Custom Jewellery Gifting
Whether celebrating a milestone birthday, a major anniversary, or transforming a cherished family heirloom into a modern classic, a bespoke Micheli piece turns life’s defining moments into lasting legacies.
What is the process for creating custom gift jewellery in Melbourne?
Custom gifting at Micheli Jewellery is a collaborative process where you work directly with our design team and master jewellers across our Melbourne boutiques. From initial design sketch and gemstone selection to precision crafting in our local workshop, the process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Every piece is crafted using ethically sourced diamonds, high-grade gemstones, and solid precious metals.

How The Custom Process Works
The Design Consultation
Meet with our designers in our Malvern or Moonee Ponds boutique (or via virtual consultation). We discuss your vision, inspiration, timeframe, and budget parameters to establish a clear creative direction.
Gemstone Sourcing
Inspect a hand-selected collection of diamonds or vivid coloured gemstones. We guide you through cut, origin, and characteristics so you choose the exact stone that speaks to your design.
Master Craftsmanship
Once the design is finalised, our Melbourne workshop brings the piece to life, combining traditional hand-forging techniques with fine detail work.
The Final Reveal
Your finished creation is presented in our signature boutique packaging, complete with valuation certificates, warranty coverage, and lifetime cleaning support.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom jewellery piece take to make?
Our standard lead time for bespoke jewellery is 4 to 6 weeks from design approval and gemstone selection. If you have an upcoming date or event, contact our team early so we can accommodate your required timeline.
How do I figure out jewellery style or size without spoiling the surprise?
During your initial consultation, our team will guide you through discreet ways to determine sizing or aesthetic preferences. Bringing photos of their current everyday jewellery or discreetly borrowing a ring they already wear helps us guide the design accurately. Alternatively, custom pendants and bracelets offer exceptional options where precise ring sizing isn't required.
Can I use inherited gold or gemstones for a custom gift?
Yes. We regularly remodel antique and family jewellery. We can reset client-provided gemstones into fresh, contemporary mountings or melt existing solid gold to incorporate sentimental heritage into a brand-new design.
Do I need an appointment for a custom gifting consultation?
While drop-ins are welcome at our Malvern and Moonee Ponds boutiques, we strongly recommend booking a consultation in advance. This ensures a dedicated master jeweller or designer is set aside specifically for your session.
