Custom Jewelry, Designed Around You

At Skylight Jewelers, custom means more than choosing a setting—it means creating something entirely original.

We specialize in:

• Custom engagement rings
• Wedding bands (including men’s custom bands)
• Handmade gemstone jewelry
• Moonstone and alternative engagement rings

Each piece is individually designed, crafted, and finished by hand in our Boston workshop.

How the Custom Process Works

1. Consultation
We start with a conversation about your ideas, style, and budget. You can bring sketches, inspiration, or just an idea.
2. Design
We develop a custom concept tailored to you, selecting gemstones and refining details.
3. Hand Carving
Your design is carved by hand in wax—a traditional technique that allows for organic, sculptural detail.
4. Casting & Finishing
The piece is cast in metal, set with stones, and finished to the highest standard.
Typical timeline: 3–6 weeks depending on complexity.
