Doenara Jewelry Care
Custom work
Have something made. Not picked off a shelf.
We've been making jewelry in Los Angeles since 1996. Send us a photo, a drawing, or just an idea you can't stop thinking about, and we'll build it with you.
Most people have never had jewelry made. Here's how it goes.
You send us the idea
A screenshot, a Pinterest link, a photo of a ring you saw on someone, a napkin sketch. It doesn't have to be good. We'll ask questions.
We talk, then quote it
Usually a quick call or a visit to the shop. We figure out metal, stones, size, and what it'll cost. No deposit until you're happy with the number.
You see it before it exists
We draw it up in CAD and send you renders. People change their minds here all the time. That's the point of this step.
We make it
Cast, set, polished, and checked by hand here in LA. Pick it up or we ship it insured. Plan on about a month from approved render to finished piece.
Some of what's left the shop lately.
All designed and made here. If you see something close to what you want, mention it in the form and we'll start from there.
We're the shop behind a lot of other shops.
Plenty of retailers sell custom but don't have a bench, so the work gets sent out of state and the client waits six weeks. We do that work here in LA. Your client, your name on the shipping label. We handle the CAD, casting, setting, and finishing.
- Renders you can show your customer the same week
- 14k, 18k, platinum. Lab-grown or natural, your call
- Trade pricing, better on repeat work
- Pick up in LA or we ship insured anywhere in the US
- You talk to one person the whole way through
Send us the job you were about to turn down.
Text or WhatsApp a photo and the stone details and we'll tell you the same day whether we can do it and roughly what it'll run. No account setup, no minimums to start.
WhatsApp the Shop
Get started
Tell us what you're thinking.
Fill this out and someone from the shop (a real person, usually Harout) will get back to you within a day with questions and a rough price range. You're not committing to anything.
Things people ask us
Okay, but what does it actually cost?
A simple custom design in 14k gold usually starts around $1,500 to $1,700. Bigger stones, heavier gold, or a complicated setting push it up from there. You'll know the real number before we touch anything.
How long will I wait?
Figure about a month after you sign off on the render. If you have a date you're working toward, tell us up front. We can sometimes move faster, and we'd rather know now than at the end.
Can you reuse my old gold or reset my stone?
No, we only make new pieces with our own metal and stones. Every piece leaves here made from scratch, so we know exactly what went into it.
I have a jewelry store. Do you do work for other shops?
Yes. A good part of what leaves here goes to other jewelers under their own name. Pick "Jeweler / Retailer" in the form or just WhatsApp us a photo of the job.
Lab-grown or natural?
Whichever you want. We mostly work in certified lab-grown because the value is hard to argue with, but we source natural stones too.
Still thinking about it?
Send the idea anyway. Worst case, you get a price and a drawing.
