How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
A design visit turns your idea into sketches and a CAD render within a week, a wax model follows for you to try on, and the piece is cast, set and finished in our workshop. The $350 design deposit is credited to the finished piece. A design conversation covers intended use, budget, stone preferences and timeline. Material descriptions, grading reports, sourcing, prices and warranty terms are confirmed in writing before a piece is made.

Know the names.
The makers, products and standards we reference when we talk about custom jewelry design.
From pencil line to wax model
A commission moves through sketch, CAD review and a physical model before manufacturing approval. Stuller’s CAD/CAM services show how a jeweler can begin with a sketch, a digital file or a customizable style.
- Stone dimensions and setting height considered early
- Design revisions and approval milestones in writing
- Metal, finishing, production time and care scope itemized
Manufacturer and product names belong to their owners and link to official information. No affiliation or authorized-provider status is implied.
Good to know.
Can I use my own stones?
Yes. We assess them at the design visit and set them in our workshop.
What does custom cost?
Most pieces land between $1,500 and $8,000 depending on metal and stones; the quote is fixed before we make anything.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should I understand about the process and inclusions for custom jewelry design?
- How will stone documentation, metal specifications, design approvals and sourcing descriptions be verified?
- Which resizing, repair, warranty and return arrangements apply to a custom or made-to-order piece?
