From your first idea to the final piece

The custom jewelry
design process.

A piece of jewelry begins with something personal. A promise, a milestone, or simply a design you can’t stop thinking about. Here’s how you and Kari bring it to life.

Start with your idea
  1. Explore

    Find the shape of your idea.

    Choose the ring, pendant, or earring designer, then explore settings, stone shapes, and metals. Notice what you’re drawn to: a clean solitaire, a little extra sparkle, or a more expressive combination. You don’t need every answer to begin.

  2. Share

    Show Kari what you have in mind.

    Select “Get my custom price” in the designer, confirm the stone sizes, and share your contact details. Your finished design picture is included automatically. Add your budget, timeframe, and any details that make the piece meaningful.

  3. Refine

    Work through the details together.

    Kari will reach out to discuss your design and prepare a personal quote. Together, you can talk through the stones, metal, proportions, size, and how the piece will fit into everyday life. Confirm the final design, price, and timing before moving forward.

  4. Create

    From the screen to her workbench.

    Once you’ve agreed on the details, Kari can begin making your piece. The design you imagined becomes a piece to wear, give, and make memories with. Kari will discuss completion and the handover with you directly.

Small decisions. A very personal piece.

What makes it
feel like you?

Start with the details you love. Kari can help you consider how they work together in the finished piece.

THE STONE

A shape that speaks to you.

Explore the outline, color, and scale of your center stone. Think about whether you love a single focal point or a design with side stones and extra sparkle.

THE SETTING

Beautiful from every angle.

Consider the proportions, the height of the setting, and the little details you’ll notice up close. Tell Kari how you want your ring, pendant, or earrings to look and feel when you wear it.

THE MEANING

A story only you can tell.

A favorite color, an anniversary, a shared memory. Include the inspiration behind your piece in your request so Kari understands what matters most to you.

A personal design deserves a personal quote

Let’s talk about
your design. And your budget.

Every design brings its own combination of materials and work. Your quote reflects the specific piece you want to make.

What shapes your quote

Stones
The type, size, number, and characteristics of the stones you choose.
Precious metal
Your metal choice and the amount needed for the design.
Design & detail
The setting, construction, and work involved in bringing the piece together.

Have a budget in mind? Include it in your request so Kari can discuss the possibilities with you.

A personal kind of goldsmithing

A real person.
Making your one of a kind.

Meet Kari Nimlos, the goldsmith behind GEM Jewelers. This is her online custom jewelry studio: a place to explore rings, pendants, or earrings, then talk directly with the person who will make it. Bring your ideas from anywhere in the country.

Meet Kari

Before you begin

A few things
you might be wondering.

You bring the idea. There’s room to figure out the finer details together.

Can I design custom jewelry online from another state?

Yes. Customers across the United States can use the ring, pendant, and earring designers and request a personal quote. Kari can follow up by email or phone to discuss the design, final specifications, timing, and delivery arrangements before you move forward.

Do I need to know exactly what I want?

No. Use the designer to explore what you like, then describe your starting point in your quote request. Tell Kari which details you love and where you’d appreciate her guidance.

Is the online design my final piece?

It’s the starting point for your conversation. Kari will review your choices with you, discuss what’s possible, and confirm the final specifications before making the piece.

What should I include in my request?

The stone sizes and your name, email, and phone number. The designer’s finished design picture is included automatically. You can also choose to upload a picture instead. A budget, desired date, ring size, pendant dimensions, or earring quantity, preferred metal, and a little about your inspiration will help Kari understand your plans.

How long will my piece take?

Timing depends on the design, materials, and work involved. Share any important date in your request. Kari will discuss the schedule with you before you decide to proceed.

Am I committing to buy when I request a price?

No. The form starts a conversation with Kari. She’ll review your request and discuss pricing and next steps directly with you; no payment is taken on the site.
