Gone are the days when commissioning a bespoke piece of jewellery meant visiting multiple shops, sketching designs by hand, or settling for limited options. In 2025, the rise of digital craftsmanship and online jewellers has revolutionised how we access custom made jewellery bringing luxury, personalisation, and convenience right to your fingertips.
If you’re looking to design something truly special be it an engagement ring, heirloom upgrade, or unique pendant this guide will walk you through every step of ordering your piece online.
What Is Custom Made Jewellery?
Custom made jewellery refers to pieces that are designed and crafted specifically for you. Unlike off-the-shelf options, these are tailor-made to suit your personal style, purpose, and preferences.
Step 1: Explore Made to Order Jewellery Options
Start your journey by browsing through made to order jewellery collections to get inspired. Whether you’re drawn to vintage styles, modern minimalism, or gemstone-rich designs, most custom jewellers offer idea galleries or lookbooks to help you visualise the possibilities.
During this stage, you’ll decide:
- What kind of piece you want (ring, bracelet, earrings, pendant)
- The precious metal (gold, platinum, rose gold, etc.)
- Whether you want natural or lab-grown stones
- Any personal symbols, birthstones, or design elements
This helps set the creative direction before diving into the actual design process.
Step 2: Book a Jewellery Design Consultation
Once you’ve explored your preferences, it’s time to schedule a jewellery design consultation. This is usually offered via video call or online messaging with a design expert who will guide you through the entire process.
During the consultation, you can:
- Share your ideas, inspiration photos, or existing jewellery you want to repurpose
- Discuss budget, timeframes, and materials
- Understand the overall production timeline
A consultation ensures your vision is fully understood and sets the foundation for a seamless and collaborative design journey.
Step 3: Use a Custom Ring Builder or Design Platform
For those looking to design rings particularly engagement or wedding rings many jewellers offer an intuitive custom ring builder online. This interactive tool allows you to:
- Select your desired stone shape and size
- Choose the metal and band style
- View the ring in real-time 3D rendering
- Compare different settings such as solitaire, halo, or three-stone
Some platforms even allow you to save multiple designs and share them with loved ones for feedback.
At Gemrize, their ring builder makes it easy to customise every detail and visualise the final product before it’s made.
Step 4: Review Your Design in 3D Printed Jewellery Format
Once your design is finalised digitally, many jewellers will create a 3D printed jewellery prototype before casting the final piece. This step bridges the gap between virtual and physical by allowing you to:
- View and hold a mock-up of your jewellery
- Check proportions, fit, and overall design in real life
- Make changes before final production begins
This technology ensures that what you imagined is exactly what you’ll receive down to the smallest curve or setting detail.
Step 5: Crafting the Final Piece
After approval, your design is handed over to expert artisans who begin the crafting process. Using ethically sourced materials and premium metals, the team handcrafts your jewellery with meticulous care.
Here’s where magic meets precision. Your vision is transformed into a wearable work of art crafted by real hands, guided by decades of skill.
Production time usually ranges from 3 to 6 weeks depending on complexity and material availability. You’ll often receive regular updates, photos, or videos during the process.
Step 6: Jewellery Made from Old Gold (Optional)
Want to make your piece even more meaningful? Consider creating jewellery made from old gold.
Recycling family heirlooms or unworn gold not only gives your new piece sentimental depth, but also reduces material waste. You can use the gold as-is, or have it melted and remodelled into something contemporary.
This option is especially popular for engagement rings, push gifts, or redesigning outdated wedding bands.
Gemrize offers the option to reuse your existing gold or gemstones, combining sustainability with emotional value in a way few brands can match.
Step 7: Final Quality Check & Delivery
Before it reaches you, your jewellery undergoes a final quality check to ensure everything meets the highest standards stone setting, polish, symmetry, engraving, and durability.
It is then professionally packaged in a secure, luxury box and delivered to your address, fully insured and ready to unbox.
Gemrize includes documentation such as diamond certificates (if applicable), care instructions, and valuation reports upon request.
