Welcome to bespoke

Imagine jewellery tailored to you, reflecting your unique style. That's the magic of bespoke jewellery. It offers an exclusive piece, distinctively yours in every detail. Here you can explore designs that others have made with us over the years.

Bespoke jewellery is more than just beauty; it holds emotions and memories. Whether it's a special birthday gift, an anniversary surprise, or a treat to yourself, it's not just about the sparkle but the heartfelt sentiment in each piece.

What is bespoke jewellery?

Bespoke jewellery is custom-made jewellery, designed to suit your specific preferences and desires. Unlike mass-produced items, bespoke pieces are handmade with a personal touch, involving a collaborative process between yourself and our Creative Director, Rebecca Smith. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your unique style, story, and sentiments.

Why bespoke stands out

How many times have you seen someone wearing the same jewellery as you? That's the thing with mass-produced items. But with bespoke jewellery, every piece tells a different story that's uniquely yours.

Take this ring we co-designed with a customer who wanted to represent their interest in astronomy – we seamlessly incorporated a shooting star into the design.

Bespoke Jewellery FAQs

How long does it take to create a bespoke piece?

The time can vary based on complexity, design intricacies, and materials used. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. We always recommend starting well in advance if the piece is for a special occasion.

Can I use my own gemstones or metals in the design?

Yes, absolutely! Incorporating your own materials, like gemstones from family heirlooms or gold from old jewellery, can add a personal touch to the piece.

How much does bespoke jewellery cost?

Cost varies based on design, materials, and craftsmanship involved. After the initial consultation and design phase, we provide a detailed quotation. Remember, bespoke is about quality and personalisation, so it might be a bit more than generic pieces.

What if I don’t like the final piece?


We involve our clients in every step to ensure satisfaction. After the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) stage, adjustments can be made. Once crafted, we're committed to tweaking it until you love it.

How do I care for my bespoke jewellery?

While bespoke pieces are handmade with care, regular cleaning and periodic professional maintenance will keep them shining for years. Store them safely and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals. Explore our Jewellery Care page for more information.
