Picture this: You’ve been searching for engagement rings, but you don’t feel confident that you can find the exact design you want with the traditional stone, metal, setting, and band combinations. You want your ring to be a one-of-a-kind reflection of your unique style and personality with custom design elements. Sound familiar? The truth is, your dream ring might not exist yet, and it’s up to you and a trusted designer to make it happen.
The modern bride knows that personalization is key at every step of wedding planning. Our CUSTOM process is a tailored jewelry design service that allows you to celebrate your individuality and express yourself through modern jewelry. Your experienced design team will turn your vision into a reality with creative touches such as engravings, gemstone or material selection, and unique design.
With thousands of options out there, we often get asked, what makes Uneek’s CUSTOM-Tailored designs services stand out? It’s not just the final piece that comes out one-of-a-kind; we personalize the whole design experience too!
C for Customer Intimacy
Your journey starts with a complimentary consultation that sets the standard for clear, frequent communication throughout the entirety of your CUSTOM design. Our inclusive, family-style approach allows us to place you at the center of the design process. We’ll anticipate your needs and intentionally foster a dialogue that shapes your one-of-a-kind experience from start to finish.
U for Uneek Expertise
Through continued education opportunities, we train our whole team to act and think like a designer. When you’re engaging with a Uneek team member—whether they’re a consultant, sales associate, marketing professional, polisher, or setter—they understand the design process completely. You can rest assured that we’re approaching each decision with industry expertise when it comes to personalizing your unique piece.
S for Sense of Urgency
Love doesn’t wait for anything, and no one knows this better than the Uneek team! Our design, consultation, and manufacturing departments are connected, so transferring information from idea to execution is seamless. We will typically deliver CAD renderings (more on those soon!) within 24-48 hours of placing your order, and, depending on the complexity of your custom piece, we will deliver your finished product within 2-3 weeks. We also have specific resources dedicated to our CUSTOM designs, so your piece will never take a backseat to any other manufacturing calendars.
T for Technological Advancements
We pair the industry’s leading technology with experienced designers to develop a precision model for your custom order. We leverage computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, a wax-carving machine, and various other state-of-the-art tools and equipment to bring your dream design to life. With the errors and inconsistencies of hand-carving eliminated, you end up with a perfect and symmetrical piece down to the most intricate detail.
O for Old-World Metalsmithing Disciplines
We incorporate centuries-old metalsmithing and stone-setting techniques to ensure meticulous quality control for your unique design. Our founding president and chief designer, Benjamin Javaheri, leads our manufacturing team with a legacy of four generations of family in the jewelry industry. Each step of the process is dictated by old-world methods to create an heirloom-worthy custom piece that will stand the test of time.
M for Made in the USA
Every step of our manufacturing process takes place in Los Angeles, California, providing jobs and benefits to American artisans. This local facility allows for faster turnaround times and avoids sending any priceless family gemstones overseas. From diamond cutting to mounting and everything in between, we can control the delicate manufacturing process and promise uncompromising commitment to quality and ethics through our GMP compliant operations.
