One of our favorite ways to serve our customers is custom design. You can come to us with a fully formed design (complete with sketches and reference pictures!) or simply come with an idea—but did you know that you can come with materials too? That’s right—we can take your old, worn out jewelry and make something brand new!

Gather your scraps

---

Taking the center stone from a dated piece of jewelry is probably the most common re-purposing we see, but so many other possibilities exist. Tangled gold chains, broken rings, and earrings featuring tiny accent stones can be repurposed too. Not only is this a great way to recycle materials, but it also can cut down the cost of your new piece! When you bring in your scraps, you can have it appraised by a gemologist to get an approximate idea of how much your materials are worth.

Approve your design

---

Now for the fun part—designing! Like we mentioned before, this process can be as collaborative as you prefer. If you already know exactly what you want, we will faithfully bring your vision to life. However, if you need some help fleshing out an idea, we do that too!

At the end of the design phase, you’ll have a 3D model (like the one above) ready for approval. With 360 degree views, you can see your custom design from every angle!

Enjoy your new treasure

Once the 3D model is approved, we get to work! At our national repair center, we perform every step of the production process. Not only will you have a truly one-of-a-kind piece, you’ll have something locally made too! In fact, we’ll be showing you this entire process is an upcoming blog post, so be sure to check back soon!

For now, you can check out our custom design page for a little more information about our main designer and the process. We hope to serve you soon!
