What goes into designing a custom piece?
Creating a bespoke jewellery design gives you a lot of freedom to design and dream up a jewellery piece that fits your needs. There are a few checkpoints to keep in mind.
Metals
Metals are weighted in karats (not to be confused with the carat weight of diamonds) this indicates the percentage of gold that is present in the metal mix.
Platinum is widely in jewellery manufacture, as it is the hardest of the jewellery metals.
Yellow and Rose Gold are very popular choices for engagement rings, their warm tones work beautifully on the skin and provide a beautiful, rich setting for diamonds and many other gemstones.
White Gold, which is also mixed with alloys and to many people looks a lot like Platinum, is often used to accentuate the whiteness of diamonds. It has a warmer white shine than platinum and is also preferred to it in jewellery with an intricate or vintage design.
9kt 14kt and 18kt is the Gold generally used in the making of fine jewellery.
Stone Types
The differing gemstones not only come in a wide variety of colours but they have different hardness values also on the Mohs scale and its worth taking that into account when choosing your piece to ensure it can stand the test of time. Some gemstones are attributed to certain months as birthstones, and some even to special anniversaries.
The most popular stones include:
- Diamond
- Emerald
- Ruby
- Sapphire
- Tanzanite
- Aquamarine
- Topaz
- Amethyst
- Tourmaline
Stone Cuts
The cut of the selected stone in your bespoke jewellery design is very much a personal element and depends much on the personality of the person who will be wearing the stone.
There are many different shapes, with the most popular below…
Stone Weight
A stone’s weight, measured in Carat, is one of the factors that affects the jewellery piece’s size and price.
