Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you're new to Custom Jeweler, making your first piece of custom jewelry, or you're making your first jewelry purchase of any kind, you may have a few questions before you get started.
Below are a few of the most common questions about our service.
General FAQ's
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.
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.
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.
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.
Order FAQ's
