Creating custom jewellery is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Every piece tells a story — a love story, a milestone, a family memory — and we’re honoured to turn those stories into something you can wear and treasure for a lifetime.
At Lily Jewellery Manufacturing, our custom design process is fully done in-house by our family of expert jewellers — from concept to creation. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring your unique ideas to life.
1. The Inspiration Stage: Sharing Your Vision
Every custom design begins with a conversation.
You might come to us with a detailed idea, a few reference photos, or simply a vision in your mind — and that’s all we need to get started.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss:
-
The story behind your piece
-
Your preferred style (modern, vintage, minimalist, etc.)
-
Metal choice and gemstone options
-
Your budget and timeline
We encourage you to share inspiration images, sketches, or even heirloom pieces that capture the look and feel you’re going for. From there, we start shaping your dream into a design plan.
2. The Design Stage: Turning Ideas into Art
Once we understand your vision, our design team creates a detailed 3D CAD rendering (Computer-Aided Design) of your piece.
This step allows you to see exactly what your jewellery will look like from every angle — long before it’s made. You’ll be able to review the design and make adjustments to ensure every detail is perfect.
Our goal: to bring your vision to life while maintaining comfort, balance, and wearability in the final piece.
3. The Model Stage: Seeing Your Design Come to Life
After you approve the digital design, we create a wax or resin model using 3D printing technology.
This model gives you a tangible preview of your piece’s size, proportions, and structure. It’s a chance to see how your design translates from screen to reality — and to make any final refinements before production begins.
4. The Casting Stage: From Design to Precious Metal
Next, we move into the casting phase — where your design truly comes to life.
We melt and cast your chosen metal (gold, platinum, or other alloys) into the exact shape of your jewellery. This is a delicate process that requires precision and craftsmanship — skills our jewellers have honed over generations.
Once cast, the metal piece is carefully cleaned, polished, and inspected to ensure a flawless foundation for stone setting.
5. The Setting Stage: Precision and Detail
This is where the sparkle begins.
Our skilled setters meticulously place each diamond or gemstone by hand, securing them with precision and care.
Whether your design features a single solitaire diamond or a complex pavé pattern, every stone is positioned to enhance brilliance and durability.
This stage demands patience, expertise, and an eye for symmetry — qualities that define our family’s craftsmanship.
6. The Finishing Touch: Polishing and Perfection
After setting, your jewellery undergoes multiple stages of polishing to achieve a mirror-like shine.
We check every angle, every edge, and every detail to ensure it meets our highest quality standards.
If your design includes engraving, texturing, or special finishes, this is when those final details are added — making your piece completely one-of-a-kind.
7. The Reveal: Your Story, Forever Captured
Finally, the best part — presenting you with your finished piece.
Whether it’s an engagement ring, wedding band, or custom heirloom, seeing your idea transformed into a tangible, sparkling reality is a moment we cherish as much as you do.
We love watching our clients’ reactions as they hold their custom creation for the first time — knowing it’s something that will be treasured for generations.
