The Custom Jewelry Making Process

Handmade jewelry designs are usually sketched on paper and then the ring or pendant design is carved from wax. The wax model is destroyed by the extreme heat in the casting process. This jewelry making process is called lost wax casting. Visit the How Custom Jewelry is Made page to learn about this ancient jewelry manufacturing process. The jewelry maker carves the wax model by hand . Each custom jewelry piece is as unique as the person receiving it.

Your unique creation could be almost any type of jewelry and can be manufactured in sterling silver, yellow or white gold, or platinum. If you have a picture or sketch of a ring or pendant design you would like done, this would help Tony in making your unique piece of jewelry. He can also make a sketch of your jewelry design which is sent for your approval. During the custom jewelry making process you will receive pictures through email of the wax model of your custom gemstone jewelry. This one on one service helps to ensure that you get a very special piece of handmade jewelry to treasure for many years to come.
