Luxury Shopify Jewelry Store

I’m launching Avyora Jewels and already have the domain www.avyorajewels.com. I now need a Shopify expert to turn that blank canvas into a fully-functioning, luxury-feeling storefront tailored for fine jewellery.

The vision
• A refined, elegant design that instantly communicates exclusivity and trust. Think rich typography, generous white space, and photography that lets each piece shine.
• Seamless navigation on desktop and mobile, with lightning-fast load times and a frictionless checkout.

Core functionality
• Built-in product reviews to foster social proof.
• A wishlist so visitors can curate favourites before purchasing.
• Real-time live-chat support integrated (Shopify Inbox, Tidio or a comparable tool—happy to discuss).
• All standard e-commerce essentials: secure payment gateways, automated tax/shipping rules, inventory tracking, SEO-ready structure, and basic analytics connected.

Scope of work
1. Theme selection or custom theme build that matches the “luxury & elegant” brief.
2. Configuration of collections, product templates, metafields for materials/stone details, and variant logic.
3. Integration and styling of reviews, wishlist, and chat apps so they look native.
4. Set-up of essential pages (About, Contact, Policies) plus email notifications branded to Avyora Jewels.
5. Launch support—testing, bug fixes, and a quick hand-off guide so I can manage day-to-day updates.

Acceptance criteria
• Store passes Shopify’s speed and accessibility checks.
• Responsive layouts render perfectly on major devices.
• Checkout works end-to-end with a test transaction.
• All integrations function without visible third-party branding unless required.

Please share live Shopify jewellery (or similarly high-end) sites you’ve built and note whether you prefer to work from a premium theme or design from scratch. I’m ready to begin as soon as we align on the creative direction and timeline.
