Cuffs
A cuff has presence. It can carry a stone, a border, a pattern, or a clean stretch of silver that lets a single detail stand out. Custom cuffs typically begin at $175.

Custom Silver Jewelry, Made by Hand
Start with a motif, an initial, a stone, or a story. Each sterling silver piece is worked out individually, with its own shape, scale, and reason for being worn.
Made for one person
Wear the part of the story that matters.
Custom silver jewelry should not feel like a stock shape with one detail added at the end. It begins with the part that means something: a stone, an old pattern, an initial, a landscape, a favorite object, or simply the way the finished piece should feel when it becomes part of your day.
Broadus Craft Jewelry makes each piece by hand in sterling silver. A cuff can be broad and sculptural or spare and close to the wrist. A pendant can hold a stone, a symbol, or a quiet bit of texture. A key fob can make an everyday object feel considered. The point is not to force an idea into a template. It is to give the right idea a form that suits it.
Start a Custom RequestChoose the form
Start with the piece you will actually wear.
The form gives a custom idea useful boundaries. It helps determine scale, comfort, how a motif can sit on the metal, and which details deserve the most attention. A clear starting point makes room for a more personal finish.
Pendants
A pendant keeps a motif close. It can be built around a stone, an adapted pattern, a small symbol, or a shape that feels right in the hand. Custom pendants typically begin at $35.
Chain bracelets
A chain bracelet is a good choice for a piece meant to be worn often. The length, clasp, links, and central detail can stay simple or become the whole point of the design. Custom chain bracelets typically begin at $75.
Key fobs
A heavy brushed-silver fob brings a personal detail into an object that gets picked up every day. Initials, border patterns, and small motifs all have room to work here. Custom key fobs typically begin at $35.
Belt buckles
A buckle allows for a larger motif and a more public kind of personal statement. Sterling silver, contrast metals, and stones can all shape the direction. Custom buckles typically begin at $125.
From reference to finished piece
Bring a starting point, not a perfect drawing.
A custom request can begin with a saved image, a photograph from a trip, a family initial, a rough sketch, a stone, or a pattern from the design catalog. It can also begin with a plain description of the feeling you want: bold, quiet, weathered, polished, traditional, or contemporary. You do not need to solve the design before the conversation starts.
The useful work is deciding what should be the focal point. A good piece often has one element that carries the most weight, while the rest supports it. A border may frame an initial. A stone may set the color direction. A small change in width can make a cuff feel more substantial. Those decisions are where a custom piece becomes more than a list of preferences.
Once the direction is clear, the practical details come into view: the kind of piece, approximate size, sterling silver or a contrast metal, whether a stone belongs in the design, and how much texture or relief the form can hold. The result should feel considered from a distance and worth another look when it is in your hand.

Silver, stones, and contrast
Let the material earn its place.
Sterling silver is the core of Broadus Craft Jewelry. It has enough presence to stand on its own, and it gives texture, pattern work, polished areas, and darker recesses room to register. It can carry a design that is simple and direct, or become the setting for a more detailed motif.
Bronze, brass, and copper can be considered as accent metals when contrast improves the idea rather than distracting from it. A stone can also be the natural center of a piece, especially when its color, surface, or shape gives the design a direction. The material is not decoration added after the fact. It is part of the decision about what the finished object should say.
For an accurate quote, it helps to mention the metals or stone you have in mind, even if you are not certain. That gives the conversation something tangible to react to and keeps the design connected to the piece you want to live with.

Price follows the piece, not a generic package.
Every custom request is quoted around its actual size, material, and level of detail. These ranges give you a useful place to begin before the design is settled.

A wider cuff, a larger wrist size, a stone, extra metal, or more intricate pattern work can change the final quote. The most useful next step is to share the piece you have in mind and the details you do not want to lose.
A piece with a reason
Personal does not need to mean overworked.
A custom piece can mark a milestone, carry a family reference, turn a favorite stone into something wearable, or simply make a daily object feel less ordinary. The strongest direction is often the one that leaves enough breathing room for the silver itself. A motif can be clear without filling every surface. An initial can be private without becoming invisible.
That restraint matters because handmade jewelry has to earn its place in a real life. It should be comfortable to wear, easy to reach for, and distinct enough that it still feels like yours years later. A cuff made for regular wear may call for a clean silhouette. A pendant made for a milestone may make room for a stone or a more detailed pattern. The finished piece should match the person and the moment, not someone else's idea of what custom jewelry ought to look like.
A useful first note
Share the details that will shape the decision.
The piece
Say whether you are imagining a cuff, pendant, bracelet, key fob, or buckle. If you are between two forms, name both. The way a piece is worn often makes the next decision clearer.
The reference
A photograph, an initial, a pattern, a stone, a place, or a few words about the mood you want gives the design a genuine starting point. It does not need to be a finished drawing.
The practical details
For a cuff or bracelet, wrist size is helpful. For a pendant, mention whether you prefer a small everyday piece or something with more visual weight. For a buckle, a general size and how often you expect to wear it are useful.
The budget range
A comfortable range makes it easier to focus the work on the details that matter most. It is not a commitment to a final price. It is a useful way to match the scale, materials, and amount of handwork to the piece you have in mind.
Questions, answered
Before you begin.
What kinds of custom silver jewelry can I commission?
Broadus Craft Jewelry creates custom cuffs, chain bracelets, pendants, key fobs, and belt buckles. The best starting point is the kind of piece you want to wear, then the motif, size, metal, or stone that gives it personal meaning.
Do I need a finished design before I get in touch?
No. A sketch, photograph, remembered pattern, initial, stone, or loose idea can be enough to begin. The first conversation is for deciding what should lead the design and what can stay in the background.
What metals can be used in a custom piece?
Sterling silver is the primary material. Bronze, brass, and copper can be considered as contrast details when they suit the direction of the piece.
How much does custom silver jewelry cost?
Published starting ranges are $35 to $150 for pendants, $35 to $60 for key fobs, $75 to $125 for chain bracelets, $125 to $250 for belt buckles, and $175 to $450 for cuffs. The final quote depends on size, materials, stones, and the amount of detail in the finished work.
