Custom

At Reuven Gitter Jewelers, we offer the service of highly personalized custom jewelry manufacture. If you have an idea for a piece of jewelery you would like us to create for you, it would be our pleasure to make that idea a reality with our state of the art customization process.

Making a custom piece can begin a number of ways. It can be as simple as taking a pre-existing piece in our store and having us redesign it with a few modifications, or it can be as personalized as bringing in an idea, photo, or sketch, and having us custom create a piece from the ground up.

In order to custom make a ring from scratch, the first step is to create the initial design. This can be done either through drawing or through a computerized CAD rendering, depending upon the level of complexity.

Once the design is finalized, a jeweler's wax is created. This is a true-to-life wax replica of the finished piece, minus the set stones. Although waxes look slightly heavier than the finished piece due to the way they're created, they are a good way to check for any changes that need to be made with either the design or the sizing.

If the wax is approved, we take it into casting, which means the wax design is cast in the metal of your choosing. From here, the stones are set and the ring is cleaned and polished one last time, and any last minute details, such as hand engraving, are applied. The piece is now finished and ready to become a treasured heirloom.
