Bespoke Jewellery Design Process
As third generation jewellers, we design and handcraft bespoke jewellery in London, including engagement rings, wedding bands, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Discover our bespoke jewellery design process and see how we transform your ideas into one-of-a-kind, heirloom pieces.
Design to reality
From first ideas to final polish, every detail is thoughtfully crafted by our family of experts.
Before
After
1. Consultation
We start with a chat - in person, by email, or a phone call to discuss your vision, budget, and inspiration. Together, we refine your ideas to create a bespoke engagement ring that’s uniquely yours, whether you have a clear concept or are starting from scratch.
2. Stone Sourcing
We carefully source a curated selection of diamonds and gemstones for your bespoke engagement ring or jewellery piece, ensuring you see only the highest quality options that suit your style and budget.
3. Design Appointment
Visit our Hatton Garden office (allow 1.5 hours) to view diamonds and begin shaping your bespoke engagement ring or jewellery design. Not in London? We offer seamless online consultations across time zones.
4. Design Concepts
After your design consultation, we develop visual concepts for your bespoke jewellery or custom engagement ring. Once your sketch or CAD design is approved, a 3D print lets you preview the piece before it’s handcrafted.
5. Creation
Once your design, stones, and budget are approved, our master goldsmiths and setters handcraft your bespoke jewellery. With meticulous quality checks at every stage, pieces are typically completed in 4-8 weeks, with custom timelines available for special occasions.
Why go bespoke?
