Your idea may not exist yet
A particular gemstone, shape, setting and metal combination can be difficult or impossible to find together in an existing listing.
Because jewelry is personal, and personal does not always come ready-made.
The Complete Kherish Guide to Custom Jewelry
Why We Offer Custom Jewelry: Your Stone, Your Setting, Your Story
Sometimes the ring you want does not already exist.
Maybe you love one Kherish design but want it with a completely different gemstone. Maybe you have been searching for a particular shape, metal, color combination or ring stack and cannot find all of those details together.
Maybe you do not want to choose a ring from a catalogue at all.
That is why Kherish offers custom jewelry.
Custom work gives us the ability to start with your idea and build around the details that matter to you instead of asking you to compromise simply because a ready-made design does not exist yet.

Why Kherish Offers Custom
Because jewelry is personal, and personal does not always come ready-made.
Kherish already creates jewelry for people who want something different from mass-market trends.
Custom design is the natural extension of that idea.
It gives us room to work around the actual person who will wear the piece rather than expecting the person to fit an existing design.
Meaning can be built into the design
Birthstones, favorite colors, symbolic gemstones, family influences and personal design details can all become part of the finished piece.
Some people simply do not want everyone else's ring
Custom jewelry gives you a way to choose a design based on your own aesthetic instead of whatever happens to be most common.
What Can Be Customized?
Almost every visible part of the design can become part of the conversation.
The exact possibilities depend on the design, material, structural requirements and gemstone, but custom work can change far more than one center stone.
Choose the center stone
Moss Agate, Moissanite, Sapphire, Ruby, Moonstone, quartz-family stones and other gemstone directions can all become the starting point of a custom design.
Choose the metal and tone
Depending on the design, options can include Sterling Silver, Gold Vermeil, Rose Gold Vermeil, solid gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum.
Choose how the stone is framed
Solitaire, halo, floral, vintage inspired, curved, nesting, bridal-set and fully custom silhouettes can all create dramatically different results.
Choose the stone outline
Oval, pear, round, marquise, emerald, cushion, kite, hexagon, heart and freeform shapes can all change the personality of the center.
Add or change supporting stones
Accent stones can introduce another color, increase sparkle or create a stronger theme around the center.
Refine the final appearance
High polish, delicate textures, engraved details, dainty accents, bold profiles and minimalist finishes all affect the final personality.
How Kherish Custom Works
You do not have to know how to design jewelry before contacting us.
Bring the idea. We help turn it into a workable design.
Share Your Vision
Tell us what you are imagining.
Inspiration photos, gemstone preferences, metal color, ring size, setting ideas, budget and examples of details you love can all help us understand the direction.
We Refine the Direction
Your concept is translated into a design direction with proportions, stone shapes, materials and structural details considered together.
You Review It
You review the design direction before production begins.
This is where the idea moves from something discussed into something you can approve.
Production Begins
Once the approved direction is ready, the piece moves into custom production.
Finishing & Inspection
The finished jewelry is polished and inspected before being prepared for shipment.
Delivery
Your completed custom piece is packaged and shipped with tracking, ready for the moment it was created for.
What Should You Send Us?
You do not need a professional drawing.
Some customers come to us with an extremely specific concept. Others know only that they want “a Moss Agate ring in rose gold that feels like a fairytale.”
Both are valid starting points.
| Useful Information | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Inspiration Photos | Helps communicate shapes, proportions and details that may be difficult to describe in words. |
| Gemstone Preference | Narrows the design around the color, durability, natural pattern and visual character you want. |
| Metal Preference | Helps establish both the visual direction and an important part of the budget. |
| Ring Size | Allows proportions and band dimensions to be considered for the actual size being produced. |
| Budget | Helps us suggest materials and design directions that make sense instead of designing something far outside what you intended to spend. |
| What You Do Not Like | Sometimes knowing what should not be included is just as useful as knowing what you love. |
Custom Does Not Always Mean Starting From Zero
An existing Kherish design can become the starting point.
If you already love one of our rings, custom work can sometimes be about changing the details rather than replacing the entire design.
You may love the silhouette but want another gemstone.
You may love the center setting but want a different metal color.
You may want a new band shape, a different accent layout, or a coordinating curved wedding band.
Existing Kherish designs can be used as inspiration and adjusted by gemstone, metal color, band style or setting details.
A useful way to start:
“I love this Kherish ring, but I want it in Sterling Silver with a Moss Agate center and emerald side stones.”
That already gives us a clear foundation to discuss.
What to Expect From a Custom Design
Custom means intentionally made for you. It does not mean ignoring how jewelry actually works.
Every detail affects another detail
Stone dimensions, band width, prongs, accent placement and setting height all have to work together.
Different stones behave differently
A design suitable for one gemstone may need changes when produced with a softer or differently shaped stone.
Wearability matters
A custom piece still needs to hold its stones, sit comfortably and function as jewelry.
Natural gemstones are not photocopies
Moss Agate, Rutilated Quartz, Herkimer-style stones and other naturally patterned materials can vary from one stone to another.
Custom is a conversation
Your vision leads the design while our job is to help translate it into a piece that can actually be produced and worn.
Custom work takes longer
The piece must move through design, approval, sourcing where necessary, production, finishing and inspection.
How Long Does Custom Jewelry Take?
Custom pieces are generally created and shipped within 4–6 weeks.
The exact timeline depends on design complexity, gemstone sourcing and the production schedule.
A custom order is not the same as ordering an existing made-to-order Kherish design.
Made-to-order jewelry can move directly into production because the design already exists.
A custom piece may first require design refinement, gemstone or material sourcing, approval and production preparation.
Kherish's current shipping policy lists custom-order production at approximately 4–6 weeks.
Planning for an engagement, wedding or anniversary?
Start the custom process early. A little extra time gives the design and sourcing process room to happen properly instead of forcing important decisions around a last-minute deadline.
How Custom Pricing Works
Custom pricing depends on what you are actually asking us to create.
There is no meaningful single price for every custom ring because a Sterling Silver design and a Platinum design are not the same project.
Custom Sterling Silver and Vermeil work currently begins at $295.
Final pricing depends on the design, gemstones, stone size, construction and other requested details.
Current Kherish Black Gold custom designs also begin at $295.
More complex sets, larger stones and additional custom details affect the final quote.
Solid Gold and Platinum custom jewelry currently begins at $2,400.
Final pricing reflects the metal, weight, gemstones, complexity and design requirements.
What Changes the Price?
The quote follows the design, not the other way around.
| Pricing Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Metal | Sterling Silver, Vermeil, Solid Gold and Platinum have very different material costs. |
| Center Stone | Gemstone type, dimensions, quality and availability can dramatically change the cost. |
| Accent Stones | Adding additional gemstones increases material, setting and production requirements. |
| Design Complexity | An intricate botanical bridal set requires more design and production work than a simple solitaire. |
| Stone Sourcing | An unusual natural stone, exact color or uncommon size can require additional sourcing. |
| Ring Set vs Single Ring | A custom engagement ring plus coordinating wedding band involves more material and design than one ring. |
| Special Details | Engraving, textures, unusual silhouettes, elaborate accents and specialized finishes can affect the quote. |
Why We Ask About Budget
Budget is a design tool, not an awkward question.
Knowing what you want to spend helps us discuss materials and design directions that make sense from the beginning.
If your budget points toward Sterling Silver rather than Platinum, we can design around Sterling Silver.
If one natural gemstone would consume most of the budget, another stone or size may allow more of the design you actually want.
The goal is not to push every custom customer into the most expensive materials.
The goal is to understand the priorities and build the quote around them.
Custom Does Not Have to Mean One Price Level
Material choice gives custom jewelry a much wider range.
One of the reasons Kherish works across Sterling Silver, Vermeil, Black Gold, Solid Gold and Platinum is that not every customer wants the same material or has the same budget.
Custom should mean designing around the person.
That includes the financial part of the project.
Someone may want a detailed Moss Agate ring in Sterling Silver. Someone else may want a Solid Gold heirloom piece. Another customer may want a Black Gold gothic ring set.
Those are all legitimate custom directions.
The materials and scope simply produce different quotes.
Why Choose Kherish for Custom?
Because unconventional jewelry is already what we do.
Custom work is easier when the designer already understands unusual gemstones, alternative shapes and designs that do not look like everything in a traditional jewelry case.
We already work beyond the obvious
Moss Agate, Herkimer-style stones, Opal, Alexandrite, Rutilated Quartz, Moonstone, Sapphire, Ruby and other colorful materials are already part of the Kherish design vocabulary.
Round is not the only option
Kite, Hexagon, Coffin, Pear, Marquise, Emerald and other shapes are already familiar territory.
We understand rings that break tradition
Nature-inspired, gothic, vintage, fantasy, colorful and unconventional engagement jewelry are part of what Kherish is built around.
More than one budget and metal direction
Sterling Silver, Vermeil, Black Gold, Solid Gold and Platinum create different ways to approach the same custom idea.
You review the direction first
The current Kherish custom process includes design review before production begins.
The finished piece is made for you
Custom jewelry is not simply selected from a catalogue and relabeled. It is produced around the approved project.
What Can a Custom Project Look Like?
There is no single custom aesthetic.
| Idea | Possible Direction |
|---|---|
| Nature Inspired | Moss Agate center, botanical leaves, curved wedding band and Sterling Silver or Gold. |
| Gothic | Coffin or hexagon center, Black Gold, Black Onyx, Garnet or dark gemstone accents. |
| Celestial | Blue Sandstone, dark stones, star-inspired accents or a dramatic nesting band. |
| Vintage | Oval or emerald center, detailed halo, warm Gold or Rose Gold and antique-inspired accents. |
| Minimal | One center stone, clean band, simple prongs and an understated profile. |
| Colorful | Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Opal, Alexandrite or mixed gemstone accents. |
| Custom Bridal Set | Engagement ring and coordinating curved, crown or nesting wedding band designed together. |
Custom Is Not Only for Engagement Rings
A custom piece can mark almost any important chapter.
Build the proposal ring around the person
Custom is especially useful when a traditional engagement style does not match the person receiving it.
Create a band around an existing ring
A custom curved or nesting wedding band can be designed around an engagement ring that does not fit standard straight bands.
Add another chapter
A new gemstone, anniversary band or custom stack can mark a milestone without replacing the original wedding jewelry.
Meaning without following engagement rules
A custom promise ring can be designed around a favorite color, stone or shared symbolism.
Create something meant to stay
Solid Gold and Platinum custom projects can be built with long-term heirloom intentions.
Jewelry does not require a relationship milestone
Graduation, career achievement, major birthday or simply finally buying the piece you always wanted can be reason enough.
Before You Request a Quote
A little preparation makes the conversation much easier.
Think about these six things:
1. What gemstone or color do you want?
2. What metal do you prefer?
3. Do you want delicate, bold, vintage, gothic, nature inspired, fantasy or minimalist?
4. Is this one ring or a complete ring set?
5. What approximate budget do you want us to design around?
6. Do you have inspiration photos or an existing Kherish design you already love?
Kherish Custom Jewelry FAQ
Before you build your dream ring
Does Kherish make custom jewelry?
Yes. Kherish offers custom jewelry designed around the customer's gemstone, setting, metal, design direction and personal preferences.
Can I customize an existing Kherish ring?
Yes. Existing Kherish designs can be used as inspiration and adjusted through gemstone, metal color, band style or setting details depending on the project.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before contacting Kherish?
No. Inspiration photos, a gemstone idea, a general aesthetic and a budget can be enough to begin the conversation.
Will I see the design before production?
Yes. The current Kherish custom process includes design review and approval before production begins.
How long does a custom Kherish ring take?
Custom orders are generally created and shipped within approximately 4–6 weeks. Timing can vary according to design complexity, gemstone sourcing and the current production schedule.
How much does custom jewelry cost?
Pricing depends on the materials and design. Current Kherish pricing begins at $295 for custom Sterling Silver, Vermeil and Black Gold projects, while custom Solid Gold and Platinum work begins at $2,400.
Why does custom jewelry cost more than some regular listings?
Custom work includes design development, individual project preparation and production around specifications that do not already exist as a standard listing. Gemstones, metal, complexity and sourcing can also affect the price.
Can I give Kherish a budget?
Yes. Budget is specifically part of the information requested during the custom process and helps determine practical material and design options.
Can Kherish make a custom wedding band for my engagement ring?
Yes. Curved, nesting and bridal-set designs are among the current custom setting directions Kherish offers.
Can I choose an unusual stone shape?
Yes. Current custom shape options include oval, pear, round, marquise, emerald cut, cushion, kite, hexagon, heart and other custom or freeform directions.
Can I choose Moss Agate?
Yes. Moss Agate is specifically included among Kherish's current custom gemstone options.
Can I request Rose Gold or Yellow Gold?
Yes. Kherish custom work includes multiple metal directions, including Yellow Gold, Rose Gold, White Gold, Sterling Silver, Vermeil and Solid Gold depending on the design.
Does custom mean every request is structurally possible?
No. The final design still has to work as jewelry. Stone dimensions, material characteristics, setting security, proportions and wearability must all be considered when translating an idea into a finished piece.
Will a natural gemstone look exactly like an inspiration photo?
Not necessarily. Natural gemstones such as Moss Agate, Rutilated Quartz and other inclusion-rich stones naturally vary. The design can follow the approved direction while the exact natural internal pattern remains individual.
Can I create a matching bridal set?
Yes. Engagement rings, curved bands, nesting bands and complete bridal sets are all current custom design directions.
Why choose Kherish instead of a traditional custom jeweler?
Kherish already specializes in alternative fine jewelry, unusual gemstones, uncommon stone shapes, fantasy and nature-inspired settings, colorful engagement rings and nontraditional bridal designs. Custom work builds directly on that design vocabulary.
