The Process of Bespoke Jewellery

To use our bespoke jewellery services, the process is simple. You’ll need to book a design appointment with our Head Designer and Creative Director, Rebecca Smith who will explore your ideas and use her expertise to create a unique design that expresses your creativity and identity. 

If you are choosing to redesign an old piece of jewellery we ask you to bring it along to your appointment, to discuss the sentimental value and test the quality of the precious metals and gemstones. We then create a plan, highlighting the elements most important to you, outlining our recommendations, designs and costs.

See us hand-make your new jewellery in our Ditchling Workshop. Any unused materials will be returned to you and we can credit unwanted metal towards the making cost of your new bespoke piece. Finally, we revalue your beautiful new jewellery and it's ready to wear.

    Ordered a beautiful bracelet online for my Mum's birthday, it arrived so quickly and it's absolutely stunning in person. Thank you Emily for you help, I'm very pleased with it. My mum had a silver bangle made for me here 26 years ago when I was born, so it was lovely to get something for her. Thank you again

    Excellent jeweller! We got our engagement and both wedding rings from here, we designed them together and the results were amazing! Really pleased we went here after the pressure sellers in the Brighton Laines, we were made to feel welcome and there was no pressure to purchase.

    Absolutely stunning redesign of some old jewellery I had kept for years and not worn. The attention to detail was second to none. I'm delighted with my new stacking rings. Would 100% recommend.
  • Lindsay Wittenberg
    I've bought a number of pieces of lovely jewellery from Pruden & Smith over the years. Most recently I bought a pair of tanzanite square stud earrings, which are beautiful and which I love. Three months later I lost one of the earring backs. Pruden & Smith were just wonderful in replacing it: immensely helpful and constructive, very prompt and efficient in their communications, and very generous over the replacement.

    My (now) fiancé and I went to Pruden and Smith all the way from Somerset to get an engagement ring designed. They were really helpful with excellent customer service. I've had tons of compliments on my ring and love that it's unique compared to everyone else's.
  • Martin Rix
    I ordered a custom engagement ring for my (now) fiance. Due to Covid, I preferred not have an in person appointment and was able to discuss what I was looking for over the phone and video call. I was kept updated on the progress of the ring, and was able to pick the ring up at a date that I felt was comfortable. My fiance and I love the ring and we are very happy with it!

    I kept looking at lapis lazuli pendant round online on December 2020. I was so in love with it. And to my surprise my husband bought it for my birthday. It is absolutely stunning. The quality superb, very well made. I love their designs. I had my engagement ring bought from them and when it needed to be repaired the staff are so friendly and so helpful.

    The experience and level of service is second to none. I had the pleasure of having 3 rings made and tailored to my specification. Rebecca is a lovely lady and listens very carefully as to what the customer wants and gives advice accordingly. Sebastian was too very helpful in producing an image from my poor hand drawn image! My own jewellery was then transformed into something that is now to be worn.
  • Charles Butterwick
    We were told about Pruden and Smith around the time of our wedding in 2017 and were really impressed with the quality of our wedding bands, which they made for us, alongside alterations to my wife's engagement ring that had been made elsewhere previously. These lovely people are not just one-trick excellent jewellers but provide wrap around care and fantastic customer support. Couldn't recommend more highly.
