How To Shop Silent Opus - Jewelry Customization 101
February 3, 2023
Welcome to Silent Opus. If you're new here, we'd like to tell you a little bit about ourselves and what we stand for.
Silent Opus is a modern jewelry brand with soul. Before launching we questioned whether the world really needed another jewelry brand. We all have so many “things” in our lives and we didn’t want to contribute to the clutter but what we love most about fine jewelry is that it can act as a vessel to remind us of the meaningful stories, memories and people in our lives. It's these reminders that help us create deeper, more human connections which is something we do believe we need more of.
Each piece we create is personalizable so you have a hand in creating it too. Once you customize your design our team renders a CAD to your specifications and then your design is printed in wax and then cast in metal. We believe by involving you in the journey, your piece will be even more meaningful to you and become a silent reminder that can be worn today, tomorrow and for generations to come. To begin...
First, decide which story you want to tell—
The idea for Silent Opus was inspired by a ruby ring my mom made when I was born. She wore this ring every day until my wedding when she passed it on to me. So much more than just an accessory, each piece of jewelry is created to be a silent reminder what what's most important in life. — Vanessa, Founder
Do you want to create a piece to celebrate the birth of your child? A major life accomplishment such as an advanced degree or a job promotion? Celebrate the life of a loved one? Whatever means the most to you, we’re here to help you create it. We’re a brand focused on storytelling and we believe the journey of each product’s creation is as important as the outcome. That’s why we don’t produce inventory or purchase stock items — each design is custom created just for you as soon as your order is placed.

Next, Choose Your Jewelry Design, Metal and Stone
We like to think of ourselves as the silent architects behind each design, creating the structure that you can then make your own. Each piece of jewelry is thoughtfully designed to be personalizable in some way shape or form. Start by selecting a design that speaks to you (we suggest you follow your gut) from our collection of custom necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings.
All of our designs are available in recycled 14k yellow and white gold with specific designs also available in .925 sterling silver. Using recycled gold and alternative gemstones is important to us (we all love diamonds, but we think you’ll love Honey Opals just as much), but true sustainability goes deeper than the materials we use. We believe in building products that last — not just for years, but for generations because buying less is the only truly sustainable way forward.
Engraving Ideas
Most of our pieces have the option for personal engravings. Add your initials, your children's date of birth, an anniversary in roman numerals, an inspiring passage — this is your opportunity to engrave something truly meaningful to you (you can also select the font style).
Some of our favorites have been:
- Today I have loved you for [654] days.
- Soulmates
- I’ll be there
- All is possible to those who believe
- Go with your heart
- “You are my sun, my moon, and all of my stars”
- “Fall seven times, stand up eight”
Your Personalized Jewelry Box & Cleaning Pen
After you customize your piece, don’t forget to personalize your jewelry box. Every piece comes in a custom jewelry box available in 4 colors (bone white, mint green, soft black, and classic caramel). You can also personalize your jewelry box with a monogram of up to 5 letters. Along with your jewelry box, you will also receive a cleaning pen that you can use to keep your jewelry clean and shiny for years to come.
P.S. Our jewelry boxes are made from a custom ultrasuede fabric and sustainably designed with a removable insert intended for continued use as a storage keepsake (and passed down for generations to come).
Confidence In Shopping Silent Opus — Enjoy Free Shipping and Free Returns
That’s right, for the time being we offer free shipping (within the US) and free returns on customized jewelry.
Offering free returns doesn’t seem revolutionary in this digital day and age, but when it comes to custom fine jewelry — it’s actually quite game changing.
Each piece of jewelry is made just for you, so in most cases, if an item is returned it has to be dissembled and melted back to its original form. We made the decision to offer free returns on all of our jewelry because we know how daunting it can be to make a significant purchase like this online — and we’re firm believers that if you truly love your piece, we’ll both win in the long run.
We want you to have complete confidence in your purchase with Silent Opus. When your piece arrives we will be happy to help you adjust or fix any issues that you might have.
Here are some of your questions answered:
- Even personalized jewelry can be returned?
Yes — for now. While this policy may change in the future, we want you to feel comfortable with your purchase, even if it comes at a cost to us. - Won’t people take advantage of this policy?
We believe in the golden rule and by trusting you, we hope to build your trust as well. - Are there any hidden return fees?
No hidden fees. 100% of your purchase will be refunded if you’re not in love with it.
