A custom design is an original, it compliments the
wearer's unique and personal style.
Creating these unique designs starts with a customer's ideas,
their choice of metal and gemstone(s), their preference for a design
style and their desire to have an original piece of wearable art.
To be considered "custom jewelry design", the
piece can only be created one time. It is based on the jewelry designer's
creativity and the customer's vision. The finished piece is further
enhanced by the fine tuned skills of the jewelry artist.
The jeweler uses her artistry and experience in design and craftsmanship
to interpret and transform a vision into a unique piece of wearable
art.
"Handcrafted", "handmade" and "custom
made" jewelry is often a term used to promote sales of jewelry
which is actually manufactured in large runs and thousands of identical
pieces are sold.

jewelry", "custom design jewelry", "handmade

a kind or "custom" made".

Instead, they are created from molds, manufactured and created
many times in various metals and gemstones. It may be jewelry that
is assembled from various parts like beads, clasps and findings
and made from components where the gemstones are glued into pre
made ring, bracelet and pendant settings.
That isn't to say that these pieces can't be beautiful and carefully
made, they just aren't unique and, often, thousands of like pieces
are made and sold.
