Sometimes there are pieces of jewelry that have never been seen before because they only exist in someone's mind. Other times you've seen a piece of jewelry and have never been able to find it again. So what do you do when you have an idea or have seen a piece of jewelry, but can't find anyone that carries it? That's where we at Blue Diamond Jewelers can help with our simple three step custom design process.

Here at Blue Diamond we've created beautiful custom pieces for our guests that are truly one of a kind, either from a picture or a sketch of an idea we can make it. Have some jewelry that you just don't wear anymore but the stones in it are beautiful? No problem, we can take those stones and put them into a new set of earrings, fashion rings, or pendants that will be unique and something that you'd love to wear.

So how does our simple three step process work?

STEP 1: The Idea

The idea is the first step towards creating an amazing piece of custom jewelry. If you have an idea in your head we can sketch it out for you. Did you see something in a magazine but want to change a few details? We can gladly help with that as well.

Whatever the idea is we find a way to explain all the intricacies and details so that everything is perfect in the next step. Main question that we may ask include:
  • What type of metal do you want the piece in? (14kt, 18kt white or yellow gold, platinum)
  • Do you have any previous stones from other pieces that you want to integrate into the design?
  • What size does the piece need to be in and what time are you planning to present it as a gift?
Once we get all the appropriate information, have all the pictures or sketches, and have worked out an idea of what the finished product should look like we move on to the next step.

Step 2: The Design

After we've gone over the idea of the piece that you want to design and have all the details we go into the design phase. The design phase is where we send all the sketches and pictures to our 3D CAD designers, then they create a full three dimensional image of the piece that is being designed.

After the 3D CAD has been made we can do a wax mold of the design so that you can actually see how the piece will look and allows you to make any other little tweaks or add any features. Once the design is approved and all the finer details are smoothed out, we move to the final step.

Step 3: The Creation

The moment that everyone is excited for, the creation! Where your piece comes together to create a truly unique piece of jewelry that is one of a kind. Our jeweler takes the 3D CAD and/or wax mold of the piece and makes it in whatever metal you have chosen and use whatever stones you've selected to create your piece.

The finished product, an amazing all platinum solitaire ring!
And that is how we create custom pieces with our simple three step process at Blue Diamond Jewelers. It's a great way to create something brand new and unique, either from a simple concept or from previous pieces that just need a new incarnation.
