Why Custom, Why Here

A one-of-one piece, from someone who'll still be here to fix it.

H&Z has assisted clients custom-designing engagement rings, wedding rings, and special-occasion pieces for many years — from a first sketch on paper to a finished ring on someone's hand. There's no rotating showroom floor and no sales quota: just our team, working through what you actually want, one appointment at a time.

That includes resets of inherited stones, redesigns of pieces you've outgrown, and full repairs or resizing on jewelry you already own — not just new builds.

How A Custom Piece Gets Made

Four Steps, No Guesswork.

01

Consultation & Sketch

Book a free, private appointment. Bring a reference photo, an inherited stone, or just an idea — our designer sketches concepts with you in the room.

02

Stone & Metal Selection

Choose a lab-grown or mined diamond (IGI/GIA certified), coloured stone, or your own, in 14K white, yellow, or rose gold.

03

Hand-Built On-Site

Your piece is built and set in the Ancaster workshop — not shipped out to a third-party factory.

04

Fitting & Lifetime Care

Final fitting, sizing, and finishing before pickup — plus resizing and repair whenever you need it, for as long as you own it.

What We Build

Custom Work, Start to Finish

Custom Engagement Rings

Any budget starting from 0.50 carat — lab-grown or mined, your choice of cut, metal, and setting.

Custom Wedding Bands

Matching sets or independent designs, in white, yellow, or rose gold, for both partners.

Heirloom Resets & Redesigns

Bring an inherited or outgrown piece — we reset the stone into a design that fits how you'd actually wear it today.

Repairs & Resizing

All types of repair and resizing work on jewelry you already own, custom-made here or not.

Common Questions

Custom Jewelry, Answered

It depends entirely on the stone and design, but we can work with any budget starting from 0.50 carat. Bring your range to the consultation and we'll show you what's realistic within it — no pressure to go bigger.

Yes. We regularly reset inherited stones and redesign pieces clients already own into something they'll actually wear.

Timelines vary by design and stone sourcing — we'll give you a real estimate at your consultation rather than a generic number here.

Either — it's your choice. Both are independently certified by IGI or GIA. Lab-grown typically runs 50–70% less for a comparable stone.
