Custom & Heirloom Redesign

Custom jewelry is a very personal process, and we know how important it is to feel confident in the people guiding you through it. With years of experience in design, technical making, and client collaboration, we offer clear guidance at every step, from the first conversation to the final piece. Our goal is to make every design journey feel comfortable and easy to trust from beginning to end.

Our Process

INQUIRE & CONNECT: Share your vision via our Inquiry Form. We’ll follow up with a virtual appointment to discuss your ideas, style, and ensure we’re the perfect fit for your project.

QUOTE & TIMELINE: You will receive a detailed quote and timeline overview. Once you approve and the deposit is placed, your project is officially added to our production calendar.

SOURCING & SELECTION: Finding the "One." We source a curated selection of gemstones tailored to you. Once your stone is selected, the design process begins.

DESIGN & MODELING: After finalizing your design, we will create a 3D digital model (CAD) for your review, refining the details until the design is exactly as you dreamed.

PRODUCTION: Bringing it to life. We will begin casting, hand-setting your stones, and high quality finishing to ensure every detail is to our standards.

COMPLETION & DELIVERY: The big reveal. We’ll carefully package your jewelry and contact you for local pick-up or insured shipping.

How long does a custom project take?

Do you offer a warranty on custom jewelry?

We offer a one-year warranty from the date of purchase that covers manufacturing defects in materials or craftsmanship.

Can I trade-in my gold for credit towards my custom project?

Absolutely! We’d be happy to apply the value of your old gold (up to 85% of its scrap worth) towards your custom project.

Can I repurpose my gold into a custom design?

We do not directly recycle your gold into your piece of jewelry. We can however offer you a trade-in credit to apply towards your custom project.

What metals do you work with for custom projects?

We work with 14k or 18k yellow gold, rose gold and white gold as well as platinum.

Can I supply my own gemstone, diamond, heirloom stones?

Yes, we love bringing new life to cherished pieces! We specialize in heirloom redesigns and are happy to incorporate outside stones. To ensure the safety and integrity of your gems, we inspect all stones beforehand to ensure they are suitable for setting.

Do you provide cleaning or maintenance?

Yes, we provide cleaning and maintenance on all Olive & Hazel Jewelry. Damaged jewelry that requires repair will be subject to repair fees. See ‘Repairs’ section under FAQs.

Do you offer ethically sourced stones?

Yes! We work with vendors who are transparent about where their stones come from. We also source lab grown diamonds that are grown in the USA. The majority of our sourced stones for custom projects come with a certification.

What if I don't know my ring size?

Finding the right size is important for comfort and wearability. If you’re local to Metro Detroit, we can arrange an in-person meeting to size your finger. Alternatively, we recommend stopping into a local jeweler to have your finger sized.
