Hey guys, could anyone point me in the right direction to someone who makes custom jewelry? I'm interested in a custom silver pendant . Thanks!
 
Look to your local arts and design college, a lot of talented folks that will work for a little more than cost of materials if they can submit a piece for a grade as well. I know a few people who have gotten really cool original stuff that way.
 
Check out ETSY online...tons of custom handmade stuff....and many makers will do custom orders.

Go to one of your local jewelry stores who have an instore jeweler. In most cases they can make what you want, either from construction or carving it in wax and casting it. I did quite a bit of that before I retired. As long as I was motivated enough. Its time consuming work so don't expect it to be cheap, in the time it takes to carve and cast and finish out a custom piece the jeweler could make a bunch of money doing normal repairs. Not trying to discourage you just don't want you to have unrealistic expectations. The time and effort put into something like that is often more expensive than the materials used.
