The Bespoke Experience
If you are looking for a completely unique piece, collaborating with Sophie on a bespoke jewellery design is an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s an engagement ring, wedding band or gift to celebrate one of life’s milestones, each one-of-a-kind jewellery creation tells the story of its owner through a jewel that will be worn and loved forever.
From first consultation to finished piece, every step of the bespoke journey is designed to be engaging and involved, beginning with an informal discussion on the phone. This is your chance to ask questions, talk through design concepts and set a budget.
Whether you have a clear idea in mind or are unsure where to start, Sophie is adept at creating a comfortable environment in which clients can confide their personal stories and, as the journey progresses, gently guide them to the perfect piece.
Engagement Rings
Creating a bespoke engagement ring that is every bit as unique as your love story is a highly personal experience. Sophie and our Head of Production Akansha will work closely with you to transform your vision into a ring that embodies your history together. From start to finish, the process usually takes 8-10 weeks, with prices starting from £4,000. If time is not on your side, our One-Of-A-Kind rings are ready-to-ship.

THE PROCESS
1. The Stones
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the bespoke process is finding exactly the right stones to bring your unique jewel to life. Sophie sources her diamonds and gemstones exclusively from her trusted network of London dealers and, during your appointments, will present different stone options so that you can choose which you are drawn to most.
2. The Design
As soon as the stones have been selected, Sophie will mock-up design options in 2D which you can print out to get an idea of style and size. This is the moment when we can have fun playing with different combinations of stones and design options. Once the final design has been decided, you can view your bespoke jewel from multiple angles via a series of photo-realistic 3D images, created using CAD.
3. The Craftsmanship
Following any final tweaks, it’s time to print a 3D model of your bespoke jewel. Made up of multiple, miniature pieces, these components are cast in your choice of precious metal and assembled by hand by our master craftsmen using traditional mounting techniques. Once the gems have been set and every surface polished, the creation of your bespoke piece is complete.
4. The Final Piece
Following a final quality check by the SB team, we ensure your engagement ring is beautifully boxed and packaged in one of our signature SB boxes before posting it to you. Alternatively, you can collect from our Notting Hill boutique.
From start to finish Sophie and her team were beyond fantastic in the design and execution of my fiancés engagement ring. Both myself and partner were absolutely blown away by the end result! I would highly recommend Sophie and team for anyone looking for a beautifully designed piece of jewellery - the bespoke process also aided in the ring becoming extra special. Tom & Josie
