Collaborate directly with Gina Rose to transform your vision - or your treasured heirlooms - into a modern masterpiece of ethical luxury
A Collaboration Built on Integrity
With over 23 years in the luxury jewelry world, I’ve learned that the most precious pieces are the ones that tell a personal story. My custom design service is more than just creating jewelry; it’s a partnership. I founded Gina Rose Jewelry on the belief that true luxury is transparent, ethical, and deeply personal.
Whether you're dreaming of a completely new design, reimagining a family heirloom, or creating the perfect engagement ring, I will personally guide you through every step. Together, we will create a piece that is not only beautiful but is a true reflection of your values and your story.
Warmly,
Gina Rose
Our Transparent Four-Step Custom Journey
Share Your Vision
It all begins with a conversation. In our initial consultation (in-person in Chicago or via video call), we'll discuss your ideas, inspirations, budget, and timeline. We’ll explore sketches and talk about how we can use your existing metals and gemstones or source new, ethically-vetted materials for your piece.
Bringing Ideas to Life
Based on our conversation, I will develop initial design concepts and sketches. For more intricate pieces, we will create a detailed 3D digital model (CAD rendering). This allows you to see your piece from every angle and make any refinements, ensuring the final design is exactly what you envisioned.
Artisanship & Ethics in Action
Once you approve the design, our meticulous crafting process begins. Whether we are melting down your heirloom gold or using our 100% recycled metals, every step is handled with the utmost care in our Chicago studio. If we are sourcing gemstones, you will receive full transparency on their origin and ethical journey.
Your Story, Reimagined
The moment your vision becomes a reality. Your finished custom piece is presented to you, beautifully packaged and ready to be worn and cherished for generations. It’s more than jewelry; it's a piece of you, crafted with integrity.
Luxury with a Conscience
Breathe New Life into Old Gold
Have unworn jewelry or family heirlooms collecting dust? We specialize in repurposing your existing gold, silver, or platinum to create your new design. Alternatively, all new metal used in our studio is 100% recycled, ensuring no new mining is required for your piece.
Beauty Without Compromise
We can expertly unset and incorporate the diamonds and gemstones from your existing jewelry into a new design. Should your vision require new stones, we are committed to 100% transparency. We source exclusively from trusted suppliers who provide conflict-free, ethically mined, or lab-grown gems that meet the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
The typical duration from the initial consultation to the finished piece spans approximately 3 weeks. This timeframe may vary depending on the number of revisions involved and the specific procurement of stones. A more precise schedule will be provided during the initial consultation.
The initial 30 minute consultation is complementary where you would be given an estimate. Then there is a non-refundable $250 design fee for a detailed sketch or Computer Aided Design rendering that is taken off the total. When the design is approved, 50% of the total is due to begin manufacturing and sourcing, and the remainder due when completed.
For metal, we can work with Sterling Silver, Gold and Platinum. As for stones, typically yes, unless they are chipped/broken, or the risk that removing them from their current piece would cause them to become chipped/broken. Specific details would be discussed during your complementary consultation.
