Signature compositions. Through your companion’s expression, posture, favourite flowers, meaningful symbols, and gemstone colours, we shape the design into something that feels deeply personal while staying true to the Aris design language.

I wanted Guardian to balance the timeless presence of high jewelry with the small, intimate details that make a memory yours. Rather than creating a literal portrait, we create collectible heirlooms in gold and exceptional gemstones that hold companionship with quietness, beauty, and permanence.

Most Guardian Heirloom pieces range from $4,000–$7,000, depending on gemstone selection and customization. For clients wishing to create a more significant family heirloom, exceptional gemstones such as unheated royal blue sapphires, no-heat pigeon blood rubies, and fine emeralds can elevate the commission to $10,000+.

More than a remembrance piece, each commission is designed as a lasting expression of love, memory, and material beauty, made to be treasured within a family for generations.
