Bespoke · Custom Design
Made Only for You
Custom jewelry design, sourced and built around your story.
ZHIVA designs bespoke fine jewelry — engagement rings, heirloom redesigns, and one-of-one pieces — sourced and made to your vision. We pair rare and old-cut diamonds with original design, so what you wear has never existed before and never will again.
Why Bespoke
We don't decorate. We build something that's yours.
A bespoke commission is for the piece that doesn't exist yet — the ring that holds your story, the redesign that brings an heirloom back to life. We guide you from first idea to finished jewel with old-world sourcing and modern design, and we tell you the truth at every step. No pressure, no filler, no 'timeless elegance.' Just a piece that's unmistakably yours.
The Process
Your Commission, Step by Step
Tap each step to see what happens — and what's due, when.
Step 01
The Conversation
We start with you — your vision, the moment behind the piece, your goals, budget, and timeline. Everything is built from here.
Step 02
Design Direction
We present design ideas and references that translate your story into a wearable form, refining until it feels unmistakably yours.
Step 03
Begin the Engagement
A $300 sourcing fee opens your commission and secures the search. It is non-refundable and applied in full as credit toward your final total.
$300 · credited toward your piece
Step 04
Sourcing the Stones
We source and finalize your gems — old-cut diamonds, colored stones, and rare finds. We focus on natural stones, and we're happy to source lab-grown on request, including lab-grown old cuts.
Step 05
CAD & 3D Models
You review digital CAD renderings and 3D-printed models of your design, so you can hold the form before it's ever cast. We revise until it's right.
Step 06
Production
On your approval, a 50% payment begins production. From approval, your piece takes roughly 3–5 weeks depending on complexity.

Step 07
The Reveal & Delivery
When your piece is finished, we send photos and video for your approval. The final 50% balance is then due before delivery. Bespoke commissions are final — non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

What We Work With
The stones behind the design.
Tell us what you're after. If we don't have it, our network will find it.
Old-Cut Diamonds
Old European, old mine, rose, and transitional cuts — the diamonds with fire and history that modern cutting can't replicate.
Colored Gemstones
Sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and rare collector stones, sourced to your palette and your budget.
Lab-Grown, On Request
We focus on natural stones, but we'll gladly source lab-grown diamonds too — including lab-grown old cuts.
