Custom Jewelry Design Process
Step 1 – Consultation
(No appointment necessary – 1 to 2 hours)
At Revolution Jewelry Works, our six-step custom jewelry design process in Colorado Springs transforms imagination into heirloom quality. Your consultation starts with metal choices—gold, platinum, palladium, silver—and the selection of new or sentimental diamonds and gemstones. Bring photos, sketches, or treasured pieces; our designers translate your inspiration into concept drawings and photorealistic CAD/CAM previews before carving the wax model. Whether crafting a custom engagement ring, anniversary necklace, or repurposed family stone, every phase is guided by award-winning Colorado Springs artisans committed to creating one-of-a-kind jewelry that tells your story.
Step 2 – CAD/CAM Design
(Completed by our designers – 3 to 8 hours)
Working from the initial sketch, our Colorado Springs jewelry store CAD/CAM designers prepare a digital design incorporating the elements our clients wish to see. We create a 3D representation of the custom jewelry piece in an interactive program which digitally builds the architecture of the design. Each client receives a rendering of their design which looks like a photograph of the finished piece. Often clients may know what they want their custom jewelry design to look like, but can’t decide what metal they want. We are able to render the same image displaying different types of metal or colors of gemstones to help the client make their final decision.
Step 3 – Wax Creation
(Digitally carved in-studio – 2 to 6 hours)
Step 4 – Investing
(Completed by our jewelers on scheduled days – 1 hour)
Step 5 – Burnout, Casting, & Quenching
(By appointment)
