Personalized jewelry starts with something that means something to you. It could be a name, initial, meaningful date, favorite gemstone, or an idea you have been carrying around for years. The first step is simply talking through what you want the finished piece to represent.
With custom jewelry, you are not limited to picking something from a display case. The design can be developed around your story, your style, and how you plan to wear it.
Choose Diamonds and Gemstones for Your Custom Jewelry
Once the idea is clear, the stones become part of the design. Diamonds and gemstones can be selected specifically for the piece, or an existing stone can be incorporated into a new design.
This can be especially meaningful when you have an inherited piece or an old ring that you no longer wear but still want to preserve.
When choosing stones, consider:
- The color and overall look you want
- How often the jewelry will be worn
- The durability of the gemstone
- Whether you want new or existing stones
Design Personalized Jewelry With CAD
The design process brings the idea to life. After the initial conversation, the concept can be developed using Computer-Aided Design (CAD). This allows you to see how the jewelry is expected to look before it is made.
It also gives you an opportunity to discuss details and make changes while the design is still being developed.
Review Your Custom Jewelry Before It Is Finished
Once the CAD design is approved, a 3D wax model can be created upon request. Seeing a physical model can make it easier to understand the proportions and feel of the finished piece.
If something does not look quite right, adjustments can be discussed before production moves forward.
After Midnight Jewelers brings this process together with an in-house team that can guide you from the first idea through the finished piece.
