One Of A Kind Jewelry A Special Present

By Helen Rogers


A personalized item is always special when given as a gift. However, one of a kind jewelry is even more personal. Whichever kind of jewelry you choose, a unique piece is always extra special. The extra thought and originality make it so.

An item like this does not have to cost a fortune, gold, silver and diamonds are very nice but many beautiful pieces can be created using things that are readily at hand and inexpensive. There are infinite ways to create something original. Many children will have at some point made a family member a bracelet or necklace using beads, colored stones or shells found on the beach and an item like this is impossible to put a price on due to the sentimental value.

Many people these days also have pieces made using the ashes of a loved one. A small amount of the ashes are used to make a stone to be set into a piece and this makes for a very personal and special piece. Many companies worldwide now offer this service and again it is very special way of remembering a loved one.

Creating a unique item does not necessarily mean it has to be made from scratch. Existing pieces can be modified or inscribed with a personal message or name. Even something as simple as engraving a birthday or anniversary date can be a wonderful way to present someone with a one off piece.

There are jewelers who will accept designs and make a piece for you. Again this does not have to be expensive, starting from just a few dollars an individual piece can be made. The materials used will obviously be reflected in the price. The more elaborate the design will also determine the cost of the item as many craftsmen will bill you according to the amount of hours it has taken to produce the item.

In Sandy Springs, FA there are a number of excellent jewelers who will custom make pieces to your own specification. They can help with design and choice of materials. Such jewelers give you the option to create something using the finest stones and precious metals and achieve a beautiful piece worth thousands or even millions of dollars as an extra special present. Alternately you could purchase a custom watch from one of the world's prestigious makers for a unique gift.

A lot of people also choose to have an item customized. A piece handed down through the family may be transformed into something completely different whilst retaining the sentimental value. An engagement ring for example can be broken down and made into a pair of beautiful earrings using the original stones and metals or a necklace made into two bracelets.

If you choose to design and have your own piece made there a few things for you to consider. Your jeweler will be more than happy to discuss your requirements so that you are one hundred percent sure that it meets your needs. Type of metal, decoration and size are all things to give thought to when creating something intended to be for life and possibly handed down for generations to come.
