How Much Do You Really Need To Purchase Custom Jewelry
Jewelry makes for a great gift, especially if you are thinking about celebrating a special occasion or impressing someone special. Personalized jewelry, however, makes for an even more impactful and heartfelt gesture.
While most like to say it is the thought that matters more for than the price, it is still a smart choice to factor in a budget for your gift as you consider the right item to purchase.
Whether it is for unique engagement rings or a simple tennis bracelet, customized jewelry in Singapore can vary greatly in price and much of it boils down to the quality of the diamonds or gemstones used, the style you like and the complexity of the craftsmanship involved.
To help with your budgeting process for a custom creation, here is what our clients can expect at August Bespoke.
Custom engagement rings
Though the price of jewelry varies based on factors such as the intricacy of the design, the type of gem used, as well as its cutting, the custom engagement rings we create generally start from USD 3,700 (SGD 5,000).
Take note that all our prices are “all-in” and include all diamonds and gems as well as the custom design work and tweaking to ensure beauty and structural integrity for everyday wear. For engagement rings and wedding bands, a one-time ring resizing is complimentary and included with the service. If you live abroad, secure international shipping is included as well. There is no additional tax or hidden charges.

It is important to note when looking at prices that creating fine jewelry is like building architecture on a miniature scale, and we go through many iterations and rounds of redesigns to achieve the perfect end result that is also comfortable to wear. This results in a quality that is raved about by our clientele and very different from what is ready-made in stores.

Custom wedding bands
Our minimalist wedding bands start from USD 1,200 (SGD 1,800) for women and USD 1,500 (SGD 2,200) for men. This includes all custom engravings which you can choose to include in our signature fonts or even in your own handwriting.

Types of Gems Used in Our Jewelry
At August Bespoke, we are custom jewelry makers who specialize in the world’s highest quality Colored gemstones as well as GIA-Certified diamonds (especially the Fancy Cuts like Emerald Cuts, Oval cuts, etc). By popular request, we also custom cut lab-grown diamonds in all shapes and sizes for our lab-grown diamond engagement rings and jewelry.

How long does it take for my jewelry to be crafted?
Now that you have an idea of the price range of custom made jewelry, your next thought may be about the time it takes for a customized piece to be completed.
Generally, our custom pieces take 2-3 months to complete as all of our setting, finishing and polishing is done by hand. In more urgent cases, minimalist designs in 18K White, Yellow or Rose gold without major embellishments can take four to six weeks from the time you finalize your design.
Take note that Platinum pieces can take slightly longer as it is a more malleable metal which requires more time for our specialist jewelry makers to perfect the details.
Ultimately every project is different and so reach out to us if you have an urgent deadline and we will do our best to help. We are often fully booked so we also recommend starting as soon as you are ready.
