Your custom jewelry can also be personalized with engraving, for example, to make the meaningful piece even more special. Whatever vision you have for the piece, we can turn your concept into reality!
Custom Jewelry Process
The Vinciguerra Jewelers team works with you to craft unique jewelry and custom rings through a leading design software called Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). It allows us to design and manufacture fine jewelry with extreme precision. Our custom jewelry process is as follows:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
When you visit our St. Louis jewelry store for an initial consultation, our jewelry specialists will listen to your vision and provide expert guidance throughout the process. Feel free to bring images or drawings as inspiration, but we’d be happy to help you develop the custom jewelry piece from scratch.
We’ll discuss the shape, carat weight, and other relevant factors if diamonds are incorporated into the design. We can also assist you in selecting a different gemstone, or include a family heirloom stone.
Step 2: Digital Rendering
Once we have all the relevant information for your custom jewelry piece, our experts will create a digital rendering using our CAD/CAM software. When you visit our store to view the accurate mock-up of your custom engagement ring or other piece, you can request any changes. It’s our goal to ensure your jewelry is exactly what you had envisioned, with all design aspects taken into account.
Step 3: Wax Model
Upon your design approval, we’ll create a wax model of the mock-up using our CAD/CAM software. Think of this step as similar to 3D printing. The wax model is then used as a mold for the metal of your choice.
Step 4: Metal Pour
Hot, melted metal is poured into the wax mold of your jewelry piece to create the desired shape. Then, the fun part begins! As the metal cools and hardens, the unfinished piece begins to form.
Step 5: Polishing
When the metal cools entirely, and the piece is removed from the wax mold, it won’t resemble the final result just yet. Our team will clean, polish, and refine to create the pristine brilliance you desire. For pieces that don’t have gemstones, the process is complete! Custom jewelry items that contain diamonds, sapphires, or other gems will require one final step.
Step 6: Stone Setting
Once polished, our stone setter places the diamond or gemstone within its setting by hand. Stone placement is an intricate process and requires the skill and expertise of a professional. After the stone is placed, your piece is finished! We’ll make the necessary sizing adjustments to your liking if modifications are needed.
