BESPOKE JEWELLERY PROCESS
- 1 -
CONSULTATION
• The initial consultation can be done over email, WhatsApp, telephone or zoom.
​
• The process will vary slightly depending on whether you have a specific idea of what you would like, or no idea at all.
​
• We will discuss your design ideas, stone preferences, metal options, budget and timescales.
​
• Knowing a rough budget can be a really helpful place to start as prices of materials can vary hugely. Knowing your budget would help me to give you options and ideas in the right ballpark.
​
• If you already have a very specific idea of what you want, I can give you a quote for that exact design. However there may still be different price brackets, as gemstone specifications can have a big impact on the overall price.
​
• Bespoke prices for engagement rings start from £1000 and wedding rings start from £400.

PRICE ESTIMATE
• Once I have an idea of what you are after, I can estimate prices for different options within the budget eg. Different gold purities or stone specifications.
• I will work hard to provide options within your budget and will be transparent as to what is possible to achieve.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
• There is a £250 design charge (which is redeemable against the final cost) to cover my time sourcing stones, designing etc.
​
• Once this is paid I can spend time sketching, 3D modelling and sourcing stones for the piece. Amendments to the design can be made at this stage.
​
• Once the design and materials are finalised, the final price will be calculated.

DEPOSIT
• 50% of the total price is requested prior to starting the making process, with the remainder to be paid on completion.
• Once I receive the deposit, the first step will be to source the gemstones. If there is a variety of gemstone options I will send videos via WhatsApp and reserve your selected gemstones.
• I will also create more detailed 3D CAD drawings. Any amendments and alterations can be made at this stage.
- 5 -
MAKING
• Once the design is finalised and the deposit has been paid I can start making!
• The making process will take up to 8 weeks from when the design has been finalised. (If a shorter deadline is required let me know and I will accommodate if possible).
• I can send updates and snapshots of the making process if requested.

FINISHED!
• I will let you know when the piece is ready and will send a photo/video of the finished piece.
• At this point the remaining balance will be paid and I will arrange with you a convenient time for the piece to be delivered.
• I'll send the item via insured next day delivery.
