When you enrol and pass a ring making class, you’ll have a better appreciation for custom or handmade jewellery. You’re likely to see the benefits of wearing something unique over the store-bought kind, too. This is especially true if you make the items yourself.
One of a Kind
Can you really say you have something unique if only one or two elements are different from an entire collection?
- With custom jewellery, you have the option to showcase your unique style and personality from the setting right through to your choice of precious stones that scream luxury.
- You can bring your vision to life, which is likely to be different from everyone else’s.
- The possibilities are endless when it comes to customisation, depending on the materials you choose. Combined with meaningful details, you can create a design that is truly one of a kind.
Tailored to a Specific Occasion or Purpose
One of the advantages of custom jewellery is that you can design it for a particular event or purpose.
- For instance, you create one ring to celebrate your engagement and another for everyday use.
- You can create pieces that resonate or mark a specific milestone in your life. A necklace made after the birth of your first child, for example.
Higher-Quality Craftsmanship
Whether you make it yourself or hire a custom jeweller, most custom-made jewels are meticulously produced.
- They’re produced with care and with great attention to detail, ensuring you get exactly what you ask for.
- Only exceptional materials are used, depending on your budget and preferences, of course. That gold jewellery you want, for instance, can be made with the best purity and quality marks.
- The finest techniques are used to deliver a piece that exceeds standards and longevity. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, custom pieces are made with the highest level of craftsmanship and durability.
Greater Value
When it comes to branded items, you’re paying more for the brand than the item’s quality and true value. With custom pieces, you get higher value for the cost.
- No markup is involved since you’re creating them yourself. Or, you can commission a bespoke piece from a provider that offers a reasonable pricing structure.
- Since an item is made to your standards, materials are sourced to your budget and the level of craftsmanship and service you expect from your chosen jeweller.
- Bespoke jewellery is considered most cost-efficient since you can easily adjust the design, budget, or materials if and when necessary.
Room for Repurposing
If you have old pieces that you rarely use because they’re outdated or damaged, it can be repurposed so their sentimental value is preserved.
- Custom jewellery allows you to repurpose old jewels or heirloom pieces so you can use them again or make them suitable for the times.
- They can be combined with newer items or different jewellery to create something brand new. Why stop at a new ring setting when you can make charm bracelets out of the stones from an heirloom piece, combined with other stones?
While it’s convenient to buy jewellery from a store, creating one from scratch is more meaningful and fulfilling, especially if you make it yourself. The level of personalisation you can enjoy makes the entire process fun, too. If you want the full jewellery-making experience, check out Nova Collection’s courses and workshops.
