Give your customers exactly what they're looking for with the Stuller Band Builder.
Did you know that custom jewelry creation goes beyond a one-of-a-kind piece? From beginning to end, the act of providing a customer with a unique piece is a customized experience in itself. Today’s customers want memorable experiences that feel personalized to them, and we as jewelers can make it truly unforgettable.
Wedding bands present the perfect opportunity to provide that experience. These rings are more than your everyday fashion jewelry. They are symbolic of a lifetime filled with commitment, love, and partnership. Why shouldn’t the experience of making a custom wedding band be just as significant?
Doing so is easy and seamless when you use the Stuller Band Builder. Choosing a design, metal, size, and other personalization factors is as easy as the click of a button with renderings appearing in real time. Building the ring side-by-side with your customers makes the entire experience that much more special. Let’s walk through how to use the Band Builder and how you can revolutionize your wedding band business with this engaging experience.
How to Use the Band Builder
1. Begin With the Basics
Take a look at the ring metal, profile, finger size — including whole, half, and quarter sizes — and fit options that dictate the interior shape of the ring and impact how the ring feels on the finger. The Band Builder comes with a range of 26 precious metal options and three contemporary metal materials including Titanium, Cobalt, and Zirconium.
2. Refine the Details
Next, browse the design details and millimeter width options that your customer can always pivot between for different looks or styles. Intricate or simple, big or small — your customer can have it all. Keep in mind that while not every option is available for every metal type or profile, the options are numerous, can cater to any style preference, and constantly evolve.
3. Add a Finishing Touch
Complete the custom wedding band with something that makes the piece stand out, such as a finishing or engraving. Finishings, such as a hammer or satin finish, change the outer texture of the ring and add an element of intrigue. Engravings give the ring something personal that makes it truly one of a kind. Currently, only precious metal wedding bands can include finishes and engravings in the Band Builder.
Designer Tip: Use the snapshot tool to save sample designs so your customers can compare different creations they might want.
