Pendant created from a drawing

Whether you are going to see a jeweler in your city, or contacting an online jeweler, you will need to make a sketch of your pendant project.

And yes !

Ask 10 people to draw a dog and you will end up with 10 different drawings.

All will have 4 legs and a head, but there will be small, big, different colors ... it is all these details, which make the difference, which will appear on your drawing.

Oh I know, you're going to tell me it's complicated because you do not know how to draw.

But that's not an excuse!

Here is a drawing of my godchild who served as a basis for the realization of his personalized pendant:

If you are thinking of creating your own design by taking your inspiration elsewhere, then you can easily edit the photo of a jewel in the pen to show the changes you want.

This is what made this person who chose an existing pendant model to change the design, dimensions and type of stone, and here is the result:

Depending on your expectations and your budget, a jeweler can offer you 925 or 950 silver and 18, 14 or 9 carat gold.

It's up to you to know what you want and to know your budget.

Why?

Because it will then be easier for the jeweler contacted to understand your need to offer you options or alternatives to get your project into the envelope of your budget.

How much does it cost?

Impossible to give you an answer as the estimate of your project depends on the size of the jewel, the chosen materials, the working time and the hourly rate of your jeweler.

For a realization of a simple jewel in solid silver, it will be necessary to count at least 150 euros in general.

Compare the quotes with different jewelers and you will quickly have an idea if your project is feasible for your budget.
