If you are interested in creating a custom piece of jewelry, please visit one of our Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry store locations .
If you've searched jewelry stores and websites and still haven't found exactly what you're looking for, custom jewelry is an option to consider. Custom pieces are unlike any other and the design is used only once - what you create is truly original and unique to you (or someone special!). Your piece can also be the restoration or reimagining of a beloved family heirloom.
Customization includes the jewelry type (ring, pendant, bracelet, etc.), the metal, diamonds or gemstones and the overall design of the piece.
Yes! Custom design is a great way to refresh jewelry and heirloom items. Consider a redesign like resetting a treasured family diamond into an engagement ring, or shortening a necklace into a bracelet accompanied by jewels from another piece.
Bring any inspiration you think would best describe your vision with us. This may include your own sketches, pictures from the internet, elements of other Jared pieces you like (such as a split shank, chain length and style, cuff versus bolo bracelet style, etc.), metal type and ideal diamonds or gemstones. Don't forget to share your budget and timeline!
The Jared Custom Design process begins with an initial idea consultation to work through the design of the piece. Over the next few weeks (with your approval and design tweaks at every step) a wax model is created for casting, the metal is cast and stones are set. Then, your custom jewelry piece is finished, polished and presented to you.
Jared's Custom Design Studios are ready to help you create a truly one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. Book a consultation appointment with your local store here.
Custom jewelry usually takes about eight to ten weeks. The design process will fluctuate depending on how intricate the design is and the changes necessary to get the piece just right.

All of our rings are sized to what has been determined is an average finger size. When you purchase a ring on jared.com, you will be shown the size (or sizes) in which the ring is available. If your finger is a different size, we can adjust the ring. Learn more about ring sizing.
A diamond's value is determined by its carat weight, color, cut and clarity. For further information about diamonds please refer to the 4Cs Diamond Guide.
A setting fee is assessed based on the size of the diamond and the metal type used to secure the diamond in the mounting.
White gold is pure gold that is mixed with alloys to give it a white color. Platinum is pure metal that is naturally white and much more durable and stronger than white gold.
Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are precious gemstones. All other gemstones are referred to as semi-precious.
Lab-created stones are formed in a controlled environment whereas natural gemstones are formed by mother nature's natural processes. Both share the same physical, chemical and visual properties. The lab produced stone is usually free from major defects and can be structurally stronger than its natural counterpart while also achieving optimum color.
