OUR PROCESS

Every custom piece begins with a story. Whether you’re redesigning an existing ring, creating something entirely new, or honoring someone you love, our process is designed to guide you from idea to heirloom — with care, transparency, and intention.

Raw Casting for Custom ring design

STARTING A CUSTOM ORDER

Custom doesn't have to be complicated. Our process begins with a conversation, not a commitment.

To start, email Email Support@Tempusmetals.com with:

  • inspirational images or sketches
  • sizing details (if known)
  • metal preferences (gold color, karat, etc.)
  • any stones, material, or sentimental elements you'd like incorporated

From there, we'll review your ideas, ask thorough follow-up questions, and provide a personalized quote based on your design, materials, and timeline.

If you're unsure about details, that's okay. Guiding you through those decisions is part of our role.

THE CUSTOM JOURNEY

THE DESIGN PROCESS

Once we align on the overall direction, we translate your ideas into a detailed 3D CAD model. This allows you to see proportions, setting style, and overall form before anything is made.

You’ll receive photo-realistic renderings for review, and we’ll refine the design together until it feels exactly right.

Main Takaways:

  • Adjustments are expected and welcomed
  • Nothing moves forward without your approval
  • This step ensures clarity before craftsmanship begins

This collaborative design stage is what transforms an idea into a piece that feels unmistakably yours.

JEWELRY PRODUCTION

After final design approval, your piece enters production. Each custom piece is hand-cast, assembled, set, engraved, and polished by our master goldsmiths using time-honored techniques.

We work in precious metals only and never rush this stage. Every detail — from stone placement to surface finish — is handled with precision and care.

Before leaving our studio, each piece undergoes a meticulous inspection to ensure structural integrity, comfort, and lasting beauty.

This is where craftsmanship turns design into a lasting heirloom.

YOUR FINISHED PIECE

And finally, it’s time to pick up your finished piece. After the ideas, design work, and craftsmanship that went into bringing it to life, you get to see the finished jewelry in person for the first time. From the initial concept to the final polish, every detail was created specifically for you. Now, it’s ready to leave the Tempus Metals studio and become part of your collection.

"WHY CUSTOM?"


Custom jewelry gives you control over the details that actually matter — design, materials, symbolism, and fit — instead of settling for something made to appeal to everyone. A ready-made piece can be beautiful, but a custom design reflects your specific story and priorities.
