The Bespoke Process
Custom Jewelry
A guided, collaborative design experience
At Nine Roses Jewelers, custom jewelry is a thoughtful process rooted in craftsmanship, transparency, and personal connection. Each piece is designed with intention — created to reflect your story and stand the test of time.
The Process:
Consultation & Vision
Every custom piece begins with a private one-on-one consultation. We discuss inspiration, stone preferences, timeline, and budget to ensure alignment before moving forward.
Design Phase
A $1,000 design deposit initiates the custom process and allows us to begin concept development and CAD preparation. This deposit is applied toward the final cost of your piece.
CAD & Refinement
You’ll receive a detailed CAD rendering of your design. We refine proportions and details collaboratively until the design feels just right.
Approval & Craftsmanship
Once the design is approved and final payment is completed, your piece moves into production. Each piece is handcrafted with precision and care by our trusted jewelers.
After finishing and quality review, your piece is prepared for pickup or delivery — designed to be worn, loved, and passed down.
Pricing & Timelines
Custom projects typically begin at $3,000+
Final pricing depends on materials, stones, and design complexity
Most pieces are completed within 8–12 weeks
We prioritize clear communication throughout the process so you always know what to expect.

Bespoke FAQ
How long does the process take?
This depends on the length of the design and sourcing stages. Generally, the back and forth lasts between 2 and 4 weeks depending on the complexity of the project, but it can take longer. Production takes up to 8 weeks, so we suggest giving yourself 3-5 months of time from start to finish, just to be safe. If you need your custom piece faster, let us know, and we can expedite the process for a fee.
How much do bespoke pieces cost?
Nine Roses bespoke engagement starts at $3,500. An idea may seem simple, but a lot goes into creating a one-of-a-kind piece, especially when done ethically and sustainably. We will absolutely let you know if your desired design cannot be created within your budget, and are happy to provide alternative ideas.
Can you use a stone I already have?
Yes! We love using heirloom stones. After your consultation, we will schedule a time for you to bring your stones into the studio, where we will examine them and let you know what we must do to make them work with your design idea. Please note we do not accept newly purchased diamonds or gemstones from other companies.
Can I trade my heirloom stones/gold for new materials?
No, we do not buy gold, diamonds, or other gemstones.
Will you copy a unique design I saw online?
No. As designers ourselves, we respect the work of our fellow artists. We welcome inspiration photos and ideas, but will never copy the work of another designer.
I want to melt down a sentimental piece and use the gold to create something new. Can you do that?
Unfortunately, no. We are working on making this service available, but it isn’t possible for us at this time.
Do you offer financing?
We offer 6, 12, and 18 month financing through Affirm.
What if I don’t like my final piece?
We do our best to ensure you will be blown away with your custom jewelry, and we will not begin production on your piece without your final design approval. Because we take these precautions, custom pieces are unable to be returned or refunded.
Do you have terms and conditions I can look over?
Yes, right here!
