There’s something magical about designing a piece of jewelry that exists nowhere else in the world—something made just for you. At our jewelry store, custom design is one of our favorite parts of the craft. Every ring, necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings begins with a story, and we’re honored to help bring that story to life.
Whether you’re hoping to redesign a sentimental heirloom, create the perfect engagement ring, or bring a dream sketch to reality, here’s a look at how our custom jewelry process works.
1. The Inspiration Conversation
Every custom piece starts with a conversation.
You share your ideas—photos, sketches, favorite styles, or even just the feeling you want the piece to have. Some customers come in with detailed plans; others bring only a memory or a dream. Our job is to listen, interpret, and guide you toward a design that fits your vision, lifestyle, and budget.
We discuss:
Your preferred metals
Gemstone choices
Style inspirations
Purpose and meaning behind the piece
This is where the creative spark begins.
2. Sketching the Vision
Next, our design team begins sketching initial concepts based on your ideas.
We create detailed drawings that show different angles, variations, and unique elements. This is your chance to tweak the design—add a hidden gemstone, change a setting style, or refine the overall look.
The sketch stage ensures one thing: you’ll love the design before we ever begin crafting it.
3. Digital Rendering: See It Before It Exists
Once you approve the sketch, we bring your piece to life using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. These 3D renderings show precise details, proportions, and how the final piece will look on the hand, wrist, or neckline.
This step helps you visualize:
Stone arrangements
Metal thickness
Side angles
Height of the setting
It’s exciting to see your idea turn into a realistic preview—many customers say this is when it truly feels real!
4. Wax Model (Optional, But Amazing!)
For pieces that need an extra level of visualization, we can create a wax model that you can see and hold. This model lets you experience the scale and shape before we cast the real piece.
Holding the model is often where customers say,
“This is exactly what I imagined.”
5. Handcrafting Your Jewelry
With the final design approved, our jewelers begin crafting your piece with expert precision. This is where artistry meets technical skill.
Our process may include:
Casting the metal
Hand-setting gemstones
Polishing and finishing
Engraving personal touches
Every component is handled with care, and every stone is set by hand—ensuring your piece is as durable as it is beautiful.
6. The Final Reveal
Once the piece is complete, we invite you in for the reveal.
Seeing a customer’s reaction is one of the best moments in our shop. Your custom jewelry isn’t just a piece—it’s a memory, a milestone, a personal treasure.
Every sparkle represents the care, creativity, and craftsmanship that went into bringing your vision to life.
