Are there customization services for Sardinian jewelry?

Yes. Many ateliers and specialist brands offer customization for Sardinian jewelry: you can choose the finish (bright silver, oxidized silver, gold-plated silver with double bath), stones (first-choice red coral, garnet, turquoise), and even request model transformations (e.g., turning an earring motif into a pendant, or a pendant into a ring). At Gioia Sarda we create made-to-measure variants starting from our collection—just send us a WhatsApp with a photo/idea and we’ll reply with feasibility, timing, and a clear quote.

What “customization” means in Sardinian filigree

It’s much more than engraving a name. In Sardinian filigree you can adjust:

• Finish: bright silver, oxidized (brunito) for higher contrast, or gold-plated (double bath) for warmth and elegance.

• Stones: red coral, garnet, turquoise, chosen to match the motif.

• Sizes & proportions: diameter of the bottone sardo, height/width of a fedina band (1–6 filigree wires), weight/comfort for earrings.

• Closures & wearability: earrings with monachella (hook) or farfallina (post & butterfly), bracelet clasps, chain lengths.

• Model transformations:

  • Earring ↔ Pendant,

  • Pendant → Ring,

  • Coordinated parures (ring + earrings + pendant) built around one motif.

A good customization respects proportions and the aesthetic code of Sardinian filigree, so the result stays harmonious and authentic.

When a customization makes sense

• Right motif, wrong format: you love an earring design but want it as a pendant, or you’d wear a pendant as a ring.

• Perfect coordination: build a parure with matching filigree texture and stone.

• Different finish: you prefer a gold-plated version to pair with other jewelry.

• Special gift: fine-tune size, proportions, or add a stone.

• Comfort & practicality: switch closure type, reduce weight, choose an exact ring size.

How it works (step by step)

1. Inspiration Pick a model from our collection (e.g., bottone sardo, su coccu, treccia, fedine with 1–6 wires).

2. Request Send us a WhatsApp with a photo or link + what you’d like to change (finish, stone, format, closure, size).

3. Feasibility & quote We reply with viable options, lead time, and price. If useful, we provide a sketch or similar references.

4. Approval & crafting We start in the workshop (timeline ranges from a few days to several weeks, depending on complexity).

5. Shipping & aftercare Quality check, gift-ready packaging, tracked shipping. We’re available for micro-adjustments (shine, chain length, fit).

Customization ideas (real examples)

• Earring → Pendant: turn motifs like “Mezzogiorno” or “Luna” into a matching pendant.

• Pendant → Ring: adapt a motif such as Girella/Corbula to a comfortable band.

• Stone-led parure: if you love red coral, repeat it across ring, earrings, and pendant.

• Dual finish: ring in oxidized silver + earrings gold-plated for a refined mix & match.

• Tailored closures: monachella for extra stability, farfallina for a sleeker profile.

Costs & timelines: what to expect

• Pricing depends on materials (e.g., double gold bath, natural stones), bench time, and any prototype.

• Lead time: typically 7–20 business days for simple tweaks; more for complex requests or peak seasons.

• Warranty & support: bespoke doesn’t mean fragile—each piece is checked, and we provide post-purchase assistance.

Tip: if you have a fixed date (anniversary, ceremony), message us early so we can keep quality high without rushing.

Customization & tradition: keeping the soul intact

Sardinian filigree follows a recognizable visual grammar: wire rhythm, rosettes, bottone proportions, balance with stones. Solid bespoke work:

• preserves the traditional language,

• avoids overloading the motif,

• stays functional for everyday wear or special occasions.
