Custom work made through our own workshop, priced without the premium most stores charge for sending it out. Roughly twenty-five minutes from Athens.
At most stores a custom piece is designed in-house and manufactured by a trade shop, marked up twice. The manufacturing runs through my partner and me, so custom here costs close to ready-made.
Limestone County families bring me a lot of inherited stones. Taking a diamond out of a ring nobody wears and setting it in something worn daily is the best thing you can do with it.
A CAD rendering you approve from every angle before anything is cast. The moment to be picky is then, not when the box opens.
Custom makes sense when you want something specific and cannot find it — a setting built around an inherited stone, a band contoured to an existing ring, a piece remade from jewelry that is sitting unworn in a drawer.
Custom does not make sense when what you want already exists. If you describe a classic solitaire and that is genuinely what you want, I will tell you so and source one rather than charge you to design it. I would rather do the smaller job honestly.
Two trips, not five. Most custom pieces run a few weeks. If you are working toward a date, say so at the start and I will be straight about whether it fits.
Resizing, prong retipping, stone replacement and chain work — all handled here. Written appraisals for insurance and probate. And I buy luxury watches, diamond jewelry and estate collections if you are going the other direction.
Bring a written quote from another jeweler on comparable work and I will beat it or tell you I cannot.
