Step 2: Theme & Concept
Share your preferred motif, theme, or concept for your high-end tableware or pewter home decor item.
Step 3: Product Specifications & Order Quantity
Send us the details of your design, including:
- Desired design size and dimensions (in Centimeters or Inches)
- A sketch or technical drawing
- Details regarding specific materials and components
- Estimated weight of the finished piece
Step 4: Custom Design Quotation
After receiving your instructions and requirements, we will provide a per piece price estimate based on the product size, quantity, materials, and required tooling moulds (which are different from production moulds).
We ask for a deposit to begin sample production, with the remaining balance due upon completion.
Step 5: Prototype Production Timeline – Design & Creating a Masterpiece
While the exact timeline for each custom pewter design varies depending on its unique requirements, the process usually looks like this:
- A wax prototype in approximately 2 weeks
- A metal prototype approximately 1 week after that
- You provide approval via email or video call
Step 6: Final Pewter Model for Production
After you approve the final prototype and confirm your order, Silasmith craftsmen will begin work on your production mould.
