A Quick Guide to Bespoke Diamonds

The context of bespoke in natural diamonds is no different than its general context. Bespoke means something that is custom made.
Simply put, bespoke diamonds refer to personalized diamond jewellery that is made on-demand.
Now, there are various reasons why one might spend the extra buck to get diamond jewelry customized. Let’s go through them quickly.
Every diamond retailer keeps an inventory that is meant to appeal to a wide range of customers. It is rare for them to have jewellery pieces that are truly scarce.
Considering that diamonds are an emotional purchase above anything else, it makes sense to look for something special that is not available to everyone.
Let’s say you don’t care about owning something that nobody else owns and that you don’t seek that type of social validation.
Still, bespoke diamonds can be a way of creative self-expression. Just like we design our homes to make it truly ours, customizing diamond jewellery is a language of art which speaks about your personal story.
Something that you did not buy off the shelf or purchase just because it was trending on the first page of a website, will not go out of style.
Nothing guarantees timelessness like a bespoke diamond. Since it is your personal design, it becomes immune to losing its charm over time.
It can be a true family heirloom that you can pass over generations and your art will live beyond your years.
Now that we know that the process of buying bespoke jewellery is different than that of simply walking into a store and choosing a design, let’s understand how to do it.
However, do not be daunted by the thought of it. The experience of customized jewellery making is something you can look forward to. If you choose the right people for the job, it will be a smooth-sailing ship you wouldn’t want to get off.
A gentle reminder that a diamond is truly forever. Therefore it is advisable to have a clear idea of what you want the final product to look like.
You don’t want to be going back and forth on your ideas and making decisions on the go.
Educate yourself on choosing the right diamond if you are a novice here. Understand 4Cs and the 5th C that is certification. More details here on our blog.
Here’s the fun part. Choose the metal that will be the base of your natural diamond setting. There are many options like Platinum, White Gold, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold. You can even combine the metals for a distinctive look.
Next, you have to choose the diamond shape and size that you want set in the jewellery. Every diamond shape has a symbolism attached to it which you can factor in for creating a deeper meaning to your design.
Or you can simply go with what you like and what looks best on you.
You have a multitude of options with choosing the diamond setting. It can be the classic solitaire setting, three-stone setting, pave setting and so on.
Even though there are not many rules to it, you can take the help of a professional jewellery designer to assist you along the way.
Usually you would be offered a 3D view of what the bespoke jewellery will look like. Be careful at this stage and ensure everything is made to your liking and your budget.
Switch around something if you feel the need to and approve the final look before it goes into production.
Natural diamonds are special because they are created without any human intervention.
