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 guiding them to the perfect piece.
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, over the course of several 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.
Engagement Rings
Creating a bespoke engagement ring or wedding band that is every bit as unique as your love story is a highly personal experience. Sophie and our Studio Manager Tati will work closely with you to transform your vision into a ring that embodies your history together – a symbol of love, to be worn proudly every day.
