Modern Shopify Jewellery Store

I’m ready to launch my new jewellery brand on Shopify and need a developer-designer who can take the store from blank theme to a polished, modern-and-sleek showcase. The look I have in mind is clean, fast and image-led, with subtle animations that highlight each piece without distracting from it.

Core requirements
• Build the entire storefront on Shopify, using a lightweight, responsive theme (e.g. Dawn as a base or a premium equivalent) customised to match a modern aesthetic.
• Integrate product customisation options so shoppers can choose metal, stone, engraving, or chain length directly on the product page and see price updates in real time. (I’m open to either a vetted app or bespoke Liquid/JS if that keeps the UX smooth.)
• Enable customer reviews with star ratings and photo uploads; they must feed into rich snippets for SEO.
• Optimise every template for mobile first, then desktop, ensuring sub-two-second load times.
• Configure basic collections, filters, and meta fields so expanding the catalogue later is simple.

Nice-to-haves such as live chat or loyalty points can come later, but for this first phase I want the store live, transaction-ready, and connected to Shopify Payments and PayPal. Please include a brief outline of how you’ll tackle theme customisation, which apps (if any) you propose for the customiser and reviews, and examples of Shopify jewellery or fashion sites you’ve built.

Deliver the finished, fully tested store—plus a quick Loom walk-through—within two weeks of project start.
