Bespoke Pieces and Jewellery Commissions

Ever wondered how to go about commissioning a beautiful piece of jewellery? Here you can see the 3 stages to go through when making a one of a kind piece.

Stage 1 - Design coversation

The first stage of any bespoke commission is to have a conversation with my customer. This way I can find out what is it the customer is looking for including important details such; as the occasion, do they have a particular date for the deadline? What size/scale does the piece need to be - particularly relevant when creating a ring? do they have a budget to work to? What metal would they like to use?

Asking questions around all of these factors helps to contribute to the unique design of a piece and ensure the customers needs are met.

Stage 2 - Begin Making

Once a design and price has been agreed with the customer, materials are ordered and I can set to work creating.

I love working closely with the customer to make something unique to them. Each time new challenges are presented creating interest within the making process

Please note: For all bespoke items a non-refundable deposit of 50% is required to confirm the order.

Stage 3 - final piece

For me this is always the most exciting/nerve-racking part of the process. Hoping that the customer loves the pieces as much as I do. I always feel I am holding my breath until I see their response.

The final stage is of course the finished article. Once a piece has been finished, in some cases sized to fit, hallmarked and fully paid for, the customer can finally enjoy wearing their uniquely beautiful jewellery commission.

If you do have a special date in mind please do let me know and I will work to try and meet this where possible.

Please assume a lead time of around 8 weeks.
