We Are Experts in Custom Rings & Fine Jewelry
Many jewelers simply modify existing designs and label them as custom, but at Christopher Duquet, we take a truly unique approach. Our team of Graduate Gemologists offers expert insight into diamonds and gemstones, ensuring a deep, knowledgeable foundation for every piece we create. From initial sketch to final craft, we design each piece from the ground up, working closely with you throughout the entire custom process.
Our Personalized Jewelry Creation Journey
We begin the design process by learning more about your vision and goals. Together, we will sketch out different options. Next, we create a realistic CAD design so you can get a better idea of what your custom jewelry piece will look like in 3D. Finally, your design is cast and set. You can see our craftsmanship firsthand by visiting our showroom, where you’ll find over 1,000 display pieces that showcase the artistry and quality of our work.
