Custom Jewelry Design
Design your dream jewelry at Spicer Greene Jewelers
Your vision, made in Asheville
At Spicer Greene, we pride ourselves on designing and manufacturing our custom jewelry designs 100% in our downtown Asheville workshop. Our team of local artisans, designers and goldsmiths take pride in making your dreams become a reality.
Step 1
Inspiration & Design
Inspiration can come from anywhere! Our designers can start with a unique gemstone, your Pinterest board, pictures on your phone or a sketch on the back of a napkin.
Your ideas can be as defined or as abstract as you wish when we begin dreaming together.
Step 2
CAD Preview & Wax Model
Once we've defined your vision, our designer will create a CAD rendering of your piece so you can see it from every angle. We'll also use a 3D printer to create a wax model of your design so you can see it in person in its final size.
Step 3
Expert Craftsmanship
Our team of artisans will cast your piece in the metal of your choice and add all the finishing details like setting the stones, polishing the metal and adding design details.
After a rigorous quality control process, your new jewelry is ready for you to pick up!
From our customers
★★★★★Christine SnyderSpicer Greene is simply the best. Their ability to both make entirely custom pieces and customize existing pieces is top notch. I had a completely custom vision for my engagement ring with a unique moody/dark sapphire and they said, “sure, we can do that!” It turned out even better than I imagined and I get sooo many compliments on it. I also wanted a flat profile gold wedding band and they were able to easily transform a band they already had in the store. Everyone I’ve worked with has been so pleasant and knowledgeable. Their lifetime perks are amazing as well. I love having Spicer Greene as my local go-to jeweler!
★★★★★Kateri EverettThe best jewelry store we’ve ever been to and we’ve been to a lot looking for an engagement ring! Elliot did a phenomenal job making us feel welcomed and appreciated as he took the time to explain the differences and find exactly what we were looking for. We saw two pieces we liked and the fact that they can custom make your ring is amazing! Truly the best experience we’ve ever had and we walked away confident and happy. I can’t wait to get the ring if my dreams!

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to frequently asked questions about custom jewelry design. If you still have questions, please call us at 828-253-1805.
Appointments are not necessary to begin your custom design. You can walk in any time and begin to create your dream piece.
Custom jewelry design can take as little as a month from your initial appointment to receiving your new piece of jewelry.
However, certain circumstances can make the design stage take significantly longer. For example, if we are sourcing incredibly rare stones or need to work with outside vendors, the process can take weeks or months.Yes. Because your piece is crafted just for you by an expert designer and cast as a unique piece in our workshop, the price is typically higher than a comparable piece in our showcase. However, when you are finished you have a special piece that is unique to you.
Yes! Our team specializes in crafting custom jewelry that honors and highlights your heirloom family stones. Bring any pieces you are considering using to your initial consultation and our team can help you decide what to reuse in your new piece.
We can reuse your gold if it's all the same karat (ie. 14k, 18k). We cannot reuse platinum or palladium, but we can purchase the leftover metal and use it as a credit toward the final price of your design.
Our goldsmiths can evaluate your metal to help determine if it is a good candidate for reuse. Unknown metal alloys can lead to a weaker end product, so using newly refined metal has a more guaranteed outcome in the casting process.
To get started, we require a $150 non-refundable deposit, which includes a consultation with our designer, realistic renderings, and an estimate. From there, you can make revisions until the design is perfect. Once the design is approved, we require a deposit of half the total cost to begin production, with the remaining balance due upon pick up.
No, because our store does not sell lab-grown or synthetic diamonds, our shop is unable to provide any service or custom design on jewelry that includes them.
