Custom design
Custom design
Stittgen Fine Jewelry is Vancouver’s pre-eminent custom jeweler with a strong design tradition that goes back over half a century. Staying true to the legacy of Karl Stittgen, our strengths lie in designing and crafting highly personal works of art that stand the test of time.
Those wishing to take advantage of our custom design services are in for a memorable experience. We start with a clear understanding of your true needs and desires. If a form for the jewelry piece has already taken shape in your mind, we will work with you to capture it in a representation that will help you visualize the piece. We then source the perfect stones to complement the design – the key being to achieve harmony between material and form. We communicate in your preferred medium at each step of the process, and ensure that your experience brings confidence, knowledge and joy.
The Stittgen difference is that we create the piece to tell a story – your story.
