Custom Design | From Concept to Unique Piece
Every piece of jewelry has a story. Let me help you tell yours!
Juvelan offers you a comprehensive service for designing personal and unique pieces of jewelry that reflect your individual style and taste. In close consultation and collaboration, I, Johan Vandamme, will work with you step by step to create the jewelry you've always dreamed of.
And this is how it works - you are only five steps away from your new favorite piece of jewelry:
Step 1 | Our journey begins
It is my great pleasure to accompany you on the way to your new unique piece of jewelry. No matter whether you are looking for a special engagement ring, unique wedding rings, a very personal gift for a loved one or a distinctive piece of jewelry for yourself. In order to fulfill your wishes in the best possible way, please tell me in advance in this form in as much detail as possible how you imagine your individual piece of jewelry and what you associate with it.
Step 2 | Your personal consultation
Before the design process, I would like to get to know you and your vision better. As soon as I have received your request, I will contact you promptly to arrange a meeting - in person or virtually. We'll take the time to have an in-depth consultation together, where details and open questions are clarified and we can make sure we're on the same page in terms of collaboration, timeline and budget.
Step 3 | The design of your piece of jewelry
Once we have jointly determined the design direction, materials and any gemstones, I begin the creative process. Depending on the design, I work with my team to create CAD designs or detailed sketches and personally select the perfect diamonds and gemstones for your piece of jewelry - always keeping your preferences, budget and timeline in mind. Once you agree with the design and are 100% happy, a deposit of 65% of the total price is due - you pay the remaining amount when the piece of jewelry is finished.
Step 4 | The production of your unique piece
Step 5 | Your jewelry is now yours - forever!
I love this last step the most: your piece of jewelry is finished and you can either pick it up in person at our JUVELAN store in Stuttgart or we can send it to you by post. Working together on an individual, custom-made piece of jewelry is always a very personal, special experience for me and if you would like to send me a photo of the finished piece of jewelry with its new owner, I would be very happy.

FAQ Custom-made jewelry
Do you have questions about our made-to-measure jewelry?
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions. Your question is not listed? Then please write me an e-mail.
How much does a custom design cost?
Custom-made designs are available from 2000€. The final price for your custom piece of jewelry depends on the metal used and the gemstones included in the design.
How long does it take?
On average, you should allow 8-9 weeks from the initial consultation to the finished piece of jewelry. Depending on the design and complexity, such as the sourcing of gemstones, my recommendation is to contact me around 3 months in advance. If you need your piece of jewelry on a fixed date, please contact me - in most cases we will find a solution.
What materials are used?
We work with 14 and 18-carat yellow, red and white gold, as well as platinum. The piece of jewelry is stamped accordingly.
Unfortunately, we cannot produce custom-made pieces in sterling silver.
We are getting married and would like to have customized wedding rings...
Congratulations! I can't wait to design the perfect wedding rings for you and your partner. Ideally, you should make an appointment with me 3-9 months before the wedding.
You can find all the information HERE
I need my tailor-made piece of jewelry very soon, is that possible?
The short answer is: Yes! I always do my best to keep to your schedule. Whether this is possible depends largely on the gemstones required and the complexity of the design. There is a charge for rush orders.
What kind of jewelry can I have made?
We mainly design all types of rings, such as unique engagement or wedding rings, but we can also design pendants, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Just fill out the form HERE and tell me your wish.
Where is my custom jewelry made?
Your piece of jewelry will be completely handcrafted in Germany by the best of the best. We work with some of the most renowned goldsmiths, stone setters, casters and other experts in the jewelry industry to guarantee the highest quality of your piece of jewelry.
I don't live in Stuttgart, can I still work with you?
Yes, of course! We can work together on your jewelry project via email and video calls, no matter where you are in the world. After completion, we will be happy to send you your piece of jewelry insured by post.
Can the ring size be changed afterwards if it doesn't fit?
Most rings can be resized without any problems. Every ring custom-made by JUVELAN can be resized up to two sizes free of charge once within six months of receipt. If a ring needs to be altered by more than two sizes, we will check the additional work involved and whether additional material needs to be used, which we will then charge you for.
For some rings, e.g. memoire rings, models with many diamonds and gemstones on the band, or rings with several gold colors, a subsequent size change is unfortunately not possible. I therefore recommend making a personal appointment with me for such models or being absolutely sure of the ring size you require.
Can I see examples of your custom-made rings?
Of course! HERE you can find a selection of our creations so far.
Can I have my ring engraved?
Yes, you can have (almost) anything you want engraved on the inside or even the outside of the ring.
What is the difference between a custom-made piece of jewelry and a "one-of-a-kind" piece?
Custom-made jewelry is individually designed and handcrafted according to your wishes and ideas. We use your preferred metals and gemstones, which we select together during the process. "One-of-a-kind" jewelry is designed by me, creative director Johan Vandamme, according to my ideas and handmade as a unique piece in our Stuttgart studio or by our master goldsmiths in Pforzheim. So there is no such thing as a duplicate. These pieces of jewelry are the perfect choice if you don't want to design your own piece of jewelry, but are still looking for a special one-off piece for your personal jewelry collection or as a gift.
What if I don't like the finished piece of jewelry?
We work very closely with you throughout the process to ensure that the jewelry is exactly what you want. Each step in the design process is presented to you for approval and must be approved by you before we move forward. So there are guaranteed to be no surprises at the end - except for the fact of how beautiful your custom piece of jewelry will look when it's finished!
