How custom made jewellery is different from designer jewellery

Fine jewellery is incomplete without the mention of designer jewellery and custom made precious accessories. Both have their own place in the world of jewellery. These, however, are a tad different from each other. Let’s find out how.

a.      Designer jewellery has no say of customer in the final design

The designers use their jewellery collection to be the expression of their sensibilities and understanding of the market. In the process, the personalization quotient in designing a jewellery piece may be lost. And, they just produce a line having a distinct characteristic; the marketing professionals do the rest for presenting it as something made just for the customers they are targeting.

Custom made jewellery, unlike designer jewellery, offers the customer a chance to give inputs about the final design. The customers have an idea in their mind, which can be a filigree design, or just initials, amongst many. The design of custom jewellery is mostly quite unique and rare to find a match.

b.      Designer jewellery offers limited choices than custom made alternatives

The designer jewellery comes and goes like seasons. These are designed mostly around a prevalent trend. And these are made in limited numbers. There can be a possibility where the customers might not like anything from the display at the showroom.

Custom made alternatives have no end. The buyer simply goes to the maker with a thought or shows a part of the existing design. Then, some more additions like gemstones, initials or figurines too are thrown in to integrate into the design. The overall result is more impactful, one of its kind and fully personalized. Since makers are simply bringing the customer’s ideas into form, even they never feel restricted in terms of creativity.

c.       Independence of choosing charms adds more excitement to the buying of custom made jewellery

Some buyers want to get figurine, according to the religious beliefs, added to the design. This is one of the most common charms used. But, there are other charms like an arrow, dolphin, heart, name initials, favourite flower and bells and so on that customers can pick to include in the design when they get the jewellery custom made. Such flexibility of choice is certainly missing in designer jewellery.

So, if you are buying jewellery for special occasions like a wedding or birthdays or getting the ring designed to propose to the lady love, befriend the jewellery maker in advance. It helps in getting a custom made charm jewellery piece exactly the way you want. Designer jewellery is a great choice when you have lack of time or you fall short on ideas.
