Why choose to make custom jewelry?
Your jewelry is an extension of yourself, and as such, it should reflect your personal style and unique taste perfectly. That’s why custom jewelry design is such an amazing thing because with it, you get to create pieces that are as unique as you are. Custom jewelry is, by definition, one-of-a kind. It is created solely for the individual who will be wearing that piece. There are as many ways to show individuality as there are people in the world. Not only that, but custom-made jewelry pieces are also wonderful gifts. They show how special your giftee is to you because instead of picking a gift off a shelf, you chose to design something unique for them, and that’s priceless.
How does custom jewelry design work?
It’s actually simpler than you might think! When you get a piece of jewelry custom-made, you have creative control, so you’re involved in the process from start to finish. Here is the step-by-step breakdown of what you can expect the whole custom design process to look like:
- First, you bring us pictures, sketches, or anything else that inspired your design. You can also come in store and have a look at some of our samples.
- Then, we work with you to create the design concept for your one-of-a-kind piece.
- Once you approve the design, our jeweler creates a computer-aided design (CAD) to represent your custom piece's final look.
- Upon your approval of the CAD or wax model, all you have to do is leave the work to us. Then, we introduce you to the jewelry piece of your dreams!
What types of custom jewelry can I get?
The truth is that your options are endless. So don’t be afraid to let your creativity run wild! Here are just a few of the options you have with custom jewelry design:
- Redesign a worn-out piece of jewelry you don’t wear anymore into something exciting.
- Turn an outdated family heirloom into a new, stylish piece full of special meaning.
- Create unique wedding/engagement rings for you and your loved one.
- Turn an earring whose pair you lost into a beautiful pendant or charm.
- Make jewelry featuring your children’s birthstones.
How long does custom jewelry take?
When you decide to get a piece of jewelry custom-made especially for you, it’s only natural to count the days until you can finally wear it. But, jewelry making is a delicate art that shouldn’t be rushed. The initial design process tends to be the lengthiest part, and the more intricate the design or the higher number of alterations, the longer it will take to finish. But that’s not a bad thing! Our master jewelers would rather take some time to create a piece with incomparable craftsmanship and quality than rush the process and have you end up with a piece that doesn’t meet our high standards - or your expectations, for that matter. While there’s no definitive answer for how long a custom design project takes from start to finish, you can expect your special piece to be ready to join your jewelry collection in around two to six weeks, depending on the complexity of the design.
