There are moments when an “off-the-shelf” piece of jewelry simply isn’t enough. When you want to mark a special moment, commemorate a memory, or simply own something no one else has — that’s when custom jewelry design comes into play. At Gindi Gold, five generations of goldsmiths turn ideas into jewelry, and here we’ll tell you exactly how the process works — step by step.
Why Choose Custom Design?
- Absolute uniqueness — a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, designed especially for you.
- Personal meaning — you can incorporate a date, name, coin, stone, or symbol that’s dear to you.
- Perfect fit — exactly your size, style, and budget.
- Legacy — a piece created to be passed down through generations.
Step 1: The Idea — Where to Begin
It all starts with a conversation. You come in with an idea, a picture you liked, a story, or an occasion (engagement, anniversary, birth, bar mitzvah). You don’t need to know exactly what you want — we’re here to help shape your dream into a clear direction.
Step 2: Sketch and Design
Our team translates the idea into a sketch and precise design. You’ll see what the piece will look like, and we’ll refine the details together — shape, proportions, stone setting — until you fall in love with the result on paper.
Step 3: Selecting Materials and Stones
Now you choose the soul of the piece: the gold color (yellow, white, or rose), the karat (14K/18K), and the type of stones — natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, or gemstones. We’ll explain each option and how it affects the appearance and price.
Step 4: Handcrafted Production
This is where the magic happens. Our goldsmiths — a tradition spanning five generations — handcraft the piece at our workshop in Kfar Chabad. Every detail is crafted with care, precision, and love for the craft.
Step 5: Finishing and Delivery
After polishing, inspection, and final cleaning — the piece is ready. You receive a unique creation, polished and perfect, made just for you.
How Long Does It Take and How Much Does It Cost?
The timeframe depends on complexity — typically anywhere from a few days to several weeks. As for price: custom design doesn’t have to be more expensive than a ready-made piece; it’s built around your budget, and you pay for what truly matters to you. At the consultation, we provide a transparent price estimate upfront.
Special Example: Rebbe Coin Design
One of our favorite requests is turning a coin into jewelry — for example, custom jewelry design for a Rebbe coin. It’s a perfect example of how an object with emotional value becomes a piece worn close to the heart.
In Conclusion
Custom jewelry is not just an object — it’s your story, in the hands of goldsmiths who have been doing this for generations. If you have an idea, we know how to make it real.
