    I haven't bought a safe yet (new roof comes first) but I did have
    occassion to be at the mall a few months ago during a gun show, and
    came upon several men wheeling a gun safe out the door.  They made
    the safes themselves (bonus!) and the gentleman I spoke to indicated
    that he would be willing to make a custom safe for jewelry.  Since I
    knew that it would be a while before I was ready to purchase a safe,
    I didn't feel comfortable asking for an estimate, but the safe they
    had, which was for shotguns and rifles, was about 5 or 6 feet tall,
    3 feet wide, and 2.5-ish feet deep, exterior dimensions, sold for
    US$750, which is roughly half the price of comparably sized safes
    for sale from larger companies.  There were questions I didn't thing
    to ask at the time, like about fire lining, but it was still
    significantly cheaper than a brand name safe without fire lining. 
    Unless I'm fortunate enough to have a used safe fall in my lap
    (figuratively speaking,) this is probably the route I'll go when I
    buy one.
