Back in June, we at Premiere discussed custom bridal jewelry that reflects men and women’s unique sensibilities. Of course, there’s no reason to think that the custom design process has to end with bridal jewelry.
On the contrary, custom jewelry design is a process that also encompasses the breadth of fashion jewelry. From fashion rings to necklaces; from bracelets to earrings and beyond, custom designers open the door for you to make your dreams come true.
Jewels
When you’re designing your own custom jewelry, the elegance of jewels is always on the table. While certain jewels are common for designers — including sapphire and topaz — others tend to be uncommon. For example, there are very few luxury designers who utilize rough stones in their designs, but for a woman who embraces the modern DIY look, a rough piece of labradorite or ruby may be right up her alley.
There are also possibilities for utilizing jewels from other pieces of jewelry. If you have a piece of jewelry from grandma, for example, it’s possible to have loose diamonds taken from the piece and reworked in the new jewelry.
Metals
So, let’s say you had a piece of fashion jewelry that got broken, and despite taking it in for jewelry repair, it’s borked beyond fixing. Custom jewelry design means that you can give life to new fashion pieces using the material from the old piece.
Designers are more than capable of reworking older metals into new jewelry. With modern technology like laser welders, there’s no issue with working with high-melting-point metals like platinum.
And do keep in mind that there’s no problem with inquiring about unusual metals — we’ve seen amazing custom jewelry design where brass, copper, and iridium were the chosen material.
Styles
The custom jewelry process easily lends itself to the ultramodern. Because women and men have options to put as much as much detail in their pieces as possible, whimsical postmodern exuberance is always available.
However, there’s nothing wrong with choosing a vintage look, taking one’s cues from Art Nouveau organic grace or Art Deco geometrical boldness. Additionally, you can embrace a different kind of modernism, using minimalism to make jewelry that speaks to you.
Go to your jewelry store and speak to your designer to see which style works best for you. Remember that you can always ask to check out the jewelry they’ve got in their showcase to get ideas from designers!
