Custom

"We understand the need for custom."

Our mission is to connect each of our clients with their perfect piece. The world of jewelry has changed and it has become difficult to find that something special in a market filled with the same off-the-shelf items. Pieces that were once custom crafted for the individual are now factory produced for the masses. But we believe that jewelry should be meaningful and intimate, and not something sold like a commodity. The item should be personal; something that truly embodies the energy of the wearer. It represents a relationship, whether with oneself or to another. We recognize that these relationships are infinitely unique and most often demand something completely new. Custom is our specialty.

 

Bringing Imagination to Life

What sets us apart from other jewelers or designers is that we are completely vertically integrated. Our obsession over detail has required us to take complete creative control of the entire custom process.  We are expert goldsmiths, stone setters, and CAD designers and work in all genres including vintage inspired, organic, contemporary, symbolic, and sentimental jewelry.  We can remodel your existing piece or work with a stone that you may already have. With generations of experience and the best technology at our disposal, we are confident that we can create the perfect piece for you.

"Some people are intimidated by the prospect of custom. We are supportive, completely transparent, and are here to guide you. It's our aim to make this fun and to remove stress and ambiguity from the process."

The Design Process

Four steps, guided start to finish.

Initial design consultation

Initial Design Consultation

This is a no obligation meeting where we assess the feasibility of your project and draft an initial design concept together. You give us ideas, your budget, and a timeline. We give you a quote and if you decide to move forward, we require a 50% deposit to proceed. We are available to meet with you right here in our shop in L.A. or virtually through email, phone, or video chat.

Gemstone/Diamond Review

If your project calls for a substantial center stone, this is a follow-up meeting where we will present you with several options to choose from. We will guide you through making this selection and are happy to show you as many stones as possible. Please note that any stone selections exceeding $1,000 must be paid for at this time. Rest at ease, in the highly unlikely scenario in which we cannot get the right stone for you any prior deposits will be fully refunded.

Gemstone and diamond review
Design review with 3D rendering

Design Review

We design most items on a jewelry specific 3D platform. Once we have completed the model, you are invited back for a meeting where you can see a 3D rendering of what the piece will look like. We are 100% committed to your satisfaction, and will make as many changes as you may need. We only begin producing your piece once you give us the green light to move forward.

Project Pickup/Shipment

Once the piece is completed, you will get a notification and an invitation to make a pickup appointment. We will be there to deliver your piece to you with excitement and will provide you with care instructions and an appraisal. The remaining balance is due at this time.

We are always here to answer any questions and look forward to making that glorious piece with you soon!

FAQs

Yes — our pieces are handmade and produced right here in Los Angeles.

We primarily work in fine metals: 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K gold (in yellow, white, and rose) as well as platinum. We can also use specialty plating to achieve different looks.

We do not work with costume/base metals such as brass, copper, or steel, and we generally don’t take custom projects in silver (unless it’s a bulk inquiry).

Have something unique—another gold alloy, your own gold, or an heirloom piece you’d like to incorporate? Just ask. We’re happy to talk through what’s possible.

Our standard lead time is 6–8 weeks so we can deliver the best piece and the best experience. If you have a sooner due date, we can often accommodate a rush for an additional rush fee. Please note that more complex projects may take longer—and we’ll always communicate timeline expectations upfront.

Yes! You’re welcome to bring your own design. Come in with a fully formed idea, an inspiration photo, a Pinterest board, or even a simple sketch — we can take it from there and help refine it into a piece that’s truly yours.

We source our stones through a trusted network of established Los Angeles (and worldwide) stone dealers we’ve worked with for 20+ years. Those long-term relationships let us hand-select stones with confidence and prioritize ethical, responsible sourcing for every piece.

Yes — we work with both lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds.

We love working with your own stones and gold if doable. We’re especially good at transforming older jewelry into something new, wearable, and deeply sentimental—whether that means resetting a stone into a new design, melting/reusing your gold, or reimagining a piece while keeping its meaning intact. Bring all the old jewelry!

There’s no premium for custom pieces. Since we make everything you see in the case, we can make it for you too — tailored to your size, stones, and vision, no extra charge.

Please reach out to us by text, and we’ll see if we can accommodate a resizing so your piece fits perfectly. Please note that resizing may cause a delay in shipping, as we may need to recreate or adjust the piece for you.

Because we’re custom local jewelers in Los Angeles and handcraft everything in-house, we can customize any piece for you. Whether you prefer 18k white gold, natural diamonds instead of lab-grown, or blue sapphires in place of rubies, we can make it happen.

Unfortunately any missed appointments or significant changes in design will push your due date out.

What they are saying

S.L

Weiss Jewelers helped me design my custom engagement ring and made it beautifully, sturdily, and perfectly. Working with the Weiss Jewelers was an absolute pleasure. It’s clear that this couple really cares about making their clients happy by giving them exactly what they want. The craftsmanship can not be over stated, their pieces and my ring in particular are just perfection. In addition to great service and perfect products, the price is fair. No matter your project, you will be satisfied at Weiss Jewelers!

My husband and I wanted custom wedding bands. We searched throughout Los Angeles, meeting with at least half a dozen jewelers. Daniel and Sara were BY FAR the BEST. From beginning to end, they were an absolute joy to work with. Their creativity and passion for their work is obvious. They were always willing to work with our ideas and our budget. They were kind and professional the entire time. Most importantly, we both ended up with rings we absolutely love. I've been married for two months now and I still can't stop staring at my ring. I'll just stop in the middle of my day sometimes and stare at it. It's so unique and beautiful and totally and completely me! All of the other jewelers we met with scoffed at our unconventional tastes and ideas, or told us that it would be impossible to make the rings we wanted within our budget. Daniel and Sara didn't bat an eye. They got what we wanted right away and were actually excited to work with us. They even completely redesigned my ring (free of charge) when their first go at it wasn't exactly what I wanted. They're consummate professionals and true artists. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I went to Weiss Jewelry with an idea on paper of a design I wished to have created. When I returned, I was astonished when I saw the idea I had brought Mr. Weiss on paper now a reality. A very unique creation. A very fine piece of Jewelry, a truly work of art above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend my family and friends and actually the community at large, to Weiss Jewelry.

J.S

When another jeweler, after two weeks of trying, was unable to realize the concept for our wedding ring, Daniel Weiss confidently accepted the job. His confidence was well- placed, and he fashioned a pair of fantastic rings from the 18k gold bracelet, sterling silver ring, and 24k gold ring we provided.
Now these significant pieces of jewelry from our past are forever enshrined in the wedding rings he made for my husband and me. Thanks, Daniel!

There’s a reason why Weiss Jewelry has been here for years. They are so good at what they do :) plus, their jewelry is made with quality. I can’t be happier with my 2 custom rings!!

Planning on making my third ring with them very soon.

My design for a gold pendant was beautifully created by Weiss jewelers. My wife’s smile when she opened the wrapper was priceless.

I have been going to Weiss for about a year now and everything has exceeded my expectations every time! From repairs to custom work, their creativity and patience knows no bounds. I am proud to consider them our families personal jewelers and will always come back and give them our business. Thank you guys for all of your amazing work!
