Do you like one of our designs but you’d like to modify it a little? Since we make our jewelry ourselves, we can offer you the option of customizing the jewelry to your liking.
Modified jewelry is jewelry which has been adapted to the customer's wishes. Unlike with custom made jewelry, modified jewelry does not need a brand new design and an existing piece of jewelry can simply be adapted without the need to interfere with the original design of it.
The most frequent modification requests from our clients:
- a different closure (e.g. a pushback instead of a screwback on earrings)
- shortening or lengthening a bracelet or necklace
- a non-standard ring size
- a different color of gemstone (in order to change to a different type of stone, an individual assessment is required – for example, it is usually not possible to exchange a diamond for another gemstone)
- special surface treatment for the jewelry (e.g. matt/sandblasted)
- changing the width of the band on wedding rings
- engraving
- changing the color of gold
All of these changes are noted down and registered as a modified jewelry order. The modification requested is priced taking into account the material and work involved. When it comes to modified jewelry, it is customized jewelry and it cannot be returned, exchanged, or altered for free. For modified orders, we require an upfront deposit of at least 20% of the price of the order. In the event that an order which is already in the process of being made is canceled, the deposit is not refunded and is used to cover the costs incurred during production.
Custom made jewelry
Custom made jewelry is a design process in which we create a bespoke piece of jewelry - according to an idea, design or customer request. Bespoke jewelry production includes all client requests where it is necessary to first create a model of the piece of jewelry - that is, create a design in 3D software and then have the jeweler completely hand make a unique piece of jewelry based on the customer’s wishes. This is a complex process that involves all our teams, from sales to design, through product and production.
When we make the jewelry, we pay attention to the smallest details. It is necessary to take into account not only the visual appearance of a brand new, unique piece of jewelry but also the parameters of how it is made - functionality, the available options inherent in its design as well as durability. It’s a time-consuming and technically demanding process where emphasis is placed on an individual approach, the highest quality and superior service.
What we are able to do
- create a piece of jewelry for a different size or type of stone
- create a piece of jewelry with a different number of stones and a different type of faceting
- hand make a piece of jewelry according to the specifications (no 3D software is used)
- model a piece of jewelry in 3D based on your own ideas
Production times and price
The production time of custom made jewelry is always individual and is influenced by the overall complexity, availability of stones, the design itself, including preparations for the work itself as well as the testing.
We estimate the price taking into account the type of design, the production method, the material and gemstones used as well as the amount of work involved. For custom jewelry we require an upfront deposit of 50% of the price of the jewelry. In the event that an order which is already in the process of being made is canceled, the deposit is not refunded and is used to cover the costs incurred during production. Custom made jewelry is bespoke jewelry which has been tailor-made to the customer’s specifications and as such it cannot be returned, exchanged, or modified for free.
