Work With A Master Jeweler To
And Make Your Vision Come To Life
You'll be working exclusively with a master jeweler to design your own jewelry to create the piece of your dreams.
The process begins with an hour-long sit down at our Breckenridge store to discuss ideas and brainstorm ways of carrying out your vision. After we select a design direction, you will receive a round of sketches or CAD images showcasing various options, with the second round of revision sketches and CAD images if necessary.
From here you'll select your absolute favorite and that's when the real fun begins. Your design will be custom built, bringing shared ideas to life from paper or computer to metal. You'll be presented with your finished treasure - a true marriage between your ideas and an artisan's vision.
The end result? An entirely unique piece that is sure to become a future heirloom.
Custom projects do cost more than purchasing an item that has already been designed. When you design your own ring & jewelry, it takes more time and creative energy required to conceptualize, design and carry out a brand-new idea in metal.
A 50% payment is required once a design has been chosen and before work begins.
The balance is due upon receipt of the finished piece. Please note that this applies to local customers only. If we are shipping your item, balance is due in full before it is sent.
When you design your own rings & Jewelry, the timetable can take anywhere from 4-12 weeks depending on the complexity design and our workload.
Please contact us with a brief description of your project and we'll get back to you ASAP!
Contact UsUnfortunately, this is nearly impossible to answer without knowing every last detail! When designing your own rings & jewelry, there are so many factors involved in pricing out a custom project, that we are unable to give quotes without a design consultation ($200, which is applied towards the project should you decide to move forward). Custom jewelry design is certainly not the most cost-effective way to make jewelry, but it is certainly the most special! You will be working closely with a master craftsperson to carry out your vision that will be treasured for a lifetime and beyond. We are also happy to work with your budget. Please be sure to mention your budget (if you have one) prior to your design consultation. You will be given several options that fall at various points of your budget.
We offer an informal 20-minute free consultation. This is a great service for people that are serious about pursuing a custom project but, would like a little more info before committing to the process. During your visit, you can expect to get to know our work, talk briefly about your vision and budget and further your understanding of the process. You will not receive any hard quotes until after you've decided to proceed with the one-hour consult, but we can often give you an idea of what to expect based on our conversation.
If you are not ready to design your own rings & jewelry, most of our jewelry is easily customizable. This means that you can request a different metal (we work with silver, 14k and 18k white, yellow & rose gold) a different stone (sapphire? ruby? black diamond?), earring type or chain length generally at no additional or small additional charge. This is not considered custom work, merely altering an existing design. Send us a quick email if you're interested in this option--we'll promptly get back to you.
Generally, yes. We must inspect stones before we can determine if they are usable in a new design. Often older stones are cut differently or are hard to view in their current settings. We usually must take stones of their current settings to make sure they are of the quality that is required to work with them. While this will cut costs to some extent, there is quite a bit of labor involved in removing the stone and inspecting the stone. Plus, more often than not this option requires us to create a custom setting for the stone as well. We urge clients to use this option as a sentimental choice v.s. a cost-cutting choice.
Yes! Depending on the project, we can often either use your exact metal in the new piece or scrap the metal for you and use the credit towards the new project. Come by the shop or contact us to find out how it works.
A few options here. If you're local, please stop by our Breckenridge jewelry shop and we can size you - it just takes a minute! We're also happy to send you a complimentary set of ring sizers in the mail for you to size yourself. We can also do our best to guess! Most rings can be sized up and down within reason. We offer a free sizing within 90 days of completion of custom work. We'll be sure to take this in to account when working on the project.
