What Our Clients Say


★★★★★

Jean Paul listens and collaborates with me to create a stunning piece of jewelry. I have had the pleasure of bringing three different custom projects to JP - all of which he has been able to delightfully execute. When shopping at Edward Jewelry, you can relax and delight in the journey.

— J., Acampo, CA
★★★★★

They have designed and made rings for me, as well as sourcing a selection of beautiful gemstones so I can design my own jewelry. Their service has always been impeccable. Even now that I live in Arizona, I still do business with them and recommend them to others.

— M.W.B., Tucson, AZ
★★★★★

My family and I have been customers of Edward's for many years. They are patient, knowledgeable and helpful, and are willing to work with any budget. We would not consider going anywhere else for our jewelry purchases and trust them implicitly to help us get exactly the item we wanted.

— G.M., Menlo Park, CA

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before starting your custom design.


  • How much does custom jewelry cost at Edward's Jewelry?

    Custom jewelry pricing depends on the metal, gemstone selection, and complexity of the design. Simpler pieces typically start around $2,000, while custom engagement rings with larger stones or intricate settings can range considerably higher. We work with clients across a wide range of budgets - as one long-time client put it, our team is "willing to work with any budget." During your free consultation, Jean Paul or Jacklin will walk you through realistic options before any commitment is made. There are no surprises after the fact.

  • How long does the custom jewelry design process take?

    Most custom pieces are completed within 2–3 weeks after the 3D design is approved. The process begins with a consultation, followed by a detailed 3D digital model within 3–5 business days - which you review, request changes to, and approve before any crafting begins. For proposals or events with a fixed date, we recommend starting at least 6–8 weeks in advance to allow comfortable room for revisions and any gemstone sourcing.

  • Do you design custom engagement rings in San Francisco?

    Yes - custom engagement rings are one of our most-requested services. We work with couples throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area to design rings from scratch: your choice of diamond shape, metal (platinum, 18k yellow, white, or rose gold), and setting style. Every ring includes a full 3D preview before crafting begins. Our showroom is at 888 Brannan Street in SoMa, and video consultations are available for clients anywhere in the Bay Area or beyond.

  • Where can I get custom jewelry made in San Francisco?

    Edward's Jewelry & Imports has been a trusted custom jewelry maker in San Francisco since 1983. Our showroom at 888 Brannan Street, SoMa is open by appointment, Monday–Friday 10AM–4:30PM. We serve clients across the Bay Area - from San Jose to Marin - as well as out-of-state clients who work with us remotely via video consultation. We ship finished pieces anywhere in the US, fully insured.

  • What types of custom jewelry do you make?

    Our custom jewelry designers in San Francisco work across a full range of pieces: engagement rings, wedding bands, anniversary and eternity rings, fashion rings, pendants, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. We specialize in custom sapphire jewelry, fancy yellow diamond pieces, and multi-stone designs. Jean Paul - a GIA Graduate Diamonds diploma holder with over 20 years of experience - leads the design process and has completed hundreds of unique custom pieces for Bay Area clients.

  • Can you source a specific diamond or colored gemstone for my design?

    Yes. We have direct access to GIA-certified loose diamonds - including fancy yellow diamonds, blue and pink sapphires, rubies, and emeralds - that aren't available through standard retail. Tell us the carat range, color, clarity, and cut you have in mind and we'll present options. Because we own our entire inventory outright - rather than consigning from manufacturers - we can offer better pricing and full quality control.

  • Can you redesign heirloom jewelry or work with a stone I already own?

    Absolutely - heirloom redesign is something we genuinely love doing. Whether you have a family stone without a setting, an inherited ring that needs updating, or old pieces you'd like to reimagine entirely, we'll evaluate your stone, advise on the best design approach, and handle the full custom process from there. Many of our long-time clients have upgraded diamonds and redesigned pieces with us across multiple decades and multiple generations.
