Custom Jewelry From Thailand

   The need for custom jewelry is felt by many jewelry lovers. There are many specific cases where ready made jewelry cannot fulfill requirements. For example, you might love a cross pendant but find it to be too large for your liking. Most jewelers would not be able to produce a custom cross pendant for you. This is because custom jewelry requires a lot of production facilites and skilled craftsmen. Most jewelers stock a standard set of jewels that they borrow on consignment from larger jewelry houses. The person who talks to you in such jewelry shops might no nothing about jewelry production and the processes involved. Take a look at the RG150 three gemstone ring on this page. This silver ring is shown with an iolite gem stone in the center and citrine on the sides. If we were talking about true custom jewelry, this ring could be ordered in gold or sterling silver, in all ring sizes and with gemstones of your choice. Customization of jewelry involves more than a mere ring re-sizing or making, some minor adjustments on an existing jewel. True custom jewelry would allow you complete freedom in terms of design, metal, gemstone, finishing and dimensions. Given this high level of flexibility, few jewelers care to provide custom jewelry according to buyer preference. Readymade jewelry is made to please mass markets with low price tags. Cheaper prices cannot come without a quality compromise. If you are not willing to compromise on quality, custom jewelry is your only option. Kaisilver is regarded as the world's leading online custom jewelry provider. A glimpse into this jewelry provider, reveals strong connections to global gem stone miners. A production base that comprises of over 3,500 skilled craftsmen and a designing team that includes 7 top notch designers from 5 nations. Not many jewelers can boast of these resources, this explains the virtual monopoly of Kaisilver in the global custom jewelry segment.

Custom jewelry is more than rings, it includes custom pendants, custom cufflinks, custom bangles, custom bracelets and more. A custom jewelry provider will need to have expertise and production facilities that can handle all types of custom jewelry orders. The PJ002 sjows a custom belly ring, very few custom jewelry providers would care to make a single piece belly ring with your choice of gems. There many technical issues in making such body jewelry that can handled only by highly experienced custom jewelers. You could choose to have this custom belly ring as a birth stone jewel by including your birth stone in it. It would ofcourse be possible to order the ring in yellow gold instead of white gold. The design of your belly ring could also be altered according to your requirements. So you could choose to have a heart shaped gem stone as the bigger gem stone and a round gem stone as the smaller one. Remember that custom jewelry can cater to changes in dimensions too, so you are bound only with your budget and your imagination. Custom jewelry is not mass produced, it gets a lot of individual attention from skilled craftsmen. This allows perfection for every small detail, something that mass produced jewelry can never provide. Also remember that, it is not just the metal that needs to be custom made. Gemstones used in custom jewelry would also need to be custom cut according to jewelry specifications. Custom made jewelry might take a little long to be made. This is because the design, mould, casting and finishing need to be done for that single piece. If you are considering getting jewelry for special occassions like weddings, engagements or even birthdays make sure that you order sufficiently in advance. A reputed custom jewelry provider will not hurry production time, this is because he is aware that this would compromise on quality. Expect a 4 to 5 weeks production time for good quality custom jewelry. This might be a bit longer during peak production season, keep this in mind too. Jewelers like Kaisilver perform strict quality control checks before and after each production stage. Most other jewelers do just one hasty quality check before shipping the merchandise.

Custom jewelry is not for ladies only, men have today become fashion concious and have clear and specific preferences for the jewelry that they wear. Cufflinks which were not considered as fashion accessories until recently have undergone a tremendous change now. The CUFF-02 image shows a pair of classic mens cufflinks with blue topaz gems. Cufflinks are today made with precious metals and can include a wide range of gemstones too. Taking advantage of the high level of flexibility that custom jewelry offers, you could order a pair of gold or sterling silver cufflinks with your birth stone. The design and dimensions of your custom cufflinks can be made to match your stype and personality. Cufflinks can also contain a company logo or include the intials of a person. Most ready made cufflinks are flimsy and can break or bend easily. Custom jewelry provides definite benefits in terms of longterm durability. The craftsmanship for custom cuff links would also be finer as individual attention can be provided for each detail. Mens jewelry would have durability as a prime factor. This should be considered right from the designing phase. Kaisilver mens rings are highly respected throughout the world. They combine good design, material and craftsmanship. Durability is built into each mens ring and each design is researched by a team of inhouse designers and external consultants. Custom jewelry should have the same design and gemstone options and the same quality of craftsmanship for gold and silver metal options. Low profit margins keep many jewelers out of silver custom jewelry but, keep looking and you will find a custom jewelry provider who is willing to work with you. Custom jewelry would in general be more durable as compared to ready made jewelry. This is because the price tag on ready made jewelry needs to be attractive for mass markets. Look at the MAN18 mens opal ring and you will observe a truly high end mens custom ring. The ring has a healthy gold weight, solid construction and researched design that provides good protection for the gemstone in the ring. Using prong settings for the gem stones in this custom men's ring, might have reduced gold weight and lowered the price tag. But prongs tend to stick in pockets and other places. This causes the prongs to open up and loosen the gemstone. Custom jewelry is made just for you and need not worry about generating mass demand. This adds to the overall quality of a custom ring and also helps increase the strength and durability of the custom jewel. Mens jewelry would normally be large and require a good metal weight to keep it sturdy. Custom jewelry for men is quite often made in sterling silver, this is because of high gold prices that have consistently remained high in recent years. You should know that, there is no reason why silver custom jewelry cannot have the same high end craftsmanship as custom gold jewels. Thailand is the nerve center of the world's jewelry industry. It might not be as cheap as China but the craftsmanship of Thai craftsmen is rarely found in any other country. China might be great for mass producing low quality, low priced merchandise but when it comes to high end custom jewelry you should not look beyond Thailand. Some of the world's finest cutters work for custom jewelry providers like Kaisilver. Well cut gems can increase the beauty and value of all custom made jewelry.
