Here are some of our previous bespoke commissions, we will be updating this page regularly so keep an eye out for new designs and inspiration. To start your own bespoke journey contact our designer today!

Octagonal Cluster Bespoke Design

Here is a photograph of a bespoke piece we created for a client. She had a variety of diamonds from old pieces of jewellery, all with sentimental value that she wanted to have made into something new. 

​

She knew she wanted something very sparkly and "bling", she wanted a piece that would really stand out.

​

We created her this beautiful octagonal cluster using as many of her stones as we could, without making the piece look cluttered or over crowded. 

​

With 17 stones in the head, 3 in each shoulder and an additional 2 set underneath the head within the gallery, this ring is truly magical, sparkling from every angle. 

 

CAD DESIGN

When creating designs for our clients we use the most up to date versatile technology available, CAD imaging. 

​

Using this software our on-site designer can input the client's stone details and create a completely bespoke design around them.

​

We can explore different options, and often do before settling on the final design.

​

Here are 2 designs displayed as CAD technical images, the top is the design the client chose and the bottom is another idea we discussed along the way. 

 

Single / Triple Bangle Bespoke Design

One of the most technically challenging pieces we've ever made - a bangle that can be worn as three individual bangles

- or one triple one!

 

This design incorporated all of the client's sentimental stones giving them a new lease of life in a piece she can enjoy wearing.

​

Here are some images showing the intricate process and journey we travelled with our wonderful client.  

THE DESIGN

Our Senior Goldsmith handcrafted this entire bangle from start to finish in our in-house workshop, using CAD designs provided by our on-site designer -  using our client's sentimental stones as pictured above.

 

Here is the final CAD design, demonstrating how the bangle will look when together - and apart. It also provides a visual of the layout, distribution and setting of the stones.

 

When worn as one the three bangles are secured by a peg and ball that screws through the "torque" ends.

 

Here are some digital sketches we provided for our client as a starting point for the design process. We created several initial design ideas showing just a top down view of each idea to demonstrate the spread of the stones across a varying amount of bangles and also two ideas of how to create a bangle that could be worn individually and as one. â€‹â€‹

Bespoke Interlocking Band Ring

Another handcrafted work of art by our on-site Goldsmith and designed by our on-site Designer. Again we have used our client's sentimental items, in this case the diamonds and the gold too! Re-working five rings she had inherited but wouldn't wear, pictured below - into one piece she can cherish and enjoy every day, pictured to the left. 

 

CAD DESIGNS

We like to provide our clients with all available options, utilising our state of the art CAD technology we are able to do just that! 

​

These images are created by our Designer, first measuring the client's stones and calculating the available metal, she begins to work these materials into a design.

 

In this case the client has a vision of what she would like, she wanted the stones bezel set and the bars interlocking, but was open to how we interpreted this. She was also unsure if she wanted the whole ring in yellow gold or to have the stones set in white gold.

​

Our designer supplied a variety of images showing different configurations of stone layouts and varying options of how the bars could interlock. Some straight and intercepting each other, while some bend and sweep over and under. 

​

These CAD designs are then rendered in the relevant gemstones and metals to provide a really realistic image of how the final design would look once it is hand made.

Bespoke Ring and Two Matching Pendants

For this client we transformed their sentimental gemstones and diamonds into a ring and two matching pendants, we love the result! Pictured are the finished pendants and ring, and the original rings prior to re-design.

THE DESIGNS

Pictured are the CAD designs for these pieces, the ring fell into place almost straight away with the quantity and size of the stones lending themselves instantly to this layout. Our client also wanted a matching pendant for her and her daughter, and had a fairly clear idea of what she would like. After demonstrating a swirl, a pear and an elongated pear she decided on the elongated pear.

​

These items were cast directly from our designer's CAD designs and then all items were hand finished on-site.
