Fine Jewelry Guide
A guide to choosing a bespoke fine jewelry piece.
A personal jewel begins with a few practical decisions: the stone, the setting, the metal, the size and the way the piece will be worn. This guide explains the first questions to consider before starting a custom jewelry project with Twenty and Six.
Natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds?
Both can create beautiful fine jewelry. The right choice depends on your preferences, budget, desired specifications and the meaning you attach to the stone. Before an order, the nature of the diamond is stated clearly and the available documentation is discussed with you.
Choosing a setting
A setting changes the character of a jewel. A bezel can feel graphic and protective. A refined prong setting allows more light around the stone. A signet-inspired setting creates a stronger sculptural presence. The Archive is useful for identifying the proportions and details that speak to you.
How do remote ring-size consultations work?
Ring sizing systems differ between countries, and measurements can vary slightly between jewelers. Before production, we discuss the intended finger, the preferred fit and the most reliable way to obtain the measurement remotely.
Can Twenty and Six deliver internationally?
Yes. Twenty and Six welcomes enquiries worldwide and arranges insured shipping according to destination. Duties, import taxes and local charges outside the European Union remain the purchaser’s responsibility.
Frequently asked questions
Can an archived creation be recreated?
The Archive is a source of inspiration rather than a catalogue of exact copies. Contact us to discuss a related design adapted to your preferred stone, proportions and budget.
Can I ask about pieces that are not shown online?
Yes. Available pieces change regularly, and some may not yet be displayed on the website. Ask us directly for current availability.
