Creating a Custom Piece

At Anne Sportun, we know that jewelry is an investment and that each piece has a special significance for the wearer. Jewelry has the ability to create memories, mark significant life events and represent a person's individual style. While our collections offer many choices, you may want to have design input. As a result, many of our clients are pleased to learn that we do offer custom work at Anne Sportun Fine Jewelry.

Our bespoke services cater to a wide range of clients' needs, ranging from custom made gemstone jewelry, custom engagement and wedding rings and remounting of heirloom pieces. Whatever your specific creative vision, our dedicated and experienced team at Anne Sportun Fine Jewelry can help you to bring it to life to what you seek in an original and intuitive way.

What does “custom design” mean?

Our custom design service allows us to work with you to create a piece that is completely personalized. The term “custom design” means that you and a member of our team work together to ensure that you have all the Anne Sportun design features that you desire in your custom piece. 

For instance, if you're looking for custom made rings, you can visit our flagship store and choose features such as the width and texture of the band, style of the setting, matte or high polish finish, and type of precious metal. All of these components make for a piece of fine jewelry completely your own.

Here are some examples:

Width of Band:  If it’s a ring you are having made, choose the width that best suits your taste and finger.

What is the benefit of creating a custom piece?

A custom piece of jewelry is an investment that should stand the test of time. For many, a custom ring or necklace will often be worn for a lifetime and even become an heirloom. Hence, it's important to choose a piece of jewelry that truly speaks to you and represents your intention and sentiment.

The benefit of a custom piece is that it is uniquely your own, styled with all the signature Anne Sportun design aesthetics. A custom piece may be the re-working of an heirloom piece you have inherited, such as an heirloom stone remounted into one of our many existing mounts, or perhaps you are celebrating a special event with custom jewelry (engagement rings or wedding rings are a popular selection). By working together with us, you can customize a piece to suit your preferences.
