Custom Jewellery

Shopping for jewellery can be tiring, frustrating and disenchanting when you can't find the piece of jewellery that matches the ring or bracelet you envisioned. Because jewellery is such a personal thing, you want to hunt down the perfect item, especially if you are looking for a special gift or perhaps an engagement ring for your future wife. There are various aspects to think about when looking for jewellery, like the metal used, the diamond or gemstone you would like and of course the setting for the stone. Many people gaze into shop windows seeking for their dream ring, only to be frustrated time and again.

There is, however, a way to get the perfect piece of handcrafted jewellery without frustrating and bankrupting yourself. Custom jewellery design, otherwise known as bespoke jewellery design, is a service offered by select jewellers that allows you to sit down and talk to a jewellery designer and discuss what exactly you are looking for and how much you intend to spend. By working with a custom jewellery design specialist you can be sure that you are giving a gift that is as unique as your special relationship. Have your own exquisite piece of jewellery realised and expertly handcrafted by an authority in jewellery design.

Making an appointment for a meeting to discuss ideas for your custom jewellery designer is the first step. A few jewellers will even come to your home, office or guest house to fit into your schedule and help create a piece of handcrafted jewellery that will bring happiness to the heart of your loved one. Jewellery should serve as a symbolic reminder of the love which prompted the gift, and even more so with bespoke jewellery design, as the item will be unique to your relationship.

Indeed the purpose of custom made jewellery is to make people happy, both those who give it as a gift and those who receive it. You can make the piece as special and unique as the person or occasion being celebrated, so careful contemplation is essential when it comes to the design.

Firstly, consider the metals; deciding on gold is always a good choice, as it is available in yellow or white. An exclusive option would be platinum, which is a more valuable because of its rarity. Platinum is a white precious metal which is harder and heavier than gold, making it more durable. Custom made jewellery for men sees the increasing use of titanium and stainless steel, which define the masculine designer look, giving a hard wearing and understated feel to the jewellery.

As with the precious metals, there is room for personal preference and taste when it comes to choosing gemstones for you custom designed jewellery. Diamonds are the all time favourite choice, but be sure that your chosen gem is accompanied by an International Diamond Laboratory Certificate, as this will guarantee the quality of your diamond, ensuring against illegitimate diamond sourcing and that it is in fact a natural stone that has not undergone enhancement treatment. Perfectly cut diamonds have been fashioned to the best possible proportions maximising the beauty and brilliance of the stone.

Coloured gemstones are also popular for custom jewellery design, with the major gems being Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald and sought-after Tanzanite, although Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Garnet, Peridot, Tourmaline and Topaz are beautiful options as well. You may also wish to make use of pearls in your custom jewellery design. Pearls come in white, grey or black, so combined with the custom setting; they add a truly luxurious feel to a unique piece of jewellery.

Once you have shared and finalised your requirements for your design, the jeweller will consult with the goldsmith and oversee the manufacture of your jewellery item. After completion the piece is delivered to you accompanied by a full valuation certificate.

Not only is this much more convenient than hunting and searching for a piece that resembles what you are longing for, but you also attain exactly what you desire from your jewellery. Bespoke jewellery design is the ideal way of purchasing jewellery for that memorable occasion and expressing your love to that special person in your life.
