A personalized item is always special when given as a gift. However, one of a kind jewelry is even more personal. Whichever kind of jewelry you choose, a unique piece is always extra special. The extra thought and originality make it so.

It is not necessary for jewelry to cost a fortune. It is possible to make exquisite pieces from almost anything not just gems and precious metals. Beads, shells, wood even plastic can create a work of great beauty. Any parent will have at some time received a daisy chain or string of beads from a child and beamed with the pleasure of the gift. These tokens from our children are beyond value - simply priceless.

It has recently become popular to use the cremains of a person you loved. There are companies who can turn small amounts of ash into a stone that can then be used to make an item of your choosing. The piece becomes a way of carrying that person with you forever. This type of item is indeed a very special way to remember someone.

Creating a unique item does not necessarily mean it has to be made from scratch. Existing pieces can be modified or inscribed with a personal message or name. Even something as simple as engraving a birthday or anniversary date can be a wonderful way to present someone with a one off piece.

There are plenty of jewelers who can take your design and manufacture it for you. It may not be as expensive as you think, starting from just tens of dollars for a small item. The materials you choose will of course reflect in the cost with gold being much more costly than silver and diamonds more expensive than semi-precious stones. The time to make it also affects the cost considerably.

At the other end of the scale many high class jewelers in Sandy Springs, GA will make virtually anything you have in mind. Using the most precious of metals and stones these pieces can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and in some cases millions. Many of the worlds finest watchmakers will take orders for custom timepieces with your choice of materials used, colors and so on.

A lot of people also choose to have an item customized. A piece handed down through the family may be transformed into something completely different whilst retaining the sentimental value. An engagement ring for example can be broken down and made into a pair of beautiful earrings using the original stones and metals or a necklace made into two bracelets.

Should you undertake to have an item made for you, there are certain things to decide before approaching a jeweler. Types of stones or metals, color, size and of course what words you might like and in what script. Careful thought should go into the project to create the perfect personalized present to last for life. Prior to placing the final order speak to your jeweler and make sure all the details are correct.
