There's a common misconception that custom jewellery is always more expensive than ready-made or pre-designed pieces. However, ready-made jewellery also incurs design costs. With custom pieces, you become the designer, crafting something truly unique. We excel at working within budgets to provide the best value. Whether it's custom or ready-made, jewellery prices depend on materials (diamonds and gold) and the complexity of craftsmanship.
Material
For engagement ring, the centre diamond is the main attraction. There are 2 parts to the process of choosing the centre diamond:
Shape
Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds have long held the title of the most popular choice for engagement rings. However, we've observed a steady rise in demand for fancy shapes such as Oval, Princess, Pear, Cushion, Marquise, and Radiant Cut Diamonds. The choice of diamond shape is a matter of personal preference and varies from one individual to another.
4Cs
Each element of the 4Cs (Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat) determines the quality of the diamond and, consequently, its cost. When searching for the right stone, it's crucial to balance the most significant aspect of the 4Cs with your budget to ensure you get the best value for your investment.
Design
The design process is a collaborative art. We listen to your ideas and story to incorporate key details into the jewellery. We provide guidance on structure, comfort, and style. Our experience and technical expertise ensure a seamless design process.
A 20% deposit initiates the visual design phase. Hand-drawn or computer-aided designs represent our discussions, leading to the final design submitted to our jeweller for bespoke crafting.
The custom jewellery creation process is an exciting journey, sparked by inspiration from images, family heirlooms, or personal ideas. Begin by scheduling an appointment with us, either in person or virtually, to discuss your vision.
Our bespoke crafting takes place in our Perth workshop and typically requires 4 to 5 weeks to be crafted once the design is finalised. Custom jewellery holds unparalleled sentimental value, crafted with care and thought for special, lifelong occasions.
