FREE 15 Minute Initial Custom Consultation
This complimentary 15-minute appointment is a great first step if you're considering a custom project. We'll help determine whether you should schedule a full custom design appointment with Babs.
You'll also leave with a general ballpark price range for your project. For current entry-level custom design pricing, click here. (Most projects exceed the entry-level price.)
This is an exploratory appointment, not a full design consultation. It's most helpful if you already have a general idea of what you're looking for.
Custom Jewelry Design
Select this option if you prefer your appointment be in person at the Alara Gallery at 42 West Main Street in Downtown Bozeman.
Start with a free 15-Minute Initial Custom Consultation if you want to learn the feasibility of your project, and be provided with a price estimate before booking a full 60-minute appointment.
If you have a collection of jewels to consider for upcycling, trade-in, appraisal, or custom work, please book a Professional Jewelry Box Review.
Virtual Custom Jewelry Design
Select this path if you are out-of-area, and want to consult via on-line videochat.
Start with a free 15-Minute Virtual Initial Custom Consultation to learn more about your project.
If you have a collection of jewels to consider for upcycling, trade-in, or custom work, please know that we must receive your collection prior to us having a one-hour Virtual Custom Design appointment. Email us at hello@alarajewelry.com to inquire about how we can help you safely ship your items to us.
Custom & Repair Pick-Up/Drop-Off by Appointment
You aren't REQUIRED to have an appointment to pick up your completed custom piece or jewelry repair. But, if we're busy in the gallery and you are time-pressed, setting aside an appointment means no waiting!
For the ultimate in speedy pick-up, you can pay your custom jewelry or repair balance in advance, via secure payment link sent by text
Professional Finger Sizing
This appointment is for customers who have been asked by Team Alara to come in for a professional sizing for a ring we are making or special ordering for them.
There are many things that go into properly sizing a finger for a ring, so we do not offer this service for reasons other than that. We do, however, have a Self-Sizing Station in our gallery that all are invited to use.
This appointment provides enough time to professionally size one person. If there are two of you needing to be sized, please set one appointment and call or text us at (406) 522-8844 to arrange for a little more time before or after the booked appointment.
Let’s get this right—the first time!
Sell your jewels
We buy precious metals, diamonds, and gemstones to recycle and repurpose them, supporting a more sustainable future. Offers are based on current metal prices, gemstone value, market demand, and our inventory. Some pieces may qualify for consignment or receive a higher offer if they have collectible value.
Offers are time-sensitive, and a valid government-issued ID is required. Payment is typically made by check.
Jewelry Repair Drop off
Need a repair? Text a photo and a brief description to (406) 522-8844 so we can review it in advance.
Appointments aren't required for drop-offs, but booking one ensures little to no wait if you're on a schedule.
Quarterly Clean & Check - Complimentary
Keep your jewelry looking its best with our complimentary professional Clean & Check. We recommend bringing in frequently worn pieces every 3 months to help prevent wear and potential gemstone loss.
Appointments aren't required, but booking one means little to no wait. While a basic service takes about 15 minutes, leaving your jewelry longer allows for a deeper clean.
