There’s something to be said about wearing a piece of jewelry that is unlike any other in the world. Custom made jewelry gives you the opportunity to have something created that you’ve only dreamed about. H. Williams Jewellery in Hamilton can help you make those dreams come true.
“If customers want something that’s unique and can’t find it, then they come to see us,” says Glen Watts of H.Williams Jewellery.
Custom made jewelry also enables you to incorporate pieces of existing jewelry into new items. Whether you’ve lost an earring, have a ring that you’d like redesigned or you have loose stones you’d like to incorporate into a new setting, custom designed jewelry is a great choice.
So what are the steps of having a piece of jewelry custom made? The experience begins by visiting the jeweler with an idea of what you’d like. Or if you’re not quite sure, Watts recommends looking at existing jewelry in the showcase to determine what components and designs you like. Once the customer knows exactly what they want, the European trained goldsmiths at H.Williams Jewellery create a conceptual drawing of the piece.
“From there, we make a wax model that is an exact replica of what the piece will look like,” explains Watt. If it’s a ring, the wax model can be tried on to ensure the size of the ring is accurate and it’s exactly what the customer envisioned. The next step is creating a rough gold cast. The model is then finished by placing the stones and polishing the piece to perfection. When the customer is completely satisfied, they walk happily away with a piece of jewelry that no one else in the world has.
