This Custom Fabricated Titanium Engagement Ring ring represents another example of what sets Custom apart from our competition. Our willingness and ability to work with materials that other stores won’t touch, make us the exception in Charlotte, NC. The customer  for this project has a materials and design background, and came to us with what he wanted very clearly laid out. Titanium is a purposeful material. It’s light, strong, and non allergenic. Working with it requires a new set of of skills and experiences which makes it even more appealing to us.

This ring was fabricated , using saws, drills, files, and gravers, from an 8mm wide solid titanium wedding band, into the form you see below. It is set with a round sapphire and surrounded by a sterling silver bezel. The inside of the ring is hand engraved with a section of a topographical map. It represents a place that holds meaning for the couple, and because of the nature of the metal that it is engraved into, will never fade. As you can imagine, she said Yes! Congratulations guys. Custom gold, silver, and platinum jewelry, even Custom Fabricated Titanium Engagement Rings, we do it all.

We present you with our first Raw-Uncut natural Diamond and White Gold Engagement Ring. Sometimes we benefit from what we perceive as a fatal flaw of typical jewelry stores. The wonderful customers who commissioned this engagement ring had been dealing with another jewelry store. After 5 visits, numerous calls, and not getting what they where looking for at that store, they turned to Custom. We were shown examples of designs that the other store had tried to force on them. Typical of most stores, it was more than they wanted, an up-sell. At Custom, we are not here to up-sell you. We are here to give you what you want. No matter how obscure, or how difficult. We will  do our best to fulfill your wishes.

For this design the customer wanted something unique, something that she had never seen on anyone else. The basis of the design would be a raw, uncut diamond set in white gold. To compliment the natural, raw nature of the stone, the ring was carved from wax to resemble a terraced landscape. The top terraces are engraved to mimic the the natural graining that can be seen in the diamond itself. The results speak for themselves, a Raw-Uncut Natural Diamond and White Gold Engagement Ring in all it’s glory.

 

This tiny Red-Orange Songea Sapphire Teardrop Pendant is a truly stunning piece. Carved from wax and cast in rose gold, it houses shimmering red-orange songea sapphires, topped by a ring of small black diamonds.  The detail, in person, is amazing. This pendant and many other Custom™ pieces are on display at our jewelry store, Tuesdays through Saturdays. Stop in and see the Red-Orange Songea Sapphire Teardrop Pendant!
