Does custom jewelry cost more?


  • Does Custom Jewelry cost more?



  • Yes! Whenever you are having a one-of-a-kind distinctive design for yourself that is all your own then the cost is going to be higher than having the design costs and materials spread over that design being made multiple times.  When designers make jewelry for sale in a showcase then they have made the design multiple times to keep the retail price down and spread the overhead costs over many productions.    Most custom design occasions can increase the cost for something unique and individual by 35% to 50% more than what you’ll find in one of our showcases, but hey you are worth it and one of a kind too!  Mulloys has a custom design department and can CAD your ideas and bring them to life in a rendering that will look like your finished dream.  Let me know if you want to know more about Custom.


  • Creating custom jewelry involves a personalized design crafted to meet individual preferences, making it distinct from mass-produced pieces. The cost of custom jewelry tends to be higher due to several factors. These include the unique design process, which demands more time and effort from skilled artisans or designers, the utilization of specific materials like precious metals and gemstones that can significantly impact the overall price, increased labor costs owing to the detailed craftsmanship involved, the expertise of specialized craftsmen, and the exclusivity of the final product. However, prices can vary widely based on factors such as complexity, materials used, designer reputation, and market demand. Communication about your budget and design expectations with the jeweler is crucial to ensure a balance between your financial constraints and desired outcome.
