You have scoured the internet and local jewelry stores looking for that perfect piece of jewelry but just can’t quite seem to find it. Working with a jeweler to create a “custom” piece of jewelry might seem like too daunting of a task. The extra time involved and costs incurred to create a custom piece may also be prohibitive if you are short on time or on a limited budget. What if you could get involved in the design process of your jewelry by selecting the color of the inlay stones used, as well as the arrangement of the stones, to create a semi-custom piece of jewelry just for you at no additional charge? Hileman Silver Jewelry will work with you to do just that. We will guide you through the design process and advise you on which stones are appropriate for your chosen casting style and if any of the stones selected are an upgrade.
All of our sterling silver jewelry is easily customized to our customer’s inlay color choices or arrangement. Every style ring, pendant, bracelet or earring casting is a blank canvas with almost unlimited choices of colored stones to inlay in the combination of your choice. If the jewelry piece has a faceted gemstone to accent the inlay and you want to change the color scheme, a different color stone of equal value may be substituted for the original. Additional charges are only charged if the accent stone or the inlay material is an upgrade to a more expensive stone.
You might notice our style numbers on some of our jewelry descriptions. The style numbers only designate the casting/mounting used and not the inlay material used or its arrangement. Here are some examples of our gent’s ring style “M200” and the different inlay color combinations we have done recently. As you can see the look and feel of the ring changes dramatically with the inlay color and pattern variations.
Here is the M200 ring casting inlaid with black onyx and Australian opal. This is one of our most popular color combinations for our men’s rings.

Another option available is inlaying the entire ring with all the same material such as all dinosaur bone, lapis or spider web turquoise like these three rings.

A combination of inlay materials is also an option. Here are a couple of multi-color examples.

As you can see there are many different colors of stones to choose from and many multicolored combinations. Let us know your color preferences and we can suggest stones that work well together. Most semi-custom orders can be completed in 2 to 4 weeks. In most cases it is easier to discuss and complete these orders by phone to clear up any possible questions or concerns before beginning work on the order or taking payment.
