The Custom Jewelry Process Explained
Ordering a custom ring is simpler than you think. Here is the step-by-step process of how a bespoke piece goes from your idea to a finished piece of jewelry.
The steps of custom jewelry making
It usually starts with a consultation where you share your idea, budget and timeline. Our designers sketch the design, then we create a 3D model for your approval. Once the design is locked, we cast the metal, set the stones, and finish by hand. Most custom rings take 2-4 weeks. See styles that can be customized.
