As you search for the perfect piece of jewelry, whether it’s an engagement, anniversary or a birthday, you might consider going the custom jewelry route. You have the ideal piece of jewelry in mind, but searching for that diamond in the rough can be tiresome and frustrating. Creating a custom piece ends the search. However, this process can also be complicated. In today’s blog post, Preusser Jewelers talks about some common questions surrounding custom jewelry.
How Do I Pick a Design?
The design process is the most critical aspect of the custom process. You might be tired of searching for the perfect piece, but without the right design you wind up right back where you started. This just adds to your perceived frustrations. At Preusser Jewelers, our skilled craftsmen will help you create an ideal design for custom jewelry that you’ll love. We work with the highest quality metals and stones. Our jewelers make your beautiful design a reality with our highly skilled craftsmanship.

How Does the Process Work?
Typically, the process of creating a custom piece begins with a consultation. First, you meet or speak on the phone with a designer to give him or her a better idea of what you are looking for. Then, the person will move on to the sketching phase where they construct hand sketches that show you what your design will look like.
Once you approve the sketch, the jeweler moves to the rendering process, giving you a more realistic vision of your custom piece. After that, you typically see a wax model after the rendering, which eventually gives way to the actual manufacturing process. After just a few more weeks, you have your beautiful custom piece in hand.

How Long Does the Process Take?
The entire custom jewelry process at Preusser Jewelers takes, on average, three to five weeks. At Preusser, we want you to be involved during the whole process, from talking to the jeweler through the completion of the piece. Our goal is to produce a piece of jewelry that you will love. Depending on the complexity of the project, that can take time. However, we can assure you that the final product will be well worth the wait.
How Much Does Custom Jewelry Cost?
As you would expect, custom jewelry is generally more expensive than ordinary jewelry because it also includes very particular design and labor work. Because this is a custom process, there isn’t a set cost for custom jewelry. Depending on the metal you choose, the stones you want, and the design itself, prices may vary significantly.
