What's the Customized Jewelry Process?
When you look for customized jewelry, you can provide opinions and critiques to create your unique jewelry.
STEP 1: Free Consultation
The journey to create your custom jewelry begins with a free consultation with an experienced jewelry designer. You can communicate your ideas, story, and emotions that should be incorporated in your one-of-a-kind jewelry design. They will show you some basic sketches which you can customize as per your needs. The designer discusses wearability & amenities relying on the stone quality and high-priced metal choices.
STEP 2: Jewelry Rendering With CAD
Under this step, a photo-realistic image is modified to perfection to meet the owner's expectations before proceeding ahead to the next stage. When it comes to custom-made jewelry, the designers offer hand-selected stones for you to pick your favorite among them.
STEP 3: Wax Model
Once you've passed the CAD renders, the next step is to build a 3D wax model. Using an on-site 3D printer, the designers of Custom-made wedding rings Charlotte will produce a life-size model of your custom jewelry piece. The wax model supports you in visualizing the exact size & proportion of your finished piece. While the wax model process, you can still demand additional changes if required. Building a 3D wax model usually takes 3-7 days.
STEP 4: Casting & Finishing
In the final step, the experts handcraft the metal version from all of the jewelry rendering services. The metal is polished, textured, and related to the designs you finalized. The master gem-setter places each stone within the frame with diligence and quality. Following a final inspection of precision and quality, the designers will present you with custom-designed jewelry beyond your thoughts.
HOW MUCH DOES CUSTOMIZED JEWELRY COST?
Custom-made jewelry can cost somewhere around $350 or higher. The budget is solely up to you because when you want your old jewelry to get a new fresh touch, you will have to pay less than when you look to create a new custom diamond jewelry. The price of the jewelry piece varies according to the gemstones, metal, and the complexity of the design you prefer. But yes, it is worth it as custom pieces of jewelry can cost less than manufactured pieces.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO MAKE A WEDDING/ ENGAGEMENT RING?
The custom-made wedding or engagement ring timeline ranges from six to twelve weeks. The time depends on how complex the ring design will be and how many custom orders are ahead of yours. It can take 1-3 weeks for CAD, 1-2 weeks for the wax mold and 2-3 weeks for finished custom-made wedding rings. Each step awaits your approval and satisfaction so that the piece meets the buyer's expectations.
CUSTOM-DESIGNED JEWELRY VERSUS MACHINE-MADE
Machine-made jewelry is designed to please everyone, not just your taste. Everyone likes it, but will you love to wear the same jewelry a thousand people are wearing? When intending on passing your unique piece for generations, machine-made jewelry isn't ideal as they last for a long time. Custom-designed jewelry is made to surpass buyers' expectations and can be passed on to children for many generations to come.
