Custom Wedding Bands and Custom Engagement Rings 
We can create just about anything in the realm of custom jewelry, but custom engagement rings and custom wedding bands are two especially common requests. It's no wonder, since these are two of the most meaningful pieces of jewelry you will ever wear in your life!

Nothing can tell your unique love story quite like a ring you design yourself. Whether you would like matching wedding sets, men's wedding bands, women's wedding bands, or engagement rings, bring us your ideas! Let us work with you to create truly special rings for one of the most important days of your life.

Custom Jewelry Redesign and Restyling
Custom design can create something totally new, or it can breathe new life into old pieces. Maybe you've inherited some jewelry that means a lot to you, but doesn't quite suit your style. Maybe you have a once-loved piece of jewelry that's looking a bit worse for wear. Whatever you may need, we can help you through custom jewelry redesign and restyling.

Together, we will figure out which elements of the piece you would like to keep and which you would like to update. Then, our designers will get to work redesigning or restyling your piece to fit your specifications.

The Custom Jewelry Design Process
Custom Consultation
Whether you have a detailed vision or just a general sense of what you’d like to create, bring your ideas to us for a custom jewelry consultation. Tap into your creative side and work with our talented team to solidify your design! 

Custom Jewelry Sketch
A designer will start by sketching out your vision. You can work with the designer to make edits or add elements as you see fit. As they sketch out your design, you'll begin witnessing your vision come to life.

CAD and Wax Model Creation
Using cutting-edge technology, we can create a computer-aided draft of your custom jewelry, and then translate that into a wax model. The wax model provides a detailed, actual-sized preview of what your final piece will look like. You can come into the shop to look at the model and hold it in your hands.

Design Approval
The fourth–and most important–step is making sure that you love your custom jewelry! We’ll give you a chance to look at the model and make any last-minute adjustments. Once we finalize the design, you’ll be wearing your one-of-a-kind piece in no time!

Consider Custom Jewelry Design
Designing one-of-a-kind jewelry is a meaningful and rewarding process from start to finish. The next time you need some jewelry, why not create it yourself? Whether the piece is a gift or yours to keep, count on Carroll/Ochs Jewelers for custom jewelry near you.
