By Lora Jones


Jewels are precious possessions worn either on the neck, arms or fingers. Traditionally, they were usually worn by those with wealth and power. The trend is different today as jewels are can be used by anyone for beauty. They are created from a variety of materials and also in varying designs. Custom designed jewelry are normally those pieces that have been cut, mound and joined together according to the specifications of a client.

Creation of customized jewelry is done using unique and personal designs. Different materials are also needed for this purpose. The main goal is to produce personalized creations that fit to the description and the needs of the client. Materials used for this production vary widely hence the need to research extensively so as to ensure that the intended jewelry is realized.

Preparations for designing starts with a creation draft of the required image or design. A consideration for the materials to be used should be taken into account at this point. This is because materials have different properties in terms of their weight and durability. The cost of these materials also varies accordingly. These properties necessitate different handling and preparation tools as well as methods.

Jewelry can be created by use of various materials. The choice is highly determined by the cost of the materials and the ease in searching for them. Precious stones and gems including gold, diamond and bronze among others are the most expensive. Bones, skins, husks, and teeth from animals can also be used and are relatively cheaper. All these materials require proper preparation before they can be used. Others include dry seeds and plastics.

They can be used as gifts, to mark special occasions or for beautification purposes. Couples preparing for weddings can have their rings customized by inscribing them with their names or their wedding dates. Therefore one can customized them according to their liking.

Jewels can be created at home by use of locally available materials. For example; simple rings and necklaces made of beads and dry seeds can be easily joined using a needle and thread. These can then be used at home as birthday presents or gifts for certain occasions. There are others that are created by weaving and application of simple joinery techniques.

There are various professional craftsmen who are available for creation of various designs. They operate shops from where they create the designs by use of special machines and equipments. Other craftsmen operate online shops from which orders can be placed for designing. They also provide information on the type of orders they can handle from these websites. Finished orders are then packaged and shipped to the respective clients. They can also be found locally from their shops or by sourcing their contacts from local directories.

The cost of creating custom designed jewelry varies widely and is mainly determined by the materials used. Sourcing for precious metals such as gold is highly expensive; meaning the jewel created using this material will be equally expensive. It will also involve crafting process that is technical and requires a lot of skills. On the other hand, using local dry seeds will require little or no cost to source. The mode of production will also vary greatly and so will be the total cost of the process.
