Does custom jewelry cost more than mass-produced jewelry?
Most often, yes. Mass produced jewelry that you may find on the internet or in local stores has been designed and produced previous to you deciding you want a piece of jewelry. Odds are that same design has been sold to many different customers. Custom jewelry is designed, planned, and created at the time you decide you want it, for you alone. This process is obviously more costly than a mass-produced piece which will sell repeatedly. Also, our custom jewelry is finished to a obsessive perfection, whereas mass-producers generally cannot afford that extra finishing touch. Our jewelry is finished so that the prongs are smooth and strong, to not catch on clothing and to keep your jewels safe. Your choice of finish (high-polish, satin, sand-blast) is applied by hand, with the highest degree of scrutiny.
