Custom Engagement Rings

custom design

Wojna has over 13 years experience doing jewellery repairs and custom designs in gold and silver. 

She took the 3 year Goldsmithing program at Georgian College and graduated with honours and 24 scholarships awarded for academic excellence and designs.

Emily would love to collaborate with you to create your unique customized piece of jewellery. Each order is designed and hand crafted with great care, from first sketches to the final product.

All custom work is handmade north of Kingston, Ontario 

We can source Canadian Diamonds, unique cut and rare gem stones and pearls.

Once the design is agreed upon please allow 6-8 weeks to create the piece from scratch.

All prices are available upon request and will vary based on each unique piece.

When designing a custom piece of jewellery for clients a rendering of various design options will be presented along with an estimate of cost and time to create the custom piece. Every piece we create uses different techniques and materials and vary in price. We are able to source Canadian diamonds, coloured diamonds and custom cut gem stones of all kinds. 

Wojna uses only the highest of quality materials and gemstones, able to source rare pearls and unique custom cut gem stones. We pride ourselves on our integrity in the work produce and guarantee the longevity and timeless design of each piece created.
  

Custom work often costs more than ready made designs so it is not possible to make an existing ring for less in the same materials because the custom services bill additional hours and time. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

We accept all repair jobs. 

 

I SAW ONE OF YOUR RINGS BUT IT IS SOLD OUT

or I  have seen a vintage/bespoke ring I like elsewhere, can you draw inspiration from it and recreate something similar?

  • Taking inspiration from our existing designs is our specialty
  • Exact replicas, duplicates of lost jewellery, or antique replication are not guaranteed and evaluated on a case by case basis

If you have seen a piece of mine but it is no longer available, I am happy to make something similar. If you have any ideas on how you might like to customize it or tweak the design, I can work with you to create something perfect and just for you.

MADE TO ORDER:

WE OFFER A RANGE OF RING DESIGNS ON OUR WEBSITE MADE TO ORDER.

These handmade pieces are completed from scratch, but requiring no additional meetings or estimations. Simply order the ring in your size, karat of gold, gold colour, and refer to the timing guide for turnaround and approximate dispatch time.

BESPOKE:

BESPOKE JEWELLERY IS ONE OF A KIND AND TAILORED TO YOUR INSPIRATION.

Some people may refer to this as custom jewellery as well. Buying a bespoke/custom ring is a fun experience of designing a special piece from start to finish! I promise it’s not as hard as you think, and so many people say that I make it easy and stress free. You may have many ideas of how your dream ring might look and need help assembling the ideas to make a plan.

If you have a particular deadline, please get in touch so we can let you know if it is feasible with our current workload. We unfortunately do not attempt rush orders to keep the quality of work to our standards.

Jewellery care

Jewellery care can be very easily done at home to extend the life of your jewellery and keep it looking beautiful without having to visit a professional for cleaning.

Your ring may need occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove residue from the gemstones that may build up with normal wear. Scrubbing your jewellery with warm water, dish soap and a toothbrush is the most effective, safe and gentle way of cleaning your piece from Emily. Rinse after cleaning and pat dry with a soft cloth. You can also use a blowdyer to remove any water spots. Remember to scrub behind the stones, as most build up will be hidden in the backs of the setting, which could be why your ring still looks lack luster after scrubbing the top.

It is safe to wash your hands, or shower with gold and diamond, sapphire and enamel jewelry made by Emily. We recommend removing engagement or wedding bands while applying hand lotions to prevent build up of residue around the settings that will cause your jewelry to lack sparkle. It is better to remove jewellery while you sleep and set aside in a special dish or on a ring holder. Always wear gloves when handling toxic or abrasive cleaning products.

To protect softer gems such as pearl and opal from damaging chemicals, avoid using these products while wearing lotions or perfumes as they may compromise the gemstones.

Gold will naturally scratch with usual wear, but can become very damaged and wear away, thinning the metal slowly, if it is not set aside during activities such as working out with equipment or weights, gardening, building and construction, art and sculpture making or classes, house painting, etc.

Store silver in tightly sealed plastic baggies to prevent tarnishing while not being worn.

Giving your jewellery a day off every now and then will extend the life of your special heirloom.

Testimonials

★★★★☆
“In 2015, I commissioned Emily to create a unique Christmas gift for my husband - an ornament/replica of his favourite lap steel guitar.

While not something that she would normally craft, Emily took exceptional care to ensure that the outcome was an extraordinary piece of art. It was her enthusiasm for the project that really appealed to me. She was willing, for example, to come on two occasions to see and photograph the actual guitar, to ensure authenticity. She truly seemed to enjoy creating the piece. The result of her efforts was not only unique; it was a beautiful and detailed replica that my husband now proudly displays on his desk. Emily's skill, attention to detail and customer service made for an incredible experience.”
