The Jewelry Design Process: Collaboration and Craftsmanship
Designing personalized jewelry is a collaborative journey, and we believe that your input and vision are essential. During our design consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your style, preferences, and the story you want to tell through your jewelry. Our team of skilled designers will then translate your ideas into detailed sketches and 3D renderings, allowing you to visualize the final piece before it’s even created.

Gemstone Selection: Unlocking the Beauty of Natural and Lab-Grown Wonders
At the heart of every personalized jewelry piece is the carefully selected gemstone. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless allure of diamonds, the captivating colors of sapphires, or the unique charm of lab-grown gems, our gemologists are here to guide you through the selection process.
We pride ourselves on our extensive collection of precious and semi-precious gemstones, each meticulously examined for its color, clarity, carat, and cut. Our specialists will help you navigate the nuances of gemstone properties, ensuring that your chosen stone not only aligns with your personal preferences but also possesses the optimal balance of beauty and durability.
For those seeking an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative, we also offer a stunning selection of synthetic gemstones, such as moissanite and cubic zirconia. These lab-grown gems boast remarkable optical properties and are an increasingly popular choice for modern jewelry enthusiasts.
Jewelry Setting Techniques: Elevating the Gem’s Beauty
The way a gemstone is set can dramatically impact the overall aesthetic of a jewelry piece. At Shelby Gem Factory, we employ a wide range of traditional and contemporary setting techniques to showcase the natural beauty of our gems.
From the classic prong setting, which gently cradles the stone, to the modern tension setting, which creates the illusion of a floating gem, our skilled artisans have mastered the art of jewelry setting. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless elegance of a bezel setting or the captivating sparkle of a halo setting, we’ll work closely with you to select the perfect technique that complements your chosen gemstone and enhances the overall design.

Through an open dialogue, our designers will work closely with you to explore design inspirations, color palettes, and symbolism that resonates with your personal story. Together, we’ll refine the sketches and 3D renderings until the final design perfectly encapsulates your vision.
Throughout the entire process, you’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback and input, ensuring that the end result is a true reflection of your style and personality. Whether you’re seeking to create a timeless heirloom or a bold statement piece, our commitment to your satisfaction is unwavering.
