How much does it cost to get a custom piece of jewelry made?

Pricing varies based on materials and complexity, but we’ll give you a clear quote upfront. Simple designs can start at a few hundred dollars.

Is custom jewelry cheaper?

Not usually. But the value is in wearing something that lasts and actually means something. Over time, the cost per wear often makes custom pieces more worthwhile than mass-produced ones.

How long does custom jewelry take to make?

On average, 4 to 8 weeks. Some pieces take more time, especially if they’re complex or require rare materials. We’ll let you know early on what to expect.

How do you know if a jeweler is good?

Trust your instincts, but also check credentials, client reviews, and how well they explain things. A good jeweler won’t rush you; they’ll guide you.
