Our unique and inspired designs are handcrafted in San Francisco from reclaimed precious metals and ethically sourced gemstones. We specialize in creating meaningful client experiences through our custom design and professional jewelry services in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Custom Jewelry Design

D&H Jewelers is a design house that revels in the opportunity to blend these old-world techniques with modern technologies. Our design team has created hundreds of custom jewelry pieces, collaborating with our clients through each stage of the project from conception to delivery. The meaningful process of creating one’s custom engagement ring, wedding band, or personal treasured item, is our specialty and something we delight in.

The custom jewelry design process starts with a one-on-one design consultation with our jewelry experts, after which, we hand-select the perfect conflict free gemstones and recycled metals for each tailor-made project. We work with:

-GIA certified diamonds, including Botswana and Canadian origins
-Up-cycled diamonds, including vintage and antique Old Mine Cut and European Cut diamonds with third party SCS Global ethical origin certification
-Sapphires and colored stones from American and small artisan mines with clear chains of custody and Fair Trade certification
-Rose-cut, unique shaped, and fancy colored diamonds

After the materials are chosen, the custom jewelry creation starts to take life through a process of sketching, wax modeling, and Computer Aided Design (CAD). We encourage client feedback at this stage, and once the design is finalized, each piece is individually hand-crafted by our team of jewelers.

We offer additional specialty design services such as resetting/redesigning your existing gemstones and jewelry, gemstone re-polishing, and hand engraving. All D&H custom-made jewelry includes a complimentary appraisal for insurance purposes.

Jewelry Appraisals

Wear and enjoy your precious heirlooms with the peace of mind that comes with insurance protection. At D&H Jewelers we offer jewelry appraisal services for insurance purposes. An official appraisal is the legal document required by insurers for coverage.

The process of having an item appraised includes a one-on-one appointment with our expert on-staff Graduate Gemologist with over 25 years experience. The jewelry item is evaluated, analyzed and tested. Any relevant value factors as well as historical and artistic factors are explained and the legal appraisal document is produced and signed.
