How a Custom Pendant Gets Made, Start to Finish
A custom pendant starts with your idea: a name, a photo, a logo or a sketch. We turn it into a design you approve, take a $500 deposit, and build it with VVS moissanite on 925 sterling silver in 2 to 3 weeks. The balance is paid before it ships.
What can I get made?
- Names, nicknames and initials.
- Photo pendants with a picture of someone you love.
- Logos and brand marks.
- Your own sketch or a reference photo of something you've seen.
How does the process work?
- Send the idea. Fill out the form on our custom page with what you want, any photos or sketches, and your budget.
- We design it. We send you a design to look at. You ask for changes until it's right.
- You approve and put $500 down. Nothing is made until you say yes to the design and the price. The $500 deposit starts the build.
- We make it. The piece is built on 925 sterling silver, plated in 14k gold or white gold, and hand-set with VVS moissanite.
- Pay the balance, it ships. Typical turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from approval. Once the balance is paid in full, it ships and you get a tracking link.
What should I send to get the best result?
- The clearest photo or logo file you have.
- Rough size: how big you want it on the chest.
- Gold or white gold.
- A budget, so we can design to it.
- When you need it by.
Why moissanite for a custom piece?
It passes a standard diamond tester, it stays clear for life, and it costs a fraction of diamond. That leaves more of your budget for size and detail.
