A lot goes into creating jewelry, such as stone, metal, and labor. It's even more true for custom jewelry creation because the piece is designed to fit your exact specifications. For better understanding, this summary will help you estimate the cost of such a project.

As a basis for a custom creation, you'll have to provide a picture, description, or an actual item to be used. These details include your preferred metal and gemstones. The designer then creates a Computer Aided Design (also known as "CAD") from the notes and sends it to you, the client, for approval.
After approval, the designer sends the 3D CAD file to a 3D printer which prints out the desired design in wax. The wax model will then be encased in plaster to form a mold. Finally, molten metal is used in the mold to cast your jewelry. The cost of jewelry varies depending on your metal of choice.
Sterling silver is the most affordable, and platinum the most expensive. The price of gold increases as the karats increase. The final stage is when the designer sets the necessary stones, enamels, and plates and polishes the jewelry to perfection before sending it to the client.
