At our bespoke jewellers, established in 1948, we pride ourselves on crafting extraordinary pieces that showcase your individuality. Merging traditional handmade techniques with the latest CAD software, we excel in creating custom designs tailored specifically for you.
In this article, we'll take you through our unique approach to custom jewellery, highlight some of our recent projects and assist you in beginning your bespoke journey with us.
We have a large online portfolio of bespoke creations under the #madebywoods tag.
The Art of Bespoke Jewellery
Firstly we begin with a free design consultation allowing us to grasp your vision, inspiration, and the sentiment behind the materials you would like included.
Our Gemmologist will take a look at any gemstones and diamonds, checking their suitability to the design, our Goldsmith will asses the design from a practical point of view, while our Designer looks at the process from a creative stand point - making sure that your design is exactly what you envisaged.
After sketching out some initial ideas we then move into CAD, creating a realistic 3D image of your chosen design, allowing you to visualise how the finished piece will look. We will render this design in the relevant metals and gemstones. See below a bespoke design that we worked on earlier this year, to the left are our customers three sentimental rings, and to the right a CAD design of the bangles we were to completely handcraft for her out of the pictured rings and some other sentimental gold.
We embrace traditional craftsmanship, with every bespoke design being entirely hand crafted, or cast and hand finished on-site. Our attention to detail ensures the final creation is not only visually stunning but also feels exceptional to wear.
Sustainable Practices: From Old Gold to New Treasures
Sustainability is more important than ever, and we take pride in transforming old sentimental jewellery into renewed pieces full of meaning.
This approach not only revitalises exisiting pieces but also embraces a circular economy, minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact. By remaking worn-out items, you can wear a piece of jewellery that tells a story while being mindful of its ecological footprint.
State-of-the-Art Technology Meets Traditional Craftsmanship
We bridge the gap between tradition and innovation by utilizing advanced CAD technology alongside our traditional techniques. This seamless balance allows us to delve into intricate designs while maintaining the heartfelt, handcrafted essence that makes bespoke jewellery so special.
With CAD modelling, customers can visualise their designs before they come to life, creating an interactive design process. During a recent project, a couple was able to view a 3D model of their custom engagement ring, which led to valuable adjustments before the final creation. This ensures that every detail reflects your desires and intentions accurately.
