At LOFT.bijoux, we specialize in creating custom engagement rings, wedding bands, and meaningful fine jewelry — designed one-on-one, with deep attention to the story behind every piece.
Whether you’re based in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, or visiting from anywhere in Canada, Europe, or North America, our bespoke process brings together artistry, gemological expertise, and your unique story — transformed into a jewel that lasts a lifetime.
Here’s our 3-step custom jewelry process.
1.
Selecting the Gemstone
Natural gemstones, selected with expertise and emotion.
Every custom piece at LOFT.bijoux starts with the gemstone — the emotional center of the design. Whether it’s a sapphire, emerald, alexandrite, or a natural diamond, this is where your story begins.
At LOFT.bijoux, we work exclusively with natural gemstones. We do not use synthetic stones. Every gem we offer was formed deep in the Earth and carries its own history, rarity, and light.
To bring a deeper level of knowledge to our clients, our founder Olga Leclair became a certified gemologist with diplomas from IGI (Antwerp) and GIA (New York). This allows us to offer not just a visual selection, but a gemstone search rooted in deep expertise, ethical sourcing, and an obsession with beauty precision. Our goal is not just to “find a stone,” but to help you understand it — its origin, its beauty, its rarity and unique qualities.
You’ll meet with Olga either via Zoom, at our Montreal boutique, or in person during her visits to clients in Ottawa, Vancouver, New York, Europe, and beyond. We’ll talk about the type of piece you’re envisioning, the person who will wear it, and the aesthetic or emotional direction we want to explore.
From there, we search across our trusted network of suppliers built through the years — with access to thousands of rare and beautiful natural gemstones. Sometimes we find your perfect gem quickly in 1-2 weeks. Other times, especially for something rare or large or of a particular color, it can take longer.
Once we’ve narrowed it down, we send you photos and videos, or we view the stones together during the meeting. Once the gem is selected, we move into the creative design stage.
2.
Creating the Design
From inspiration to 3D design — your jewel comes to life.
The design phase is collaborative and personal.
We usually begin with two different 3D design concepts, unless we already have a clear direction. From there, we make changes together. Sometimes it’s fast. Other times, the design evolves through multiple drafts — especially if you’re inspired by something unique or symbolic.
It’s not uncommon for a jewel to go through many iterations before we reach the final version — and that’s part of the beauty of the process. Your piece is a true co-creation.
You’ll receive realistic 3D renderings of the jewel from all angles. And if it’s a ring, we can 3D-print a plastic model so you can try it on. This can be easily shipped to you anywhere — no special insured shipping required.
Once you confirm the design, we begin production.
3.
Production: Crafting Your Jewel
Once the final design is approved, your jewel enters the golden hands – our production. Everything is hand crafted in Montreal using traditional European techniques married to modern technologies.
Pricing & Budget
Most custom pieces start around $1,500–$2,000 CAD, with the upper numbers in six digits. Your budget will mainly depend on the gemstones you choose.
No matter the price, your piece will be crafted with care, using high-quality natural materials, ethical sourcing, and precise workmanship.
