Bespoke work

Begin with an idea.

A color you keep returning to. A shape you have not found. Tell us what you would like to wear, and we can begin with the details that matter to you.

Tell us what you have in mind.

You can arrive with a sketch, a reference or a few words. Explain what draws you to it and when you imagine wearing the piece. If you have a budget or a date in mind, mention those at the beginning.

Bespoke work

Give the idea a shape.

A design takes form through decisions about proportion, material and fit. For a ring, that might mean the height of a setting or the width of the band. For earrings or a pendant, it might be the scale and how the piece sits.

Look closely before deciding.

Ask to see how the proposed details work together. This is the time to revisit a stone shape, simplify a line or clarify a measurement. After the design review, you should know which details are agreed and which still need your input.

Agree the next step.

The design, materials, estimate and timing should be clear before work begins. Keep the care questions in the conversation, too. They are part of choosing a piece you will enjoy wearing.

A few useful
questions.

Do I need a finished design?
No. A shape, color or reason for the piece is enough to begin discussing a direction. Bring references that help explain what you like.
Can we discuss a stone I already own?
Yes, you can raise that in the first conversation. Its condition, dimensions and suitability would need to be considered before a design or use is agreed.
How are cost and timing decided?
They depend on the agreed design, materials and work involved. Share your budget and any important date early, and review the estimate and timing before proceeding.
Can I change the design during the review?
The review is the right time to raise changes. Ask how a proposed change affects the design, estimate and timing before agreeing the next step.

Some things are
better seen closely.

Come with a piece in mind, or a question. A viewing is a chance to explore the details a photograph can’t settle.
