Custom Design at JosephK
Crafting custom jewelry the JosephK way: designed by you, perfected by us. Personal, creative, and handcrafted in Westside Portland.
Your jewelry should be as personal as your story. Whether you’re dreaming of an engagement ring that captures your love, redesigning a family heirloom, or creating something entirely new, our custom design process turns ideas into meaningful, lasting pieces.
At JosephK Jewelers, we believe the best designs come from collaboration. You bring the inspiration — a photo, a sketch, or even just a story — and we’ll bring the craftsmanship and creativity to make it real.
Proudly based in Westside Portland, we welcome customers from Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Hillsboro, and even Eastsiders who make the trip for our friendly, one-on-one service and beautiful results.
A Legacy of Custom Craftsmanship
Custom jewelry has always been part of who we are. Following in his father’s footsteps, Joseph Kassab continues a family tradition of design, precision, and care. Our in-house team blends traditional goldsmithing techniques with modern technology like 3D CAD design and 3D printing — so you can see your piece take shape long before it’s cast in metal.
Each project is guided by craftsmanship, transparency, and collaboration. Our goal is simple: to make the experience as meaningful as the jewelry itself — thoughtful, personal, and true to you.
Our Custom Design Process
Here’s what you can expect when you entrust us with your vision for a custom piece here at JosephK Jewelers.
Dream & Discover
It all starts with a conversation. Bring your ideas, your inspiration, or your sentimental piece that deserves a new life. We’ll discuss styles, metals, gemstones, and how you want your jewelry to feel when you wear it.
Design & Visualization
Using advanced 3D CAD software, our designers translate your vision into a detailed rendering. You’ll be able to see every curve and angle. And we’ll make adjustments until it’s exactly right.
Wax Model & Approval
Next, we create a 3D wax model or printed prototype so you can see and hold your design before it’s cast. This step ensures the proportions, fit, and details are perfect.
Casting & Finishing
Once you approve the model, our jewelers cast your piece using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Stones are set by hand, and every detail is polished to perfection.
The Reveal
Your finished design is nothing less than a reflection of your story. We’ll walk you through final care tips and cleaning recommendations, so it stays just as dazzling for decades to come.
