Custom jewellery making

Custom jewellery making in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

Custom jewellery in Hong Kong has no standard price: a bespoke piece is quoted per job once the design, metal and stones are known. For reference, according to sellers' websites in November 2026, a finished 22K gold bead necklace is listed at about HK$19,207, and a silver casting workshop with materials costs HK$1,280–1,500. The quickest way to a quote for your own design is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the price depends on

• The item and its size or weight, since the metal in grams sets much of the cost
• Metal and purity, for example 22K gold or silver, and whether you bring your own metal
• Stones and settings, and how many stones there are
• Sketch or design work, and any engraving

Sellers quote per job, so ask for one total with the metal, stones, design and labour shown separately.

Finished pieces and workshops as reference

A finished gold piece shows what a shop charges for the material and finish, while a workshop shows what you pay to make something yourself. A four-and-a-half-hour silver casting workshop costs HK$1,280–1,500 with materials included, so it is a low-cost way to learn before you commission a piece.

Registration and precious metal rules

Dealers in precious metals and stones must register with Hong Kong Customs once their transactions reach a total value of HK$120,000. A compliance guide names customised jewellery makers among the businesses covered by Hong Kong's precious metals regime, which Customs enforces. Ask a maker whether they are registered before you commission a piece of that value.

Timing and deadlines

A custom piece needs time for the sketch, your approval and the making stage, so allow several weeks. November is a good month to start a piece that must be ready before the cooler months from December to February, and it leaves room for one revision of the design.

What to write in your request

Describe the item, the metal and purity you want, and whether you have a sketch. List the stones and settings, the size or weight, and any engraving text. Say whether you bring your own metal, and add your deadline, your city (Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun) and your budget.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the piece in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo of a sketch or an example. Our AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact.
