Jewellery has a long history, spanning across many different cultures. Solitaire Jewellery has accumulated mastery of the craft, and has positioned itself as a premier custom jeweller based on the following attributes:

  • Custom manufacturing
  • Workmanship
  • Professionalism
  • Quality
  • Design Skills
  • Exclusivity
  • Value / Price

We are devoted to manufacturing the finest custom jewellery in the industry:

  • All work is done on our premises
  • You deal directly with our jewellery designer and manufacturer
  • We guarantee the quality of every piece, whether custom or ready-made
  • Exceptional personalized service
  • Competitive price

Custom work is our specialty, and we are proud to offer expert design and production services to our clients. We are not just offering a product, but an experience.

You may have an idea, a photograph or seen a design that you like, or you simply want to start from scratch. We can design your specific piece together. Bring in a sketch and we'll make it a reality. By using the latest in technology we can create the most intricate details at the highest quality.

We offer a unique perspective: seeing the piece before it even exists. This is important for our clients because it ensures the piece is vetted before it is transformed into a tangible item. Mass production has its place. But, any service or product that can be made to order, should be. This truism separates the quality and value our clients receive from that which is offered in the industry.
