Our Bespoke Jewelry Process

BESPOKE

is more than just a custom piece; it is a reflection of each client's individuality and style. Each piece is designed to meet your unique specifications and preferences, ensuring that it is one of a kind.

The value of bespoke jewelry lies in its exclusivity, as we never reproduce the exact design for anyone else.

We work closely with you to create a piece that meets your preferences, including your budget and overall design aesthetic, to ensure you get the perfect piece.

Step 1: Consultation & Design Development

 Your Bespoke design begins with meaningful discussions. We delve into the depths of your vision, carefully listening to your desires and understanding the emotions you wish to embody in your design. Josanne, will skillfully guide you through this creative exploration. With our deep understanding of jewelry craftsmanship and our ability to translate emotions into exquisite designs, we will transform your aspirations into reality. After a series of communications about your design and about the person who will wear the piece, we then develop a few hand drawn, rough sketches, for you to choose from.

Then,we source
your gems/diamonds.

Each precious stone
is unique to the person we are designing for.

Our gemstones are sourced through various suppliers from around the globe, all of whom we have a trusted and long standing relationship with. When it comes to choosing your gemstones or diamonds, we like to give our clients the opportunity of choice based on budget .

The building of the model is a crucial step in turning the design concept into a reality.

Designing with CAD technology allows for absolute precision in the construction of the piece and the accuracy of the fit and layout of each diamond.

Step 2: Your Quotation

An accurate quotation can only be given after your consultation is completed i.e. when your CAD/ 3D design is finished and has been approved by you and your gems have been selected.  

Step 3: Manufacturing

3D printed wax model

A  wax model of your piece is 3D printed from the CAD we created. It is then cast in the metal of your choice, using eco-friendly sources.

After casting, we apply a pre-finishing polish to the metal, and the diamonds are each carefully set by hand, before a final polish is applied.

Bespoke, Custom-made, Customized:
What's the difference?

The term Bespoke refers to an item of jewelry that is created on the basis of a client’s specific request, unique design plan, purpose, time frame and budget. A bespoke design contains individual design details that are unique to the person it is being created for; as such, the exact piece will not be reproduced for someone else (except via the client's own request). All bespoke designs are essentially Custom-made ​(made to order for a particular customer) hence, the term is often used interchangably. 

Custom-made and Customized  designs do not meet the definition of bespoke as they are based on our standard range of designs that have, by request, been individually altered, for example, with rearranged features or unique gems creating a non-standard personalised item.
