# Custom Jewelry Design

Transform your vision into heirloom-quality fine jewelry. From concept sketches to finished pieces, DEEVE brings your ideas to life with handcrafted 14K and 18K gold and IGI certified lab-grown diamonds in our Ontario studio. All consultations by appointment only.

**IGI Certified Lab-Grown Diamonds**

Every diamond used in custom pieces is IGI certified — independently graded for cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Ethically sourced and identical in brilliance to mined diamonds.

**Solid 14K & 18K Gold**

Never plated, filled, or vermeil. Every custom piece is crafted in solid gold for lasting durability and heirloom quality.

**Ontario Studio**

In-person consultations at our Ontario studio allow you to see materials, discuss design options, and experience the craftsmanship firsthand. By appointment only.

**Lifetime Warranty**

Every custom piece is backed by DEEVE’s lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and craftsmanship — the same warranty as our ready-to-wear collection.
