Creating a Custom Jewel

Custom designed Burmese ruby and diamond ring in 18kt gold.
A beautiful custom designed jewel is an expression of the wearer's passions, lifestyle and tastes. Creating such a jewel requires a close collaboration between a client and the designer to develop a special, unique design and translate it into a beautiful jewel.


At Bijoux Extraordinaire we specialize in helping clients create beautiful custom designed jewelry.  Each of our custom jewels brings together an imaginative design, beautiful diamonds and gemstones, and the finest craftsmanship.  To see some of the custom jewels we have created,  please visit our Jewelry Galleries.


When working with a client to create a custom jewel,  we follow five important steps:


  1. Collaborating closely with the client to create a unique and imaginative design that matches their personality, tastes and pocketbook.


  2. Acquiring the diamonds and other beautiful gemstones that will grace the jewel.


  3. Selecting the right master gold or platinum smith to create your jewel from the design we created.


  4. Carefully examining the finished jewel to make sure it meets our strict standards for quality and excellence.


  5. Celebrate!
