At West & Co. we love to make custom jewelry for people. Designer jewelry, made just for you, is our passion. We have developed a unique system with a combination of cutting edge computer design and manufacturing technology, traditional jewelry techniques and our unequaled attention to detail and craftsmanship. This makes creating that special piece of jewelry both fun and affordable. We take great pride in not just selling you a quality piece of jewelry, but jewelry that exceeds your greatest expectations, custom made just for you.   Step 1: Creating the Design - Working with you by phone, e-mail, fax or a one on one meeting(s) in our showroom, we will take your ideas, pictures, drawings etc. and begin to create your very own custom design. Don’t worry if you love the idea of custom jewelry but don’t know what you would like, we have lots of experience in helping you find that perfect design. We will also help you choose the diamond(s) or colored gem(s) that best suite your needs, as well as answer any other questions or concerns you may have.
  
  Step 2: The Design – Once we have settled on your design, we create a 3D virtual computer model of your jewelry using the latest CAD (computer aided design) technology. We then will send you, or sit down with you, to show you a full color 3D computer rendering (they look like a photo of finished jewelry) of your custom design. Not sure you like what you see, or if you would like changes, don’t worry it’s virtual! We will go back to step one and rework your custom design as many times as necessary to ensure that you are 100% happy!
   Step 3: The Wax Model – Once you have approved the finial design we then create a wax model(s) using the latest CAM (computer aided machining) technology. This wax model is exact and will be used in the actual making of your jewelry. We use an ancient technique called lost wax casting to create your jewelry. You can also look at the wax before it is cast if you like. You will be able to see first hand the exact dimensions and much of the detail of your jewelry. As before, if you don’t like what you see, we go back to step 1.
   Step 4: Casting and Finishing – The next step is to cast and finish your custom jewelry in your chosen metal or combination of metals. We then will set any diamonds or other gems and give the piece a polished finish of your choice. That is all there is to it! Your custom made, one of a kind, just for you and only you jewelry, that is now ready to be worn and enjoyed for years to come.
