Custom Jewellery vs Ready-Made: Which is the Perfect Choice for You?

Choosing the right jewellery is a highly personal decision. Whether you’re shopping for opal, pearl or pink diamond jewellery, finding the perfect piece to add to your collection is a case of searching for one that speaks to you. In some cases, you may be drawn to a particular piece of ready-made jewellery you find in a store. In other instances, you might want to consider ordering a piece of bespoke jewellery that exactly matches your visions. 
To help you decide between custom and ready-made jewellery, the expert staff at Volle have put together this blog that outlines the benefits of both options and how to choose between them.

Custom Jewellery

What is custom jewellery? These pieces are designed by or for an individual, ensuring each one is unique and personalised to suit your budget and needs. One of the main benefits of custom jewellery is the ability to select every element of the piece, including the metal and gemstone, as well as the design itself. Custom jewellery enables you to inject your own creative vision into the design of the piece, often forming a sentimental attachment to it in the process.

Ready-Made Jewellery

Ready-made jewellery pieces are designed and crafted by jewellers with the intention of being sold to customers. The advantages of purchasing existing jewellery from a store include immediate availability and a wide variety of designs to choose from. Many of these pieces will be inspired by current jewellery trends, appealing to fashion-conscious buyers. However, timeless and elegant designs are also common in ready-made jewellery. You may also be inspired by an existing piece you find in a store, regardless of whether it aligns with or differs from your initial vision.

Custom Jewellery vs Ready-Made Pieces

Personalisation

One of the main advantages of bespoke jewellery is the ability to personalise the overall design. Ready-made pieces can often be customised with engravings or replacement stones.

Availability

The process of designing and producing your own bespoke jewellery is rewarding, but time-consuming. Where it could take weeks or months to create a custom piece of jewellery, existing pieces are available for immediate purchase.

Cost

The cost of personalised jewellery will vary depending on the materials used in your design. At Volle, we offer a range of premium quality jewellery to suit all budgets and style preferences.

Uniqueness

One of the most appealing factors in designing your own custom jewellery is the ability to own a completely personalised and unique piece. While ready-made jewellery at Volle is based on current trends, every piece is still unique as every gemstone has its own variations in colour and shape.

Sentimentality

Any piece of jewellery is a sentimental purchase. While one of the main advantages of bespoke jewellery is the long-lasting attachment you form with it, some ready-made pieces can also strike that instant emotional connection.

Custom Jewellery vs Ready-Made: Which Option Is Better For You?

The choice between an existing piece of jewellery and one which you design yourself will depend on your personal feelings and circumstances. For the ultimate statement in unique jewellery, consider creating a bespoke piece. However, if you are after jewellery that is available for immediate purchase, or you’ve been inspired by something you’ve seen in a store window, an existing piece may be for you.
