Custom Jewelry
If you’re drawn to our collections, design language, or point of view and are looking for something uniquely your own, we’d love to create it with you. Whether customizing an existing style, creating a one-of-a-kind piece, or reimagining a family heirloom, you’ll work directly with Selin to bring your vision to life. Custom projects begin at $3,500.
The Custom Process
01
The inspiration
The first step in designing a custom piece with SELIN KENT is getting to know you. We start by understanding your story, your vision, and inspiration. What is the intention behind the piece? Are there pieces we've designed in the past that you've loved? Which settings, stone colors, types, and cuts do you gravitate to? The more developed your vision board, the better.
02
Sourcing
Once we have a clear direction and a sense of the components that will be incorporated into the piece, we'll provide a budget and begin sourcing stones, if necessary.
We’ll draw from our long-standing relationships with trusted stone dealers to present a considered range of options and guide you toward the right stone for your piece. Stones you already own can be repurposed into a new setting, or we can source an ethically mined or cultivated diamond or gemstone to match your vision.
03
Design & CAD
Once we have a clear design direction and a sense of which components will be incorporated into the final piece, our team will provide you with a price range.
Based on your direction and our guidance, we will provide you with sketches so you can begin to visualize your custom piece. This step begins with an initial sketch which can be reworked and reimagined until it feels right. After both the design and stones are approved, we'll create a computer-aided design (CAD) for your approval. Once the CAD is approved, we begin the production process.
04
Production
This is where your piece is brought to life. Every piece is crafted by our team of expert artisans in New York City, each a master at their craft. We closely oversee every step, from the bench to the final polish, and each detail is executed with the utmost precision and care. The result: a one-of-a-kind jewel infused with your story, made to last and be treasured for generations.
05
UNVEILING
This is the moment your piece becomes something you can hold and wear. While we love handing off pieces in person at our showroom in Dumbo, we can arrange to have your piece shipped or dropped off via courier.
