Custom Pieces & Projects
We welcome Commissions and Custom pieces at Ghurrah, and will work with you one on one to create your own one-of-a-kind piece.
We have created numerous custom pieces, from custom calligraphy charms to custom pendants including sun motifs, and miniature fruit.
Custom pieces can be modifications to existing Ghurrah pieces, in different carats or in design, or can be completely one-of-a-kind.
Timeline:
Custom orders will take from 4-6 weeks to complete, but each project will be given a timeline at the beginning. However, we reserve the right to take up to six weeks to complete all projects.
In case of major public holidays in Bahrain, please be advised that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is not open for hallmarking, so pieces might be delayed.
Minimum budget and payment plans for Customs:
This is flexible depending on the project, but usually it will not be under BD300 for 18k gold, unless it is a simple modification to an existing Ghurrah piece.
A non-refundable 50% deposit will be made in the case of CAD-designed options. Once design is approved, the remaining 50% needs to be made. For fully handmade pieces, payment is in full upfront.
Gold Weight estimates:
Please note all gold weight given before a project starts is an estimate only. Since custom pieces are by nature one-offs, it is rare that accurate weight can be given.
What does a Custom project include:
As mentioned, these can be changes or modifications to Ghurrah pieces or completely new pieces. Please note that for OOAK pieces, you agree that similar pieces can be reproduced if the concept was a Ghurrah concept.
Can you repurpose or reuse existing jewellery?
Unless a customer is based in Bahrain, the answer is no. Shipping would be too complicated to organise.
For Bahrain-based customers, we can repurpose some stones, and we can use the gold at melt price to balance some of the gold costs. However, the gold itself will not be reused.
Process:
Email ghurrah.jewellery@gmail.com with an idea of what you’d like. Please note that all custom projects will have to be communicated via email so that it is easy to reference. Email can include inspiration images, styles, budget, stones, or gold karat.
Photos of previous custom pieces can also be shared.
