When it comes to buying jewelry, whether it is for yourself or someone else, it can be tricky to find an item that has everything you want.

For instance, you may have the perfect ring or bracelet in your mind, but when it comes to looking for that solid silver and garnet ring, you simply can’t find one that catches your fancy. So, you stop looking and wonder why no one else has thought of this amazing color combo in a ring.

Well, in 2022, there a number of websites where you can have custom pieces of jewelry made that fit your precise requirements. You may have concerns that this process will be pricey but don’t be fooled! It can be exceedingly affordable.

So, why else is it worth investing in customized pieces of jewelry?

1. It’s Unique
   The obvious reason why you would want a piece of customized jewelry is that it’s unique. When you wear it out to a show or to dinner, no one else will be wearing anything that matches it, showcasing its (and your own) uniqueness. There are many stores that allow you to customize existing pieces of jewelry, such as jewellers Hertford, so if you aren’t up to speed with designing jewelry from scratch, they can help you.
   
2. It’s Sentimental
   Suppose you are looking for a piece of customized jewelry to give as a gift. When the person being gifted it receives it, the uniqueness of the piece will make it instantly sentimental. In fact, the majority of hand-me-down pieces of jewelry in families around the world are customized pieces. Think of the tradition of gifting a newly engaged couple a family engagement ring; you aren’t likely to find your great-great grandmother’s engagement ring in a catalog! So, the pieces of jewelry are often far more powerful than the price that comes with them.
   
3. Quality
   If you are working with a jewelry designer, it is unlikely that you will be given a finished piece that is cheap and easily-breakable.
   From start to finish, every aspect of your unique piece of jewelry has been created carefully and, as you have chosen the metal, you know exactly what the bracelet or necklace is made from, meaning there will be no surprise metals thrown into it. This also means that as the piece ages, it will undoubtedly increase in value. 
   
4. It’s Complementary
   Suppose you have been looking for wedding jewelry to go with your chosen dress and you can’t find anything. What a perfect time to have a custom piece made! This will ensure that the tiara, necklace, or earrings fit perfectly with your chosen dress, making it complement the design and pattern, rather than forcing you to choose something that you aren’t happy with.
   
5. It’s Affordable
   As mentioned before, you may be surprised at how affordable customized jewelry can be. In fact, because only a select piece of metal or jewel is being used, the costs of the pieces themselves can sometimes be lower than pieces that have been mass produced. Just be careful not to fall for insanely low-price pieces, as this can indicate issues with quality.
