Golden Palace Jewelry makes custom jewelry to order at our store at 260 Main St, Orange, NJ, from gold nameplate necklaces to one-of-a-kind pieces. Most custom pieces are made in 10 to 14 business days, and we go over every detail with you before anything is made.
Custom work is what we are best known for. It is also the kind of order where small details matter most, so here is how the process works and what to think about before you come in.
What kind of custom jewelry can you make?
The most popular custom piece at our counter is the gold nameplate necklace. You can see examples in our nameplate collection. We also do other custom work, and the best way to find out whether we can make your idea is to bring it to us. Some starting points:
-
Nameplate necklaces in script, block or other lettering, plain or with a diamond-cut finish.
-
Two-tone designs that mix yellow and white gold.
-
Pieces with stones, such as diamond accents.
-
Personal touches like hearts or other shapes added to a design.
For anything outside these, call or text (973) 673-3800 or stop by with a sketch or photo, and we will talk through it with you.
How does the custom process work?
-
Tell us your idea. A name, a photo, a sketch, or just a feeling. We will ask questions to narrow it down.
-
Pick the details. Karat, color, size, font, finish, stones and chain.
-
Check the spelling and layout. We confirm every letter with you. This is the step that matters most.
-
We make it. Custom pieces are made to order in 10 to 14 business days.
-
Pick it up or receive it. We will check that you are happy with how it turned out.
Which karat should I choose for a custom piece?
This depends on how often you will wear it and the look you want.
| Karat |
Pure gold |
Good for |
| 10K |
41.7% |
Everyday wear, harder metal, lighter yellow tone |
| 14K |
58.3% |
Daily wear with a warmer yellow color |
| 18K |
75% |
Deepest yellow color, softer, best with careful wear |
For a nameplate you plan to wear every day, many people choose 10K or 14K because the thin edges of letters hold their shape better in harder gold. Ask us and we will walk you through it.
How long does custom jewelry take?
Custom nameplates and other custom pieces are made to order in 10 to 14 business days. Business days do not count weekends, so two weeks of business days is close to three weeks on the calendar. If you need a piece for a birthday, graduation, anniversary or holiday, order early and give yourself room.
What should I double-check before ordering?
-
Spelling. Look at every letter, especially names with more than one common spelling.
-
Capital letters and accents. Decide if you want them.
-
Size. A long name and a short name look very different at the same height. We can show you examples.
-
Chain length. An 18-inch chain sits near the collarbone on most people; a 20-inch chain sits a bit lower.
-
Solid gold or plated. Our listings say plainly whether a piece is solid gold or plated.
Can I return a custom piece?
Custom and personalized pieces are final sale, because they are made just for you. That said, we will work with you to make sure you are happy with it. That is why we check every detail with you before we start. In-stock pieces are different: they can be returned within 30 days of delivery if unworn, undamaged and in the original packaging.
