Bespoke Jewellery Design

To guarantee complete originality, bespoke jewellery design means designing your piece completely from scratch or using a basic model as a base. For example, you may purchase a plain yellow-gold band and decide to add a gemstone or engrave a design around the border. When designing your own piece of jewellery, you will have control over elements such as the gold colour, metal, diamond carat and weight, gemstone, sizing and finished polish.

When it comes to designing a piece of jewellery, engagement rings are one of the most sought-after, allowing this momentous occasion to be filled with thoughtfulness and intimacy. If you’re looking to invest in a completely bespoke engagement ring, visit our design page or arrange a consultation with one of our experts.

Engraved Jewellery

Engraved jewellery is jewellery that has a design etched into its surface, changing the metal’s surface. Engraving is a traditional way to personalise jewellery pieces, typically used on engagement rings, wedding bands, eternity rings, bridesmaid jewellery, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets.

This form of personalisation can be done on many types of metals, including gold, silver, and platinum, but it cannot be done on diamonds or any form of gemstones or plastic. When choosing what to engrave into a piece of jewellery, common choices include dates, initials, meaningful messages or a small motif.

Meaningful Gemstones

All gemstones come with a rich history, and over time, have become symbols of a wide range of special occasions and prominent life moments. Whether you’re celebrating another year of blissful marriage or someone is celebrating a milestone birthday, customised gemstone jewellery is the perfect way to add a more personal touch. These gemstones also come with a selection of different meanings and characteristics which may represent the person you’re gifting or the bond between the two of you. Available in rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, gemstone jewellery can be an option for anniversaries, birthdays and holidays.

Reviving old jewellery

Instead of purchasing brand-new jewellery, there are also a number of opportunities when it comes to reviving your older pieces, whether that simply means giving them a polish or adding new, modern elements such as gems, engraving or a new gold coating. This can be especially sentimental for those who have heirlooms within their family or have a particular piece of jewellery that holds great meaning but has lost its sparkle.
