Does Celine Roelens provide custom-made jewellery?
For custom-made pieces, you can make an appointment with Celine. She specializes in unique high-end jewelry in 18Kt gold or platinum set with rare gemstones.
-
How long does it take for a custom-made jewel?
From the first appointment to finished jewel a 6 to 12 weeks but can also be longer depending on the availability of the gemstones. This means: appointment, design, discussion of the design and production of the jewel. If you still want to have your jewel ready faster, we will be happy to see how we can schedule this with you.
-
How much does a custom-made piece of jewellery cost?
The first, exploratory appointment takes about an hour and is free of charge. Then Celine starts with the first design phase, looking for suitable gemstones and making a quote, for which we charge a working budget of €500. If we proceed with the production of your custom-made jewel, this is not an extra cost but will be deducted from the deposit. If you do not wish to continue working with us, you unfortunately cannot reclaim this amount in any form. In the second phase or the start of production, we charge you 50% of the total estimated cost before starting. You pay on the day of delivery, the other 50%.
-
When is an advance requested?
A deposit is requested from the moment we reserve a jewel for you, make a custom jewel or adjust a jewel from stock. For a reservation of a jewel from stock, this is 20% of the purchase price, for a custom-made jewel this is 50% of the estimated purchase price, for a jewel from stock that needs to be adjusted, this is 30% of the purchase price.

-
Can I have a piece of jewelry made from my own gemstone?
That is possible. However, we do not rework small gemstones but rather larger ones from 0.25Ct, of high quality with a certificate of authenticity. We first look at the possibilities of the gemstone. Each gemstone has a certain hardness, which ensures that certain designs are more or less suitable. Make an appointment and we will discuss the possibilities together. Please note that the delivery time may take longer than usual as our new jewellery collections or customisation will always be prioritised.
-
Do you also work with silver jewelry?
No, we exclusively work with jewelry made of 18K gold and platinum. Silver is a very soft material that shows signs of wear quickly; 18K white gold or platinum are more durable and beautiful precious metals.

Yes, with each jewel we provide a proof of purchase/certificate drawn up by us that you can also present to the insurance company if you wish to insure your jewellery or in the event of an inheritance.
