Custom Jewelry Design

Made Once, for One Person

Some pieces cannot be shopped for. Maybe you already have the stone, or the idea has been in your head for years.

Bring us a sketch, a photograph, a ring that no longer fits, or a feeling about what you want. We will sit down with you, discuss your options, and make the piece of jewelry you have been dreaming about.

Custom Jewelry, Made for Memories

Plenty of places will sell you custom jewelry. Most of it is a stock setting from a catalog with your stone dropped into it.

We work differently. At Victoria Charles, the same people who meet you at the start of the process are the ones who see the piece through.

We can use what you already own. Your grandmother's stones, the gold from a piece that no longer gets worn, a diamond from a ring with a difficult history, or something else altogether.

Through four decades in fine jewelry, we have cultivated long-standing relationships with select, trusted master artisans and vendors. These exclusive partnerships allow us to source rare stones, period cuts, and bespoke settings, ensuring your custom piece is crafted to the highest standard of excellence.

How Custom Design Works

1. 1

   Consultation

   It all starts with a conversation. Bring anything you have: a photo, a Pinterest board, a piece you want to reference, the stones you want to use. We will talk about what you want the piece to do, where it will be worn, and what your budget is.

2. 2

   Design

   We capture your vision and collaborate directly with our long-standing network of master artisans and vendors to bring it to life, ensuring every detail is crafted to your vision and the highest standard of excellence.

3. 3

   Delivery & Fitting

   You can pick up your custom piece in our showroom. If you are interested, we can schedule an appointment with our certified-gemologist appraiser for your insurance needs.

Typical timeline: most commissions take six to ten weeks from consultation to delivery. Simple work moves faster and complicated work takes longer. If you have a date in mind, tell us at the consultation.
