The Bespoke Journey

Creating bespoke jewellery should feel exciting, not daunting. My role is to guide you through the process clearly and calmly, so you always know what’s happening and feel confident at every stage.

Whether you’re designing an engagement ring, remodelling an heirloom or creating something completely new, the journey is always shaped around you.

Personal Service

Step 1: The Initial Consultation

A Conversation, Not A Commitment

The first step is simply a conversation. This can take place by phone, video call, email or WhatsApp, whatever feels easiest for you.

We’ll talk through what you’re hoping to create, how the piece will be worn, and what matters most to you. If the jewellery is a surprise, I’ll ask thoughtful questions about the recipient’s style and personality. Photos or inspiration images are always helpful, but not essential.

There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. This stage is about understanding, not decisions.

Step 2: Design & Creation

Sourcing The Perfect Diamond Or Gemstone

My favourite part! If your design includes a diamond or gemstone, I’ll carefully source options for you based on what matters most, whether that’s shape, colour, size, character or budget. I work with trusted suppliers to find stones that feel right for your design, rather than relying on generic stock.

Not every bespoke piece needs a stone, it’s completely up to you. Some designs are led purely by form, metal choice or sentiment, and that’s absolutely fine. We’ll only include a diamond or gemstone if it truly adds something to the piece.

Refining The Design

Once we’ve agreed on the direction, I’ll create rough sketches followed by clear, easy-to-understand CAD images. These show the design in detail and allow you to see proportions, setting style and overall balance before anything is made.

This is a collaborative stage. We can make adjustments, refine details and take our time until everything feels just right. There’s no pressure to rush decisions (unless you have a tight timescale) - the aim is for you to feel completely comfortable before moving forward.

Production In The Jewellery Quarter Workshop

Once you have approved the design, your piece is made by my team of skilled craftspeople in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter. Traditional techniques are combined with modern processes to bring the design to life.

From casting and setting to polishing and finishing, every detail is carefully checked to ensure the jewellery is comfortable, durable and beautifully finished.

Step 3: Completion & Delivery

The part we’ve all been waiting for!

Once complete, your jewellery is carefully checked, beautifully packaged and sent via secure insured delivery.
The parcel will be plain and inconspicuous, so as not to give any secrets away.
If the piece is a surprise or needed for a specific date, this can be arranged.

This is always the most rewarding part of the process - seeing a design move from idea to finished piece, ready to be worn and loved. I always love hearing how the moment unfolds, especially when the jewellery marks something truly special.
