Got it – no more locking you into 14k on this page. Here’s a revised version with flexible metals (gold, different karats, silver, etc.) and the same digestible style, plus an updated excerpt at the end.
Custom Jewelry Design in Los Angeles
Custom jewelry should feel like it was built for you, not pulled from a catalog.
At Source Jewelry in Los Angeles, we design and manufacture custom pieces in-house—from first sketch to finished metal.
What Custom Jewelry Means Here
When we say “custom,” we mean:
-
built to your exact ring, pendant, earring, etc size and measurements
-
designed around your actual stones or stones we source
-
engineered in CAD instead of guessed from a rough drawing
-
cast, set, and finished in fine metals in our Los Angeles workshop
You see the design before it’s made. We handle the engineering so it lasts.
What We Design
We create:
-
engagement rings and wedding bands
-
anniversary rings and eternity bands
-
pendants, studs, and hoops
-
redesigns and upgrades of older pieces
-
matching sets (ring + band + earrings or pendant)
If you have a photo, an heirloom, or an idea in your head, we can build it.
Our Custom Design Process
1. Conversation & Concept
We start with what you want:
-
style references or photos
-
metal preferences (gold in various karats, silver, or a mix)
-
your budget and timeline
We plan the structure so the piece is both beautiful and practical for everyday wear.
2. CAD Design & 3D Preview
Next, we build a detailed CAD model:
-
exact ring size and proportions
-
precise stone layout and setting style
-
band width, profile, and inside comfort fit
From this model, we generate realistic 3D renders so you can see the piece from every angle and request adjustments before anything is cast.
3. 3D Printing & Casting
Once you approve the design:
-
We 3D print a high-resolution wax or resin model.
-
That model goes through the lost-wax casting process in your chosen metal.
-
The casting is cleaned, assembled, and prepared for stones.
This keeps what you approved on screen and what you receive in hand as close as possible.
4. Stone Setting, Finishing & Inspection
Our bench jewelers then:
-
set each stone by hand
-
refine prongs, galleries, and profiles
-
polish the piece through multiple stages
Every piece is checked under magnification for:
-
secure prongs and tight settings
-
clean lines and symmetry
-
smooth, comfortable edges with no snag points
Only after that does it leave the workshop.
Custom Jewelry for Private Clients
For private clients, we focus on:
-
one-of-a-kind engagement rings and bands
-
upgrades and remakes of older designs
-
turning loose stones into finished jewelry
You deal directly with the people actually building your piece in Los Angeles—not a middleman sending work out to unknown factories.
B2B: Custom Manufacturing for Jewelry Stores & Designers
We also manufacture custom jewelry B2B at wholesale for:
-
independent jewelry stores
-
online retailers
-
designers who need a reliable production partner
What we offer:
-
CAD development from your sketches or references
-
prototyping, master models, and production runs
-
consistent casting, setting, and finishing in your specified metals
-
white-label manufacturing so everything goes out under your brand
Because we control design and production under one roof, we maintain tight control over quality, timelines, and repeatability across reorders.
Why Work With a Los Angeles Custom Workshop?
-
Direct access to the LA jewelry district and its resources
-
Fast communication and clear technical feedback
-
Third-generation jewelers who understand both design and manufacturing
You aren’t guessing—you’re working with the people who actually build your jewelry.
How to Start Your Custom Project
To begin a custom piece or production run:
-
Share your idea, photos, or an existing piece.
-
We outline design options, metal choices, pricing, and timeline.
-
Once you approve the CAD design, we move straight into casting and finishing.
Whether you’re a client wanting a single ring or a jeweler needing a steady manufacturing partner, our Los Angeles workshop is set up to handle it with precision.
