Working with The Custom Jeweler to source an engagement ring was an incredibly easy and insightful process from start to finish. Matt was great to work with and was able to quickly secure several great options to look at together. Highly recommend The Custom Jeweler and I look forward to working with them for any future jewelry purchases!

I highly recommend the custom jeweler. I wanted to replace my engagement ring and told them exactly what I wanted. They gave me options of sizes of stones and what stones to put around my band . They also gave me options of what I could do with my old engagement ring. They turned it into a classic pendant necklace that is timeless. What I liked the most was their patience when I was deciding which options were best for me. I never felt pressured

Matt made the entire custom jewelry process seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. He designed a stunning engagement ring and a diamond tennis bracelet that perfectly matched my vision and my wife’s style. His attention to detail, communication, and ability to bring custom ideas to life made the experience effortless and unforgettable.

General FAQs

Is custom jewelry more expensive?

+

While our jewelry is all custom designed and crafted to exceptionally high standards, we are able to keep our costs much lower than traditional jewelers who do custom work – not by cutting corners or settling for lower quality, but by finding better ways to do things and also through our extensive list of suppliers.

Do you offer a warranty?

+

We stand behind our jewelry 100% and we offer a comprehensive set of warranties so that you can purchase with confidence. See the Warranties and Guarantees page under the How It Works Section.

When will I see a design?

+

Our jewelry designers will also create artistic sketches of our design concepts for your piece. We request a deposit prior to producing 3D models and renderings of your design and that deposit goes toward the final cost of producing your piece.

How long does a custom jewelry take to make?

+

Typically, your custom piece will be in your hands 2–4 weeks after we\'ve finalized your design. However, because each project is different, the time it takes to complete your project may vary.
