Custom Design FAQ
What types of jewelry can you custom make?
We specialize in creating a wide range of custom jewelry, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more. Whether you're looking for a unique engagement ring, a personalized pendant, or a bespoke bracelet, our skilled team can bring your vision to life. Contact us to discuss your ideas and start the design process.
Can you replicate an antique piece of jewelry?
While we draw inspiration from antique and vintage designs for many of our custom pieces, we cannot reproduce an exact replica of any vintage or antique jewelry. This uniqueness often enhances the charm and individuality of the new piece. We can work with you to create a design that captures the essence and style of the original.
Can I use my own stones or metal in my custom piece?
Yes, we are delighted to offer stone setting and heirloom redesign for those who have their own materials. You can use your own stones, and we can incorporate them into your custom design. While we do buy gold and can apply its value to the cost of your finished piece, the gold we acquire from you will not be used in crafting your jewelry.
Can you help me source antique gems, lab-grown diamonds, or other gemstones?
Yes, we can assist you in sourcing a variety of stones, including antique gems, lab-grown diamonds, and other precious stones. With over 50 years in the industry, we've cultivated relationships with some of the best gem dealers in the country specializing in antique cut diamonds and colored gemstones.
Finding the right gemstone for your custom project is a big decision, which is why we always recommend a complimentary consultation with one of our GIA-accredited professionals. Books yours today!
How much will my custom jewelry cost? How much is the deposit?
All custom pieces start at $2,000, with a detailed quote provided alongside your design presentation. The required deposit to begin creating your custom jewelry is typically 50% of the total cost, depending on design elements and any additional needs such as stone sourcing.
How long will it take for me to receive my custom piece?
The timeline for receiving your custom jewelry varies based on the complexity of the project. Simple repairs and settings may take as little as 7-10 business days to complete, while more complex redesigns and custom projects typically take 8-12 weeks. You will be advised of our estimated timeline during your complimentary consultation.
From our clients
“I cannot recommend this jeweler strongly enough. I showed them some ideas of what I wanted, which were very specific. They didn’t have anything like them stock and immediately recommended having a completely custom ring made to my exact specifications. It came out beautifully. They were so welcoming and accommodating. There were no cheesy sales tactics or pressure. They seemed to be only interested in providing me with exactly what I wanted within my budget.

“Walton’s helped me design a custom ring with my original engagement diamond and my late mom’s diamond from her engagement ring along with some small stones from a pair of her earrings. They were so wonderful to work with, and I will wear this knowing and feeling my mom is with me. It’s absolutely beautiful, and I will treasure it forever.
