KATHERINE BEAMAN, OUR LEADING CUSTOM DESIGNER, GIVES SOME INSIGHT ON THE CRAFT OF CREATING JEWELRY AT C.D. PEACOCK

Q: Katherine, why would anyone choose to custom design a piece of jewelry, with so much to choose from in the store? A: Jewelry is so personal. Many love not only owning a one-of-a-kind piece, but also being involved in the creation of it from start to finish. The process is fun and exciting as I work together with you, and your special design comes to life more and more through each phase. Q : You mention “the process” of custom design, what is that like and what should someone to do get started? A: It all starts with a conversation. I often start with the who, what and why – who do you want to create a custom design for? What kind of piece do you want to create? And the why usually revolves around a celebration or milestone in life. Some come in with very specific thoughts and ideas on what they want their piece to look like, others have no idea – either way, the first conversation together is always fun and full of discovery that inspires me to create a piece of jewelry to match your vision or sentiment. All you need to get started is an appointment. Q: How long does it take to create a custom designed piece, and does it cost more? A: The timeline depends on if specific gemstones or materials need to be ordered, but in general from start to finish it takes about 4-6 weeks – not long, considering you are creating a special piece that will be adored for a lifetime. Costs vary, just like jewelry varies throughout our showroom, but often custom design doesn’t cost more, and you get the experience of creating something unique and very personal.
