From engagement rings to heirloom redesign and one-of-a-kind fine jewellery, each custom piece is designed through a considered, collaborative process. I work closely with you to translate your vision, energy, and intention into a singular design, crafted one at a time and without compromise.
Custom Jewellery Design Process
With nearly 20 years of experience as a classically trained goldsmith, Sabrina of Janine Jewels guides clients through a highly personal custom jewellery design process rooted in craftsmanship, collaboration, and intention. Each piece is designed and fabricated in Toronto, combining traditional techniques with contemporary design.
From engagement rings and heirloom redesigns to one-of-a-kind fine jewellery, the custom process begins with a conversation. Together, we explore materials, gemstones, and design details to create a piece that reflects your story, values, and lifestyle.
This is not a transactional experience. It is an experience, a hands-on design journey resulting in a custom piece meant to be worn, lived in, and passed down.
The Process Steps
Custom orders take 8-12 weeks
1- Consultation
2- Design Direction
3- Stone Selection
4- CAD Design
5- Prototyping & Casting
6- Fabrication
7- Final Reveal
Each custom jewellery design is created through a collaborative process that balances craftsmanship, intention, and wearability. Designed and handcrafted in Toronto. Ask, and I can source ethical gemstones and recycled 14k or 18k gold. Every piece is made to honour your story and stand the test of time.
Practice
Janine Jewels is a woman-owned, Toronto-based jewellery studio led by Sabrina, a classically trained goldsmith with nearly 20 years of experience. Every custom piece is created through her direct collaboration, bench craftsmanship, and a deeply personal design process.
Materials
Where possible, we work with recycled gold and thoughtfully selected gemstones, including lab-grown and natural diamonds. Materials are chosen for longevity, beauty, and ethical consideration, without making claims beyond what can be responsibly sourced.
Craft
Trained in Geneva, Switzerland, and grounded in traditional goldsmithing techniques, every piece is designed for wearability, structural integrity, and lasting beauty. From CAD refinement to hand-finishing, quality is never outsourced or compromised. Just see what our clients have to say

From Concept to Heirloom
Designing a custom ring involves many thoughtful decisions, from selecting the right gemstone to choosing the metal, proportions, and setting style. Whether you’re drawn to natural or lab-grown diamonds, sapphires, or opals, each element plays a role in how the final piece looks, feels, and wears over time.
You may arrive with inspiration, an existing heirloom to redesign, or simply a sense of what you want the piece to represent. Or you may be starting from scratch. Through a collaborative design process, we explore stone options, cuts, colours, and materials together, translating your ideas into a custom ring that is structurally sound, wearable, and uniquely yours.
With nearly 20 years of experience and training in traditional goldsmithing, every custom piece is guided by craftsmanship as much as creativity — resulting in fine jewellery designed to last for generations.
Feel good about your jewels
There are informed choices.
Clarity, Not Claims
I work with lab-grown stones and select natural diamonds, chosen for quality, traceability where possible, and alignment with your values. Lab-grown diamonds avoid the legacy of conflict stones, but they still require energy, labour, and industrial processes. Natural diamonds carry geological rarity, history, and their own complex supply chains.
Rather than selling absolutes, I offer transparency, education, and options so you can decide what matters most to you.
