Getting Your Bespoke Piece: A Guide to Custom Jewelry

When it comes to jewelry, most of us have a few key pieces that we love and wear all the time. They might be our wedding band or a simple necklace. But for many of us, that’s about as far as our collection goes. That’s why investing in bespoke jewelry is so thrilling – it grants you the opportunity to create a piece that perfectly fits your personal style and will complement your everyday outfits, as well as more formal looks, all year round!

Whether you’re looking to invest in an heirloom piece of jewelry you can hand down to future generations or choose the perfect jewelry gift for a special occasion, purchasing custom jewelry is an excellent way to do that without sacrificing quality. In this post, discover what you need to know before getting your bespoke diamond jewelry in Singapore

What is bespoke jewelry?

Exclusive customised jewelry is any piece of jewelry that has been designed just for you. Most jewelers in this niche will work with you to design a piece from scratch, and you can choose everything from the setting to the materials and stones used. Custom jewelry pieces can range from everyday earrings, rings, and pendants to special pieces like engagement rings or anniversary bracelets. There’s a wide range of options, so whatever you go for, a custom piece will be unique to you with its own story to tell. 

What to look for in a bespoke jewelry maker 

Choosing the right jewelry maker for your bespoke piece is just as crucial as the piece itself. You want to ensure you’re working with a reputable company with a strong track record of customer service and quality craftsmanship. 

A good maker will ask questions about your preferences and style and offer advice if you’re unsure about what to choose. They will inquire about the purpose of your jewelry, and whether it will be worn frequently or only on special occasions to assist you in making the best decision. They will also inquire about your budget and advise you on how to get the most out of your money.

When shopping for a custom-made piece, there are a few key things to look for to ensure that you’re getting something that will last. Doing your homework and shopping for different jewelers before settling on one piece is essential. Check out their previous work and ask for examples of their past pieces. You can also research their materials and construction methods to see if they’re up to par. Most importantly, trust your gut. If something feels off about a jeweler, move on. 

Why invest in bespoke jewelry? 

By investing in bespoke jewelry, you’re not only purchasing a gorgeous piece of jewelry that you or your loved one will love, but also a piece that cannot be replicated.

There are many reasons why someone might want to purchase bespoke jewelry, and it could be for a variety of reasons. Some people may want to have a piece of jewelry that symbolises a significant moment in their lives. Perhaps someone has proposed to their significant other and would like to have a unique ring that cannot be replicated. Maybe they are in a long-distance relationship and want to have a piece of jewelry that they can keep close to their hearts.

No matter the reason, bespoke jewelry is something that will be very meaningful to you, and it is sure to be something that will be treasured by your loved one.

What to look for when buying custom jewelry 

Before you head out to find a jeweler, there are a few things to keep in mind when buying custom jewelry. First, you’ll want to decide what type of piece you want. Are you going for a ring or a necklace? Earrings or a bracelet?

Once you’ve chosen your item, you’ll want to decide what type of materials you want. Gold, silver, platinum? What about gemstones? Are you looking for coloured stones or something more classic? You can also include little details like the type of clasp, the wire colour in earrings and the size of the stone.

When it comes to the design, you can include as many or as few details as you want. Do you want the jeweler to design the setting, or would you like to choose that too? What about the gems? And, if you’re designing a ring, will you be including any hidden details?

How much does bespoke jewelry cost? 

Unfortunately, there’s no one answer to this question. It all depends on the type of piece you’re looking to purchase and the materials you want to use. You can expect to pay up to thousands of dollars for a high-end engagement ring or pendant, or a few hundred for a ring or bracelet. Of course, this doesn’t include the price of the design, so you’ll have to factor in the cost of a custom design too, which will depend on the jeweler. Speak to your jeweler about the budget you set for a certain bespoke project and discuss the gemstones and intricacies that come with the costs.
