Custom Design

Custom Jewelry isn’t just the rearranging of parts. Durability, wearability and creative design need to be considered during the entire process. What’s good for one person may not work for another. It takes skill to find the balance.

Beaudet Jewelry has been at the forefront of true custom design for over 25 years in Eugene. Charles Beaudet is a second-generation jeweler with broad experience as a designer, gemologist, jeweler and gemstone buyer. Bringing these skills together for a customer allows the designs to meet their needs as well as their desires for the look and feel of the jewelry piece.

At Beaudet Jewelry, we work with people and for them. Most designers use their design tools subliminally. That way the client is virtually left out of the process. We share what works and why. We then let them decide on the path. What we love most about doing custom design are the people.

Charles Beaudet has designed and created everything from engagement rings to chalices. He even created the Ring Of Rings for a client, taken from Tolkin’s book The Hobbit. It displayed elfish lettering that only showed up after heating by a candles flame. Pieces he helped his father with as an apprentice are now on display in the Milwaukee County Art Museum on the Lakefront in Wisconsin.

Charles loves that the designing and manufacturing of jewelry is an art that goes back thousands of years. He also loves the advantages of being on the forefront of technology. Our shop sports a new Laser Welding machine that can weld gold or platinum down to 2/10ths of a millimeter allowing repairs on antique jewelry unheard of just a couple of years ago. We're also proud of our Megascope that measures every facet and angle of a diamond. Fine cut adds beauty and demands appreciation in a diamond just as live music opens the soul to it’s beauty and excitement.
