Custom Engagement Rings & Fine Jewelry Near Lincolnwood, IL
The experienced Graduate Gemologists at Christopher Duquet are dedicated to providing customers with quality craftsmanship and knowledgeable guidance. We begin designing custom jewelry as a team, sketching your ideas to kickstart the process. We welcome you to visit our studio, showcasing over 1,000 pieces, to browse our work.
Custom Jewelry with a Personal Touch
With over 30 years of experience, we craft each custom ring with meticulous care and attention to detail. Our industry relationships help us source gemstones of the utmost quality. All of our designs are created completely from scratch (rather than working from an existing piece), bringing you an engagement ring, bracelet, band, and more, that is truly one-of-a-kind.
From Concept to Creation: Our Custom Jewelry Design Process
Our comprehensive custom design journey begins with a personalized consultation where we explore your inspiration and style while sketching preliminary concepts together. Next, our Graduate Gemologists present a curated selection of exceptional stones that align with your vision and quality standards. With these key elements established, our design team creates detailed 3D digital renderings that allow you to visualize your piece from every angle before approval. Finally, our experts will cast your design in precious metals and meticulously hand-set each stone—ensuring the finished creation exceeds your expectations in both beauty and craftsmanship.
