About Us

This is MAIA + LYRA, a one woman-owned business dedicated to providing thoughtful and quality jewelry designs for your "yes" moment. 

A letter from Alice:

MAIA + LYRA was originally born in Los Angeles, California in the summer of 2021 with the idea in mind to share some of my favorite fashion designs and styles within the jewelry industry. The name is based off my two sweet cats, Maia and Lyra. With so many jewelry brands out in the world today, I felt like my brand lacked meaning and connection. Towards the end of 2022, I made the risk to venture into designing engagement rings and wedding bands. Since then, I have helped multiple people create their perfect piece for their "yes" and "I do" moments in life. This direction has brought so much joy and purpose into my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting and choosing to work with me. 

Warmest,
Alice 

 

The Process

Every bespoke or custom inquiry begins with a free thirty minute consultation where we discuss your love story, dream style and budget. Once we decide to move forward, we'll work on a mood board with all of our inspirations where a sketch will be created - followed by a CAD/CAM design.

Don't love the design? We'll make sure to edit it as many times until it's perfect. Best part - this whole process is included in the price of the design. If you choose to not move forward, there is zero cost or obligation.

So, what are you waiting for?

The Timeline

Having a clear timeline on when to start working on your bespoke piece is just as important as the vision itself. Not sure when to inquire about it? Please see our suggested timeline below.

It generally takes about 2-3 months from the initial design to delivery for any bespoke piece. If you do not have a set deadline, you can allocate that timeline for your piece! If you're inquiring about a bespoke piece for your wedding day or special event, we recommend getting started on your project no later than 4 months before so you have ample time for revisions, fittings and arrival of your piece.  

Engagement Rings: 6-8 months before the proposal or delivery deadline
Wedding Bands: 4-6 months before the wedding or delivery deadline

Fine Jewelry: please inquire with us for better timeline estimates

We cannot do bespoke pieces if you are less than three months out from your event date/delivery deadline.

As soon as you have a date set, we recommend inquiring as soon as possible so you feel good and stress free about the bespoke process.
