Crafting a unique piece of custom jewelry involves a meticulous process, a fine blend of artistic vision, and skilled craftsmanship, that we at Paul Bensel Jewelers have refined over our 40 years of dedication to the art. Here, we guide you through the journey that transforms your imagination into a tangible piece of beauty.

01
Conceptualization
Your vision is our inspiration. We begin by understanding your ideas and preferences, whether it's a particular aesthetic you've admired in another piece or a unique design you've dreamt of. Perhaps there's a ring whose side view you adore, and another one with a top view that caught your eye - we bring together these elements to create a design that is uniquely yours. Once we've captured the essence of your vision, we provide an estimated cost range based on the anticipated labor and materials. Upon your approval, we take a deposit and set the wheels in motion.
Design Renderings and Models
This design is brought to life through detailed renderings and a physical model, created using cutting-edge Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. We warmly welcome our clients to visit us in-store to view these, but if that's not possible, we're happy to email the renderings and ship the model to you.
The next step is a discussion about your impressions of the model and renderings. We address your queries, note your likes and dislikes, and understand what alterations, if any, need to be incorporated. If the design meets your approval, we proceed with crafting your piece in the precious metal of your choice. If changes are required, we modify the design, show you updated renderings, and provide a new model. This process continues until you're completely satisfied with the design and confident about the final piece.

Crafting Your Custom Piece
Our primary method is the traditional lost wax casting. Post-casting, your piece finds its way to the bench of one of our highly skilled goldsmiths. This artisan is solely responsible for the remaining steps - polishing the casting, setting diamonds or gemstones as required, and applying the final finishing touches.
The entire process is a labor of love, with our goldsmith pouring their heart and soul into perfecting your piece. This individual attention to detail and commitment to quality ensures that your custom jewelry will be nothing less than a masterpiece.
At the end of this journey, you will hold in your hands a piece of jewelry that is not just custom-made, but a perfect reflection of your vision, crafted to perfection and ready to adorn.
Typically, this process spans four to eight weeks, ensuring the meticulous attention to detail that every piece deserves. However, if you have a specific deadline, we do offer expedited services to cater to your needs. Come, embark on this journey of creation with us at Paul Bensel Jewelers.
