The Custom Process
At Pavé, custom is our specialty. When it comes to the possibilities, there is no idea too elaborate, no dream too big. Whether your vision is to recreate a lost heirloom, recycle unworn jewelry into a new piece, or to make a meaningful design centered around something personal to you, our renowned team of designers and goldsmiths want to make that vision a reality. We always emphasize environmentally and ethically conscious practices, using responsibly sourced materials.
Our talented staff is ready to collaborate with you and turn your ideas into a special piece of handcrafted art.
Here at Pavé, we’re known for our love of color and have a wide selection of colored gemstones as well as rare colored diamonds. We also carry a large selection of fine white colorless diamonds in a variety of cuts, including antique and rose cut diamonds.
If we do not have the perfect diamond or gemstone in stock for you, we are happy to locate one from one of our trusted vendors. Then, our experienced design staff will lead you through the process of creating a design that reflects your unique style.
What to Expect from the Custom Design Process:
You will meet with a designer to develop a drawing (or “rendering”) of your design. The designer may explore with you the purpose for your design, any personal symbolism or your most-loved design styles. Then, you will go over metal type, gemstones, and components (chains, earring wires or mechanism, decorative clasps…the possibilities are endless!).
Then, if a wax model is part of your personal design process, we’ll carve one either by hand or by state-of-the-art CAD (computer aided design) depending upon the design requirements. Once the model is complete, we’ll show it to you to ensure correct fit and for your approval.
Finally, the wax is cast in the selected metal and hand-finished, followed by the setting of any gemstones.
