Creating custom jewelry is an exciting process! From starting with your original idea to putting pen to paper, and finally turning that idea into a wearable reality, with the help of experts, like the ones on our staff, creating custom jewelry for your own collection or to gift is a great idea. Whether you want that perfect piece of jewelry or have an old piece you want to redesign and revitalize, creating custom jewelry is just a few steps from realization.
How do you do it, though? There's a lot that goes into it, but that's what we're here for. We can guide you through the process until you're ready for us to make the magic happen! Check out our tips and tricks for creating custom jewelry that will stand the tests of time.
The Initial Concept
Here's where putting that pen to paper comes into play! Do you have a rough idea in your head but don't really know how to go about it? Has that imaginary ring been lingering on your mind for some time now, even if you don't know all the specifics of what you want? Just start with an initial concept and draw or note it out. Get your thoughts out on paper and take notes to keep track of what you want in your custom jewelry.
You can also stop into Dondero's Jewelry with your ideas, and we can help them come to life. It's not necessary to know every little detail about your piece, so our experts can brainstorm with you and help get the full picture of what you're looking for in your piece.
The Sketch
After that initial concept has been created, our experts will continue to work with you to get the rough sketch completed. This will be a more telling image (or set of images) and will get into the fine details of your custom jewelry. The rough sketch we complete with you will demonstrate the various features of your piece and will be a crucial step in getting your design to come to life as soon as possible.
CAD Software Comes Next
After your design is completed, we head to the computers! Our experts will create a computer-aided design (CAD) rendering of your custom jewelry. The custom design will appear as a three-dimensional image and can be viewed at all angles so you can get the full picture. This is where you should note any final changes before approving your piece coming to life.
Wax Model Creation
After you approve the CAD rendering of your piece, our experts will begin the computer-aided manufacturing part of the process. Using the best and latest technology, we can manufacture a wax model of the custom jewelry and set stones where necessary to get this model as close to the real thing as possible.
The Final Product
If you like the wax model and have no changes, then that's all there is to it on your end! From here, we begin the final product. You've done all the hard work, and now it's time to kick back and let us create. This process usually takes a few weeks.
