Made-to-Order Jewelry
What Is Made-to-Order Jewelry?
Made-to-order jewelry lets you start from an existing Rick Terry design and customize the metal, stones, and details to match your style, with a faster turnaround and lower cost than fully custom work.
How it works:
- Choose a design from our in-house collection
- Select metals (14k yellow gold, 18k white gold, platinum, rose gold)
- Hand-pick your center stone or accent gemstones
- Receive your finished piece in 2 to 4 weeks
Why choose made-to-order?
You get a personal piece at a lower price point than custom design, with the same in-house craftsmanship and no mass-production mark-up.
Custom Bridal
Where Does Forever Begin? With a Ring That Is Uniquely Hers.
Custom engagement rings and wedding bands designed and built in-house at our Knoxville studio. We guide you through every step: stone selection, setting style, CAD (Computer-Aided Design) preview, and final hand-finishing by our master jewelers.
What you get with a Rick Terry custom bridal ring:
- 1-on-1 design consultation in Knoxville (virtual options available)
- GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified diamonds and natural gemstones
- 3D CAD preview before any metal is cut
- Hand-set and hand-finished by a master jeweler
- Lifetime inspection and cleaning at our Knoxville store
Custom Process
How Does the Rick Terry Custom Jewelry Process Work?
Modern design tools meet traditional goldsmithing. Every custom piece follows the same proven four-step process:
Consultation. Share your inspiration, budget, and timeline with our design team.
Design and CAD rendering. We create a 3D preview so you can approve the piece before production begins.
In-house crafting. A master jeweler on our Knoxville team casts, sets, and hand-finishes your piece.
Final fitting and lifetime care. We size, polish, and deliver your piece, then care for it for life.
How Long Does a Custom Piece take?
Most custom engagement rings and fine jewelry pieces are completed in 4 to 8 weeks from approval of the CAD design.
Team
Who Are the Jewelers Behind Rick Terry Jewelry Designs?
Our team brings together generations of bench experience, GIA training, and Tennessee roots. Every designer and bench jeweler works in our Knoxville studio, so your piece is never shipped out or outsourced overseas.
Family owned since 1986
Rick Terry founded the studio in 1986 and still designs alongside his team today. Family ownership means direct accountability, not a corporate call center.
