Personalized Jewelry, the Emotion of a Unique Gift
While jewelry is always a welcome gift, personalized jewelry is even more so: it has not only the preciousness of gold and stones or the beauty of form, but also the uniqueness of a piece designed and crafted expressly for the person who will wear it and which is therefore different from any other. They are often requested to celebrate a special occasion, such as an anniversary or an important date, which one wishes to commemorate with a piece of jewelry with a particular design or unusual stones. They are custom creations that can only be born from the skilled hands of goldsmith artisans who know how to transform an idea into a piece of jewelry.
From an Idea to a Work of Art
“Everything begins with a pencil stroke, a mark that takes shape like a sculpture and which, through inspired and passionate craftsmanship, shapes unique jewelry. Every step is a ritual, every gesture is the legacy of ancient wisdom, a spark that comes to life and transforms each precious piece into a work of art“.
These words by Luca Daverio, expert goldsmith, recall his father Franco, an artist who already in the 1930s created jewelry-sculptures and who taught him the techniques of metalworking. “The first step, the most important one, is the idea ̶ adds Luca Daverio ̶ one must be curious to observe and to feel: an idea can also be an emotion“.
Very often requests for personalized jewelry are for a gift, but naturally there are also those who seek something unique and original for themselves, perhaps to modernize an old piece. In any case, the starting point is always the person, their style and habits, combined with the occasion or anniversary to celebrate. One could, for example, think of a necklace with the same number of stones as the birthday to celebrate, or a ring or bracelet with a particular shape, or even a piece with an engraving meaningful to the recipient.
How Personalized Jewelry is Born
The initial idea always comes from the client: it is then up to the goldsmith to bring it to life through the various phases of jewelry production.
The process that leads to the creation of custom jewelry first passes through conception, which begins with the drawing and fundamental choices: the metal, which can be yellow, white, or rose gold; the precious stones, from classic diamonds to more unusual stones; the appearance, to create a piece of jewelry with original forms and lines.
One then moves to the actual design, which uses the latest 3D technologies to present the client with a model that gives an idea of the final piece of jewelry. The next phase is that of creation, which brings the piece to life: in the goldsmith workshop first the resin model is created, then the metal is cast, worked with the most suitable techniques to create the desired forms, and the chosen stones are set. Innovative technologies combine with artisanal experience to create personalized jewelry that are truly unique pieces, with a value that exceeds the material one, because they are conceived and created exclusively for the people for whom they are intended.
Making a Piece of Jewelry Unique
A ring or necklace made specifically are certainly appreciated, but to create personalized jewelry it is not always necessary to start from scratch. Sometimes, in fact, it may be enough to change a stone, or choose a different workmanship, to make a piece unique. Wedding rings, for example, can be made exclusively with knurling or chasing, but even diamond bands are customizable with the choice of colored diamonds or other stones.
Another important aspect, especially for a gift, is the packaging. The packaging can also be made unique with details such as the certificate of authenticity with the name of the person receiving the jewelry, or a card to be personalized by hand.
Personalized Jewelry Online Too
Finally, the convenience of online services should not be underestimated, which allow the client both to directly choose engravings or other personalizations, and to meet the designers and goldsmith artisans who will bring their jewelry idea to life.
An example is The Dreambox collection by Daverio1933, which includes rings, bracelets, pendants and earrings that can be personalized even during purchase on the online shop. Depending on the jewelry chosen, in fact, the client finds, in addition to the description, various options that concern for example the color of the gold (white, yellow or rose) and the carats (9 or 18), or the color of the enamel, or even the dimensions, from small to extra large. In this way, one can choose personalized jewelry directly on the shop page and order them online.

Another customizable collection is Timeless, classic timeless jewelry with diamonds, such as solitaire rings, diamond bands, tennis bracelets, earrings and light point pendants. For all these pieces of jewelry one can choose the carats of the diamonds and the size of the rings, but also replace the diamonds with other precious stones. Even in these cases the choices can be made online, within the shop. And also online one can personalize the packaging: at the time of order checkout one can indicate the date and name of who is buying the jewelry.
