From desire to the manufacture of custom jewelry
Maison Bäumer is committed to creating and transforming your jewelry of all kinds, according to your desires and your imagination, while respecting your expectations as faithfully as possible. And for good reason, there are many reasons to embark on the adventure of making custom jewelry : a specific event, a unique person, a feeling, an emotion to express, affection for a particular stone or a precise idea, custom-made is the most original way to give rise to a meaningful creation.
Like any form of art, custom jewelry is a powerful vector of meaning and emotions, a jewel that best reflects your desires, your personality. Experiencing custom-made means writing or rewriting a story, drawing inspiration from the past and drawing on the jeweler's imagination to create a unique and daring piece of jewelry. As one of the greatest jewelers of his time, Lorenz Bäumer enjoys shaking up the traditional codes of jewelry, which is particularly evident in his collections, which feature creations with a unique and particular style and design.
All jewelry, without exception, is invited to the custom-made party: earrings, rings, engagement rings, wedding rings, necklaces , bracelets, cufflinks, brooches or watches, appreciate the custom-made to tell a special story in an exceptional jewel. Concerning solitaires and engagement rings, many people choose to place this very special day under the sign of a custom-made creation by adding an engraving, or by drawing shapes or volumes that evoke a story for you.
A custom-made jewel is a unique and singular piece, made exclusively for you and according to your requirements. In this sense, this creation is unlike any other existing model. The creation of a custom-made jewel has several stages : it starts with a desire, it follows a meeting and it ends with the realization of your creation.

The choice of alloy and precious stones
The choice of stones and alloy is a special moment. Indeed, the precious brilliance of a gem prefigures an exceptional jewel and can make you feel a particular emotion or feeling. Precious stones, fine stones and pearls are at your disposal: diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, spinels, tourmalines, aquamarines, sapphires and other stones can be set on your jewel.
Diamond is the most selected stone for custom jewelry creations, especially for the manufacture of engagement rings or wedding rings. Necklace, ring, pendant, bracelet, wedding ring or engagement ring, you can have your jewelry set with the stones you want.
You will be able to choose the number of carats you want for your stone. The higher the number of carats, the higher the price of your stone will be.
The choice of metal will also come. Between white gold, pink gold or black rhodium-plated white gold, Maison Bäumer offers you a range of possibilities to imagine the most perfect creation possible. White gold is often selected for an engagement ring, especially with a setting of white diamonds that bring out the brilliance of this setting. Also, blue sapphire goes very well with white gold.

Custom-made gouache
Gouache, a realistic reflection of the jewel, is an essential step in custom creation. It highlights the combination of design, stones and colors, for a subtle and artistic rendering: a souvenir in its own right of the creative adventure of a custom jewel.
3D modeling of your custom jewelry
3D modeling of a jewel occurs in the fourth step of the creation process. This achievement, using software, allows workshops a perfect understanding of the technical challenges of design and allows customers to realize their request before its manufacture.
Indeed, on this model, the artisans working in our workshops will immediately understand the technicality of the jewel, and will see the necessary stones such as a diamond or other precious stone.
Bracelets, necklaces, rings and other creations are necessarily modeled in order to give life to the most accurate creation possible.
Maison Bäumer works alongside workshops with particular excellence and each with their own expertise: jewelers, diamond cutters, lapidaries, setters and polishers who allow the creations to have a perfect result and thus, make the dream coincide with reality. This tailor-made expertise is important for both the creator and the client in order to give rise to an exceptional creation, developed from traditional know-how of excellence, values that reflect those of Maison Bäumer.
