Bringing Your Vision to Life
Jewellery is more than just an accessory—it tells a story, symbolizes important moments, and reflects personal style. While mass-produced pieces can be beautiful, they often lack the unique touch that makes jewellery truly meaningful. That’s why many people choose custom jewellery in Edmonton.
At Vandenbergs, we believe that custom jewelry should reflect your vision and be brought to life with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our team of skilled designers, goldsmiths, and gemologists works together to ensure that every piece is crafted with precision and care. From the first consultation to the final presentation, we make the custom jewelry process an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Why Choose Custom Jewellery?
Choosing custom jewellery means investing in something truly unique. Whether it’s an engagement ring, a gift for a loved one, or a personal piece to cherish forever, custom jewellery gives you full control over the design, materials, and craftsmanship.
One of the biggest advantages of custom jewellery is its sentimental value. Unlike store-bought jewellery, which is often mass-produced, a custom piece is designed with a personal touch, making it an heirloom-quality treasure. Additionally, custom jewellery offers endless design possibilities, allowing you to choose every detail, from the type of metal to the exact gemstones used.
Another benefit of choosing custom jewellery is the high level of craftsmanship. At Vandenbergs, our Master Goldsmiths bring years of experience and skill to each piece they create. Custom jewellery is often more durable and long-lasting with quality materials and expert techniques than mass-produced alternatives.
The Vandenbergs Custom Jewellery Process
Creating custom jewellery should be an exciting and collaborative journey. At Vandenbergs, we guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your vision is transformed into reality.
Step 1: Consultation – Crafting Your Vision
Every custom piece begins with a personalized consultation. During this meeting, we take the time to understand your style, preferences, and the story behind your jewellery. Whether you have a clear idea in mind or need guidance, our experienced designers will work with you to develop a concept that reflects your vision.
During the consultation, we explore various design options, discussing elements such as the type of metal, gemstones, and overall style. We also create on-the-spot sketches, allowing you to see a visual representation of your ideas.
Step 2: Gem Search – Finding the Perfect Stones
Once the design concept is established, we begin the gemstone selection process. With access to an extensive network of suppliers worldwide, we source only the finest diamonds and colored gemstones to match your design.
Our gemologists carefully inspect and hand-select each stone based on quality, color, cut, and clarity. Whether you’re looking for a rare sapphire, a classic diamond, or a vibrant emerald, we ensure that the gemstones chosen for your piece meet the highest standards. If you have a specific stone in mind, we will work to find the perfect match.
Step 3: Finalizing the Design – Bringing the Details Together
With the gemstones selected, we refine the design and present it to you for approval. Using CAD (computer-aided design) concepts, scale drawings, or watercolor renderings, we provide a detailed visualization of how your jewellery will look once completed.
This stage allows for any final adjustments or refinements to ensure that every aspect of the design is perfect, whether tweaking the shape of a setting or adjusting the arrangement of gemstones.
Step 4: Crafting – Where Artistry Meets Precision
Once the design is finalized, our Master Goldsmiths begin the crafting process. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, which is often assembled in factories, our custom pieces are handcrafted on-site by skilled artisans.
Using high-quality materials and expert techniques, our goldsmiths transform raw metals and gemstones into stunning, wearable works of art. Every piece is carefully shaped, polished, and set with precision.
Step 5: Presentation – The Big Reveal
The final step in the custom jewellery journey is presenting your finished piece. Once your piece is complete, we conduct a thorough quality inspection to ensure it meets our high standards. We then invite you to view the finished piece and try it on for the first time.
If desired, we can provide appraisal services to certify the value of your custom jewellery. Should any minor adjustments be needed, we are happy to make refinements to ensure complete satisfaction.
