What is Custom Jewellery?
Why Should You Choose Custom Jewellery?
The benefits of custom jewellery are personal, as these pieces aren’t focused on incorporating trends, but on commemorating a milestone or creating a moment. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, designed and created exclusively for you.
Whether you’re designing bespoke jewellery for yourself or someone special, you’ll get to see the quality and craftsmanship up close by collaborating on the creation of your piece. The quality of custom pieces often surpasses what you’ll find in mass-produced jewellery, as you’ll be able to choose every aspect of your design, including its material. Our lab-grown diamonds are a popular choice for couples shopping for a sustainable custom engagement ring.
The Step-by-Step Process of Designing Custom Jewellery
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when creating your first piece, especially if you don’t know how to design custom jewellery. At DG & Co., our team will guide you through every step of the custom jewellery design process to faithfully bring your concept to life. We create custom jewellery for clients throughout Australia. If you’re local to our Melbourne location, you can do most of the design process in-store.
Step 1: Consultation & Inspiration
The first step of the custom jewellery design process is your consultation. We suggest bringing along some inspiration photos, whether it’s pictures from your Pinterest board or a rough sketch. Our team will discuss your ideas and create an initial design for your bespoke jewellery.
Step 2: Choosing Diamonds & Gemstones
After your design is complete, you can focus on the 4Cs of cut, clarity, carat, and colour if you’re choosing a lab-grown or mined diamond. Alternatively, you can select a gemstone that has sentimental meaning, such as your birthstone.
Step 3: Selecting the Metal
Don’t forget to think about your choice of metal! You’ll want your custom jewellery to complement your everyday pieces and your metal preferences. White gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum, and sterling silver are the most popular metal options at DG & Co. Jewellery.
Step 4: 3D Model and Design Edits
What makes our custom design process unique is that we create a 3D model for each piece. You can try the wax model in our Melbourne store, or our team will send videos and photos if you need to make any final design changes.
Step 5: Adding the Final Touches
Your bespoke jewellery will be manufactured in our Melbourne workshop. We’ll stay in touch with you throughout the manufacturing process and let you know when your jewellery is ready for collection.
