This is the main focus of Jack Hood Jewelers,
Inc. As the name implies, we have the capability -- and willingness--
to make the article of jewelry you desire exactly the way
you want it. To make a long story short, with us, you can
have it your way!
There are many techniques that can be employed
in making a custom designed piece of jewelry. They range from
a simple assembly process, in which various parts and/or stones
are selected from available picture catalogs and assembled
by the goldsmith to create a finished piece. For example,
one might own or select for purchase a diamond or colored
gem of a certain shape and size, and then select a band style
and the appropriate setting (head) style and size to secure
the stone. When all parts are permanently assembled and polished
and the stone is set, the finished piece is unique to your
taste.
Many designs visualized by our clientele cannot
be accomplished strictly by the assembly process described
above for various reasons. Sometimes the principle stone is
of non-standard dimensions, and cannot be set in any available
standard dimension setting. There are several gold fabrication
techniques for making a setting to fit the stone.
Perhaps a desired band style is not available
as a "ready made" in the width or finish desired--it
can be custom made in a number of ways. These and other techniques
are available in our custom workshop. In addition to these,
however, one of the most versatile ways to make a desired
piece to custom dimensions is through the Lost
Wax Casting process, which is another option at Jack Hood
Jewelers, Inc. and is discussed below.

need to be re-strung.
Knotting is the process of tying a knot between
each pearl as you string them. It is done to prevent the loss
of multiple pearls if the strand were to break and to eliminate
friction wear between individual pearls.
