Bespoke is an entirely original British concept. The term is generally more prevalent in British English; for example, “bespoke jewellery”. Bespoke is an adjective for anything commissioned to a particular specification. It may be altered or tailored to the customs, tastes, or usage of an individual purchaser. “The word bespoke is derived from the verb to bespeak, meaning to “speak for something”. Oxford Dictionary “to speak for, to arrange for, engage beforehand: to ‘order’ (goods)”. The adjective “bespoken” means “ordered, commissioned, arranged for” and is first cited from 1607.

BEGINNING THE PROCESS
I can work with images drawings or just an idea. I will ask you assemble a little mood board (using Pinterest is a great tool), assembling images of jewellery that inspires you, clothing, anything inspirational to use as a starting point.
REMODELLING, RENOVATIONS, RESTORATIONS OR REPAIRS.
You may have an heirloom, which has become tired and in need of love and rejuvenation. These pieces of jewellery bring a great deal of joy to me. Like a beautiful classic car that’s been rescued, estate and historic jewellery carries so much love and sentiment it deserves the best and I relish the challenges of bringing any jewellery back to life, so it can be loved by successive generations and not lost. If you have your own stone or want that ring of grandmother’s remodelled into a more contemporary design, just email me and I will be happy to guide you through the possibilities.
SHAPED TO FIT
With this service I can shape almost any wedding ring to fit perfectly next to your engagement ring. I will need your engagement ring to use as a guide during this process. I know how valuable your engagement ring is so it will be more secure and cared for than the pieces I make and create. It will be fully insured and locked up tight when not being used to create your new wedding band. I will return it by secure insured courier as soon as I have mapped the shape for the new ring. I want to get it back where it belongs as soon as possible.
CONCEPT
I promise I will design an amazing piece of jewellery unique to you. No teams of in-house jewellery designers, you will work with me using your ideas to create something especially for you. I want to bring the personal touch of my former high street retail gallery to the internet.
I will need your help with metal type, size, images and extra design details, I am not here to force my ideas on you. I will guide you and give you constructive and considered guidance to enable you to decide what you want. Its half the fun of this process, hearing what your aspirations and ideas are.
DESIGN PROCESS
The initial consultation with me is completely FREE and I will always provide you with a no-obligation estimate before the design starts. I only ask that you include as much information as possible in your initial e-mail.
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
The development of your design may include drawings which I prefer to CAD design, but in some circumstances this is an unavoidable option. When you and I have agreed the final design, and receipt of a 50% deposit. I will start making your bespoke piece. This design stage is generally through email and phone communication; but a personal consultation over a glass of wine in Greenwich is always a pleasurable option subject to my availability of appointments.
YOUR BESPOKE RING
The very nature of a bespoke ring is that it will be created especially for you and therefore will be completely unique. By putting your own ideas, whether they be personal or consolidating a number of ideas from other designs, will create a unique ring which is special to you.
