Manufacturing for Our Clients.

Your Vision. Our Workbench.

We believe your jewellery should be as unique as your story. We work directly with you throughout the entire process—from discussing initial design concepts to sourcing ethical stones, and finally, crafting your one-of-a-kind piece to exact specifications.

The Commissioning Process

PHASE 01

The Brief & Sourcing

It all begins with an idea. We sit down with you to discuss sketches, inspirations, and lifestyle requirements. During this phase, we also source a curated selection of ethical diamonds and gemstones for your approval.
PHASE 02

Precision Rendering

Our CAD specialists and master draftsmen translate your vision into millimeter-perfect technical drawings and photorealistic renders, ensuring every proportion is flawlessly calculated before metal is ever touched.
PHASE 03

The Bench

Crafted entirely in-house. Our master goldsmiths forge the ethical alloys, while our setters execute flawless microscopic stone setting to maximize brilliance and security.
PHASE 04

Delivery & Discretion

The finished heirloom is rigorously inspected, hallmark stamped at the London Assay Office, and beautifully packaged, ready to be passed down for generations.

Words from our Clients.

Commissioning Your Piece.

Commissioning a bespoke piece can be daunting at first. To help us gauge exactly what you’d like to create, we recommend bringing the following to your initial consultation:

01. Photos

The best way to show us what you want is to show us photos of all the details you wish to incorporate into your piece.

02. Measurements

While not essential (all rings we make come with one free sizing), getting the finger size right first time is recommended. Other dimensions contribute to the overall proportions.

03. Budget

Jewellery can massively vary in price. A clear idea of your budget allows us to present the options that are most tailored to your needs.

Bespoke Commissions.

Everything you need to know about creating a custom engagement ring or personal heirloom.
How much does a bespoke engagement ring cost?
The cost of a bespoke engagement ring varies entirely based on the rarity of the center gemstone (such as GIA-certified diamonds or sapphires), the complexity of the CAD design, and the weight of the precious metal. During your initial consultation, we tailor the gemstone sourcing and metal options to perfectly align with your specific budget.
