When to Consider Custom Jewelry
If you’re having trouble finding the perfect ring for your fiancé to be or the perfect gift for your mom, consider custom jewelry. At Eliopulos Jewelers, this can be a great option to design the piece of your dreams within your budget.
The Process
At Eliopulos Jewelers, the customer is involved in each stage of the design process. It’s helpful if you come in with a few pictures of what you are looking for. If you like the setting of one ring and detail of another, we can combine both of those concepts into the perfect design for you.
We start with a sketch and discuss the design. Next, we find the stones for you. Whether you are looking for a 1 karat diamond or a 10 karat diamond, we can find the stone of your dreams.
Next, a wax is made for the ring. This is a 3D model of what your piece will look like. After you approve the design from the wax, it is then cast with a metal of your choice. Some examples include white gold, yellow gold, platinum, and more. After this, we set the stones, polish the piece, and its yours!
Benefits of Custom
One misconception is that custom jewelry is more expensive. However, it can be around the same cost as buying elsewhere. The best part about custom jewelry is that you also create a custom budget. We let you know what can and cannot be done within the budget you are working with.
If you shop online or from large stores that do not specialize in jewelry, you are risking quality. With custom jewelry, your piece will be made from the highest quality items and with love. We work hard to make sure each piece is exactly what you imagined it to be and more. Custom jewelry typically weighs a bit more as we use more gold or other metal of your choice.
Your piece will meet your needs and your lifestyle. Do your rings always snag on clothing? We can talk through different settings that are less prone to catching on items. Have trouble opening a clasp on your favorite necklace? We can help find an alternative that works for you. Do you grandma’s old wedding ring and never wear it? We can make a custom necklace with the stones and metal that you can wear everyday. The options are endless.
Shop small! Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we all shop small to support our local businesses. This is a great reminder to get take-out from a local family-owned restaurant instead of going through a drive-thru of a major chain. Visit a local boutique instead of a big shop in the mall. We, along with other small businesses, rely on support from our community.
