Custom Jewelry Design
Custom Jewelry Design: Quick Answer
We design and build custom pieces, and reset stones you already own:
- Start with a free consultation to discuss design, metal, stones, and budget before any commitment.
- You can use your own stones. Resetting a diamond from an inherited or older piece into a new design is common.
- We source stones as well if you would rather start fresh, drawing on our buying network.
- Pricing and timeline are agreed up front, before work begins.
- Repairs, restoration, and engraving are handled by the same in-house team.
- Appointments are recommended so a designer can give your project focused time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a custom piece using my own diamond?
Yes. Resetting a stone from an inherited or older piece into a new design is one of the most common custom projects we handle.
How long does a custom piece take?
Timelines vary with complexity and whether stones need to be sourced. We agree on a specific timeline with you before any work starts.
How much does custom jewelry cost?
Cost depends on metal, stones, and complexity of the design. We quote a firm price after the design consultation, before beginning work.
Do I need to know exactly what I want beforehand?
No. Many clients arrive with a rough idea or a few reference images, and the design takes shape during consultation.
Can you source stones for me?
Yes. Because we buy diamonds and gemstones directly, we can often source stones for a custom project without retail markup.
Can you repair or restore an older piece instead of redesigning it?
Yes. Our in-house team handles sizing, stone setting, chain and clasp repair, and restoration if you would rather preserve the original piece.
Do you offer engraving?
Yes, engraving is available for both new custom pieces and jewelry you already own.
Should I make an appointment?
We recommend it. An appointment ensures a designer can give your project focused, uninterrupted time.
