There is a lot of excitement that comes with designing your own jewelry pieces. This is a great opportunity to tap into design skills and put your efforts towards creating something beautiful for yourself or for someone you love.

Obviously, it’s not as simple as going to a jewelry store and picking something right out to take home but we promise to make the process smooth with lots of creative freedom. Essex Fine Jewelry is here to walk you through the steps to creating custom jewelry and help you create a stunning piece to treasure for many years to come.

Decide on Your Piece

Many people walk into their jewelry design process knowing what they are looking for. Oftentimes, this is an engagement ring for a future spouse, an everyday necklace or bracelet, or pedants  to honor different interests or aspects of your life.

For those that aren’t as far in the planning process, the first step is to decide what type of jewelry you’d like. Whether you’re creating for yourself or someone else, the first question to ask is whether this will be a piece of jewelry you’d like to wear often or bring out for special occasions. If you’re looking for an everyday piece, start by envisioning what you could see yourself wearing regularly. If you’re used to wearing rings on your fingers or have the habit of putting a necklace on before heading out, those are good places to start.

Find inspiration

Looking for inspiration is a fun part of the process especially since inspiration is everywhere you look. Jot down ideas as they come to you whether it’s a style you’ve seen on social media or a particular color that catches your eye while out and about. You can keep a collection of these sources of inspiration arranged in a notebook or digitally through a folder or a Pinterest Board.

Consult with Jeweler

The final step is to get in touch with a jeweler you trust. This means someone is willing to work with you throughout the process and has the ability to create just what you’re looking for. At Essex Fine Jewelry, we are fully dedicated to you which means personalized, one-on-one appointments that respect the privacy of our shoppers and complete attention on you.
