So you want more bang for your buck? You’ve come to the right place.
Custom jewelry design is pretty similar to tailor-made clothing, both made to perfectly suit your looks, personality, and of course, budget.
If you wish to be uniquely stylish or want to own a piece of jewelry that holds a special meaning to you, custom-made jewelry is the way to go. In this article, we will provide you with sharp tips so you can consider the benefits of making that perfect piece at a jewelry design center like ours versus walking in a local jewelry retail store.
WHAT’S THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF CUSTOMIZING YOUR JEWELRY?
Jewelry is at the end of the day, a piece of art craft. Just like a rare Van Gogh painting, owning a ring, pendant necklace or a pair of earrings that can’t be purchased in the market already adds value to the piece itself.
A skillful custom jewelry designer can take the detailed idea for a piece of jewelry you’ve been holding in mind for some time and accurately retranslate it in physical form. Not only that, this person will take into account the technical aesthetics involved to get the exact result you’re hoping for.
Custom-designed jewelry is truly an opportunity for you to bestow your individuality and let it be known by those admirers. Let it be an exceptional conversation starter such as: “Is this a Cartier piece? — No no, this is my custom-made…”.
How much does it cost to have a custom made jewelry design?
The cost of making custom jewelry is totally dependent on the choice of materials used and the level of complexity in the wanted design. The biggest advantage of working with us is that you cut out the middle man, making the creative process much smoother.
See, when you walk into a jewelry store that offers custom design services, the sales representative may not hold the required knowledge or expertise to guide you through. They will write down prerequisites and pass them over to their in-house designer who’s going to draw a sketch or model your piece in CAD, then pass on to a 3rd person who’s typically the bench jeweler. From a business perspective, paying salaries for each of these aforementioned people and covering other business expenses can be quite challenging for retailers. This is why profit margin is a crucial factor for retailers to stay in business.
Therefore, as a buyer, you must define your budget beforehand. Be honest and realistic with the jewelry you want, including the shape and materials used as they are directly dependent upon this.
What about design details and exclusivity?
For example, you want a custom-designed lion head ring. I can already envision a couple of ring pieces with this design I’ve seen before, does that mean yours should look like them? I hope your answer is no! Retailers often go for generic designs and patterns they have preloaded and work around them. Very rarely they will show alternatives of the same concept design and let you choose the one truly speaking to you. What will the lion’s eyes express? Is it fear or humbleness? What about its glorious hair known as the mane, will it curve over the shank?
Questions like these set the tone when it comes to understanding the intricacies of design, and here at Jeweler Vision we hold such knowledge.
Exclusivity means the restriction to a particular person, in this case, authentic jewelry that probably won’t be worn by someone else. Custom jewelry is specifically designed to please your individual taste, not everyone else’s. It is custom-made to mirror your charisma, your goals, and ambitions, what about your passions and life experiences?
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TRUST THE RIGHT BESPOKE JEWELLERY DESIGNER
Because not all jewelry retailers work with experienced designers who truly comprehend the creative forces needed to design custom jewelry. We have customers who have shown us product images from big brand websites and we have recreated an altered design without copying the original, with a cost almost 35% less than what they would have spent!
Pure craftmanship
The Artisan-jeweler is a rare breed these days. We are fortunate enough to work with one. Some retailers will propose a generic design with minimal modifications to bring it closer to what you are aiming for, but they won’t be able to accurately convey your vision into the exact model you’re actually dreaming of.
So if you’re seeking a reliable and creative enthusiast custom jewelry designer and jewelry manufacturer who will guide you thoroughly in forging together your dream piece, Jeweler Vision is here to assist you!
When we design a custom piece, our customer’s perceptions and ideas become our reality. We provide an extensive variety of customization and work with the latest tools to assure your goods are made with the highest possible standards.
