Does the sparkle and shine of a gorgeous piece of jewelry lift your spirits? Do you ever daydream about shimmering treasures crafted of metals and stones in combinations you haven't seen any jeweler's cases? Have you ever sketched your own designs for a piece? If so, you should consider custom design. It's the perfect way to craft the treasure that will make your heart sing. From exploring inspiration to unveiling the final masterpiece, every part of the custom process at Occasions Fine Jewelry is fun and easy. Let's take a look at the four steps that will help you create the cherished piece of your dreams.
1. Imagine Your Idea
The first step of the custom design process is coming up with ideas for your piece. If you like to draw, you can sketch a few designs yourself. You can also pull from magazines or photos from a web search. However, one of the best ways to generate ideas and come up with a design direction is to set up a Pinterest board. This will allow you to collect and share your thoughts with our design experts. You can also come on down to Occasions Fine Jewelry and explore our collections for inspiration.
2. Meet Your Designer
Once you have a good idea of what you want your ring to look like, it's time to meet with an expert Designer at Occasions Fine Jewelry. Your Designer can help finesse your vision by suggesting design elements to compliment your unique vision. From there they'll use the magic of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) to create a digital model of your piece. Through the screen you'll be able to see your ring from all angles and easily make changes.
3. Finesse the Details
Once you're happy with the CAD, we'll create a wax or plastic model. This model of the custom piece will show you all the features, overall size and give you a good idea of what the ring will look and feel like when complete. You can then inspect the finer details and last minute adjustments can be made until your vision is perfected. We'll work with you on these changes in our store.
4. Reveal the Real Deal
Next comes our favorite stage! After you've given your final approval, we will cast and finish your ring, bringing it to life. The lustrous metal will be shined, textured and detailed according to your design. Each gemstone will be meticulously and masterfully set. After a final inspection, you'll receive your new one-of-a-kind jewelry.
From concept to completion, your custom ring will only take three to four weeks.
