How to Commission an Original piece of Jewellery


Author: Ian Tubby


Commissioning an original piece of fine jewellery is the perfect solution when:




  • you want a really special gift for a special occasion


  • you know exactly what you want but can't find it anywhere


  • you want to be certain of owning – or giving – a unique piece of jewellery


Asking a skilled jeweller to make a one-off design enables you to obtain a piece that's pleasing in every detail. It's usually a straightforward process, but if you've never commissioned a piece of jewellery it helps to know what to expect at each stage.



Find the right jeweller



You'll need to contact a professional jeweller who hand crafts jewellery to his or her own designs and is willing to accept commissions. If you don't know of any in your area try looking in local directories or doing an Internet search.



When you've found a few promising jewellers see if you like their work. Some jewellers specialise in using certain materials, or in making particular types of jewellery, that might not be what you are looking for. Anyone who works to commission will also be happy to show you their portfolio of past work to give you an idea of their expertise.



Discuss the commission



When you have decided which jeweller you want to commission, make an appointment to discuss your ideas. The jeweller will need to know what type of piece you want, the materials to be used, the size of the finished piece and the overall design you have in mind. If you want something made to your own design, most jewellers will be able to work from your drawing or perhaps a photograph of a motif you want to be included.



If you only know that you want an unusual necklace for a birthday present, or a ring incorporating a favourite gemstone, the jeweller will suggest design options and explain what materials might be suitable. If you want jewellery that will be worn with a wedding dress, or some other special outfit, it will help if you can supply pictures of the garment and perhaps a fabric sample if colour matching will be important.



The jeweller will also need to know your budget and if the jewellery is required by a certain date. The time your piece will take to make will depend on its complexity, whether any materials have to be ordered in, and if precious metals need to be sent to an assay office for hallmarking. If you have a fixed deadline the more notice you can give the jeweller the better.



Approve the design



When the jeweller has completed the design you will be asked to approve it – or request alterations if necessary. It's much easier and cheaper to change a design than the finished piece. At this time the jeweller should be able to give you a firm price for the piece and might ask for a deposit, especially if expensive materials have to be bought.




The making stage



When you have agreed all the details, the jeweller will begin making your commissioned piece of jewellery. He or she will want to keep in touch with you just in case there are any unforeseen delays or they need to confirm any aspect of the design.




Take delivery of your jewellery



The jeweller will let you know when your piece is finished. If you have used a local jeweller it's best to collect your jewellery in person so you can examine it, try it on if you are going to be the wearer, and make sure it's perfect. If this is inconvenient, you can ask for the jewellery to be sent to you by registered post.



Commissioning an original piece of jewellery isn't complicated, or as expensive as some people imagine. If you want to know more have a chat with a local qualified jeweller who makes jewellery as well as selling it.

4 Cs of Diamonds - The Secret to Diamond Appraisal


Author: Hary Markus


The secret behind the appraisal of any diamond lies in what is referred to as "the 4 Cs", namely Carat, Cut, Clarity and Color. These 4 Cs will assure that you know exactly what you are getting in a diamond and once you embrace them and use them to make your purchase, getting a nice bargain becomes a lot easier.


Carat is the first attribute that is used to calculate the quality and value of a diamond. It refers to the weight and therefore the size of a diamond. It is the measure of the mass of a diamond with 1 carat equal to 200 milligrams. It is further subdivided into 100 decimal points to make up 1 carat. This unit of measurement is unique to precious gemstones and is often confused with size even though it is actually a measure of weight.


Cut is the second attribute determining the quality and value of a diamond. Although most often people refer to cut as diamond shapes, being a round brilliant or a fancy shape, the real analysis of the cut refers to the proportions, finish, symmetry, and polish of the diamond. These factors determine the fire and brilliance of a diamond which are crucial in the overall appraisal.


Color is the next attribute in the 4 Cs equation. It refers to the perceived color or more precisely lack of color in a diamond. With the exclusion of "fancy colored diamonds", the more colorless the diamond is, the more valuable it is. Diamonds within this colorless range are the most rare and valuable of all the colors.


Clarity is the last of the 4 Cs and refers to the lack of or presence of internal and external imperfections as seen under 10x magnification. Because diamonds are crystallised carbon atoms under immense pressure and temperature, almost all diamonds contain minute traces of non-crystallized carbon or small non-diamond crystals. The number, size, location and nature of these imperfections found will determine the clarity grade pertaining to the diamond. Regarding the appraisal of the particular stone, the fewer imperfections found, the more valuable it will be.


Combining these 4 attributes together will enable the appraisal of any loose diamond or even a jewelry item which is set with diamonds. The "Rapaport Price List" has set the standard when applying the 4 Cs and experts worldwide in the jewelry industry refer to this list as the benchmark of diamond appraisal.

There are two basic types of Diamond Necklaces: the full diamond necklace and the diamond pendant necklace.


Diamond necklaces feature single or multiple diamonds which are attached or set in the links of a chain which encircles the neck. The diamonds can also be interwoven with the strands of gold or platinum forming the chain and set in such a way that they make up the links of the chain itself. Diamonds are available in the form of collars and chain which can be designed in a variety of styles. Diamond necklaces are expensive compared to diamond pendants.


The second type of diamond necklace is the pendant type for which a small piece of jewellery is hung from a separate chain. Because the pendant is not part of the chain it can be easily transferred from one chain to another chain. It also has different styles and lengths of chain. There are many different types and styles of pendants available in the market. Compared to others Heart diamond pendants are especially popular also these can come in other shapes and variety of styles. They tend to be cheaper than full diamond necklaces.
