The creation of custom jewelry

Imagine the scene: You pass a long-time friend on the street and while she is checking in on you, she notices and compliments you on a piece of jewelry you are wearing. You then proudly tell him about the process of creating your jewelry . This jewel is your idea, your inspiration, your story.

You had this idea of ​​creation in mind for some time but you didn't know who to go see. One day, a friend explains to you the difference between a jeweler who runs a store, who sells jewelry, and a jeweler whose job is to design and make jewelry . Good jewelers are not necessarily established in the street and are not so easy to find, but thanks to a recommendation, you have unearthed the rare gem in whom you were able to trust throughout the entire creation process.

You first established initial contact with the jeweler by telephone but you could very well have written her an email. At her suggestion, you took an inventory of your jewelry box for two main reasons. The first was to establish your needs : A ring, a bracelet, earrings? Second, she suggested you identify jewelry you no longer wore to recover the gold and gemstones. You obviously kept the chain and earrings from your baptism but you were surprised by the number of jewels that were lying dormant in your trunk. You had even forgotten the gold ring set with a magnificent diamond that your grandmother had left you. The model was old-fashioned but you liked the idea of ​​creating a piece of jewelry from his.

Before meeting the jeweler for the first time, you had set two goals for yourself. The first was to create a realistic budget that would allow you some flexibility along the way without tormenting you. The second objective initiated research into your tastes and values. This would identify the shapes, colors, textures and style that you like. You came away with a multitude of images and a much clearer idea of ​​what you wanted.

You entered his creative workshop. A few jewels were displayed here and there on displays. There is no doubt, you were dealing with an artist. Your embarrassment quickly gave way to a desire to create. The jeweler was very impressed. Not only did you bring your old jewelry and prepare a budget, you knew you wanted a ring and your inspiration images gave a lot of information. She drew some sketches, proposed some ideas and before committing to the manufacturing process, she promised you more detailed drawings and produced an estimate taking into account the value of your old jewelry. Excited and reassured, you gave your approval to the project by giving a first deposit.

A few exchanges were enough to adjust a few small details and start the manufacturing process. Thanks to 3D drawings, you had an excellent idea of ​​the final result and you did not regret adding your grandmother's diamond. The result was going to be breathtaking. Your gold would also allow you to save on raw materials. Besides, it was your gold. The jeweler had it poured and then used it on your new jewelry.
