Can a Jeweller Make a Custom Ring?

As a well-respected local jeweller in Hertford, one of the most common questions we receive from our customers is whether we can make a wholly original custom-made ring from scratch. This is hardly a surprise, since rings are often bought to commemorate a special occasion—be it an engagement, a wedding, a milestone birthday, or an anniversary. In these circumstances, the person gifting the ring doesn’t want to buy something off the shelf—they want a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery that means something specific to them and the recipient.

At Chapter 79, we’re not just purveyors of existing pieces. We have our own purpose-built workshop on the premises, where our team of designers and craftspeople can make beautiful custom rings for any occasion.

In this blog, we’re going to explain the process for you, so you can see how simple it is to get a stunning ring that is as unique as the person you’re buying it for.

Original Ring Design

Perhaps you already have a vision in your head of what you want your ring to look like. Our skilled designers can sit down with you to discuss the various elements that you want to bring to the piece and the story that you’re hoping to tell. They will have certain suggestions they want to make, so you can benefit from their decades of relevant, hands-on experience in their craft, but the final decision is ultimately yours.

The design will start out as a series of concept sketches, where you can see your initial idea come to life. Once you’ve settled on a particular design, this will be transformed into a 3D computer image that you can view from any angle. This will give you a feel for what the finished product will look like before the jeweller gets to work.

Quality Materials

An important consideration for any custom ring is what it’s going to be made of. You need to decide what metal best suits the design, as well as the particular gemstones you want to set into the ring itself. Here at Chapter 79, our skilled jewellers will be happy to help you make these all-important decisions.

Bespoke Ring Remodelling

Sometimes a custom ring isn’t just creating a new piece of jewellery from scratch. Sometimes it involves repurposing an existing ring. Perhaps it’s a family heirloom passed down from mother to daughter, or father to son, for generations that you want to give a new lease on life. Maybe it was an old favourite that has become damaged or worn over the years. It might even be a piece of vintage jewellery that has no personal significance, but you just love the look of it.

Whatever its provenance, our talented jewellers can take elements of the old ring and incorporate them into the new design. This could be as simple as transferring the stones from one to the other, or as complicated as replicating the shape or etched design of the original. With the right jeweller, anything is possible, creating a remarkable custom ring that binds the past with the present.
