Why Design Your Own Jewellery?
Owning and wearing jewellery is a personal choice and a reflection of yourself. By custom designing your own jewellery, you add value because your piece now represents something unique and meaningful to you.
Often, when jewellery is passed down through the generations, the design is not suitable to the new owner. In this case, redesigning the jewellery, using the same stones, is a viable route to consider.
Here are some thoughts to consider:
1. Getting jewellery custom designed is usually less expensive in the long run.
Although it's always lovely to receive jewellery, often we tend to wear it for its sentimental value rather than the design itself. This can eventually lead to less wear and that is when jewellery becomes expensive.
However, if the ring, pendant or earrings are made to compliment the personality of the wearer, then this person gets more pleasure out of the item over time. Jewellery can even be made to compliment existing jewellery the wearer owns already. Hence, in the long run, because the custom jewellery is getting lots of attention and remains to the liking of the wearer, the personal value remains high.
2. Use old jewellery to make new jewellery
If you have older jewellery or jewellery that you have inherited, then perhaps you should consider updating it. The best way to maintain the value of the gemstones is to re-create an item of jewellery that supports your own unique tastes in design. Often, we can use your own gold to help keep costs down. Look through magazines and check our jewellery section for ideas and suggestions. You will be surprised at how little it will cost you to come up with exactly what you want.
3. Have complete originality
Having a unique piece of jewellery on your hand or around your neck, that no one else in the world has, makes it that much more special to the wearer. Any idea can become a reality.
Have you ever noticed that most jewellery stores sell the same styles of jewellery? This is so, because most jewellery stores buy from the same suppliers of jewellery. If you're looking for someting special, just inform us of what you're looking for and we will do the rest. It's that simple.
At Jeff Walters Diamonds, we can design anything that you can imagine.
4. It's not difficult or complicated. Nor will it take a long time to make.
Having a unique piece of jewellery crafted to your desires isn't as tough a job as you think. You already have an idea of your ideal piece of jewellery and of your budget. The right jeweller knows how to put your vision on paper, or in the computer. From there, a wax mold is made for your approval. You can make any changes you want at this stage. The final step is receiving your completely original piece. The process usually takes place within two weeks.
The next time you're considering buying a new piece of jewellery, as a gift or for yourself, consider getting it custom designed. At Jeff Walters Diamonds we can do this without any extra cost, yet it will mean so much more.
Seeing your idea become a reality is an exciting experience you shouldn't do without.
5. Start a family heirloom.
Many families already have a family crest or symbol dating back many years. Why not design a ring or pendant with this design imbedded right into the gold? Or perhaps you wish to develop a ring that is passed down from generation to generation. Or maybe it's a piece with the birthstones of every member of your family.
You decide. Begin the family tradition yourself.
