Since opening our doors in Bethesda in 1990, we have earned our reputation as one of the finest and most unique jewelers in the Washington area among local and global clientele.
After decades of providing master craftsmanship, true artistry, and unique bespoke jewelry services in Maryland, we opened our Dupont Circle store. We are a family-run business, committed to our community, values, and making each piece in our original Bethesda workshop. The beauty of our jewelry is apparent, and the quality of our work is undeniable.
Many jewelers offer minor customization options that are merely a choice among prefabricated components, but Secrète Fine Jewelry’s handmade bespoke process allows complete freedom for real original design by sculpting and casting one of a kind jewelry from scratch.
One of a kind jewelry starts with a wax mold; these small sculptures are always created by hand in our workshop, an individual work of art created just for you. Through the process of metal work, stone setting, and polishing, your vision becomes reality, a creation as unique as you are.
The knowledgeable design team at Secrète Fine Jewelry is equipped with the education and experience to answer questions and offer insight about gemology, style, and fit.
Our custom jewelry process at Secrète Fine Jewelry provides you with the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece with the finest diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals of your choosing. Our designers work with you to create an original, one-on-one design and craft the perfect ring, necklace, earrings, or bracelet that you have imagined.
Our ethical stone-sourcing services enable us to procure rare gemstones and diamonds, meticulously selected by our gemologists from across the globe, solely for the creation of your jewelry piece. Through precise metalwork, stone setting, and polishing, your vision is transformed into a piece you will treasure, always keeping our quality-first philosophy in mind.
The cost of custom jewelry depends on the quality of the precious metals and gemstones or diamonds selected, the design complexity, and the time the craftsman and jewelry designer dedicate to creating the piece. The pricing spectrum for custom jewelry mirrors its variety, catering to a broad array of preferences and budgets, yet always ensuring a touch of personal distinction that elevates each piece from merely luxurious to truly exceptional.

To ensure the safety and maintenance of your luxury jewelry pieces, storing them correctly is paramount. Select a jewelry box designed with individual compartments and a soft lining to prevent scratches and damage. Each piece should be stored separately, ideally in soft pouches, to avoid tangling and scratches. \
Keep jewelry in an environment with stable, moderate temperature and away from high humidity. Silver pieces benefit from being wrapped in anti-tarnish cloth to prevent tarnishing. Periodic inspections and professional cleanings are advisable to keep your jewelry in its best condition.
By following these guidelines, your luxury jewelry will retain its luster and value for years to come.

When seeking luxury custom jewelry, several indicators of excellence should guide your selection to ensure you’re investing in the highest quality pieces. Craftsmanship is paramount; look for jewelry created with meticulous attention to detail, precision in construction, and flawless finishes.
The quality of materials used should be only the finest metals and gemstones, with certificates of authenticity for diamonds and precious gems.

The jeweler’s reputation should show a track record of satisfied customers and provide assurance of their commitment to quality and service. After-sales support, including maintenance and repair services, and clear warranty policies, will help preserve the beauty and value of your jewelry over time.
Together, these indicators ensure the luxury custom jewelry you select is of unparalleled quality and craftsmanship, destined to be cherished for generations.
The timeframe for having a custom piece of jewelry made partly depends on the complexity of the design you are seeking. Our master jeweler individually creates each custom piece to meet the highest standards of quality and workmanship.
The design phase of our custom jewelry process can extend over several weeks to months, depending on how quickly decisions are made and the design is finalized.
Once you’ve approved the design, our jewelers prefer four to six weeks to complete the piece, however, they sometimes can accommodate a tighter timeline if needed.
