CHRIS' BESPOKE STORY
"I inherited this ring after my Dad's passing in 2015. When my Mom decided to upgrade her engagement ring she had her original diamond set into this ring for my dad.
I liked the idea that it would once again find new life and form as something for me and I wanted the first time I wore it to be for my upcoming 50th birthday. As you can imagine, finding and trusting someone with the task of creating something new out of something that meant so much to me and, previous to that, my Mom and Dad was no easy feat. Thankfully I was introduced to Heather.
She worked with me over a number of sessions to create a piece to retain the soul of the last incarnation of the ring. What we created together exceeded all of my expectations and is one of my most beloved possessions.
Her patience and skills not only yielded a beautiful ring but helped me through the process of honouring my Dad’s life"
- Chris
It is always an honour to be involved in your story, so if you have a project in mind and Heathers' modern design style feels like a good fit, then we would love to hear from you!
We can work together from scratch on a completely bespoke design, customise a piece from my portfolio or breathe new life into your heirloom jewels (see our wedding and engagement ring page for further examples). The choice is yours!
A GUIDE TO COMMISSIONING BESPOKE & REMODELLED JEWELLERY
GETTING IN TOUCH
Email or whats app is my preferred way to start the conversation as it gives me time to read through and digest your enquiry. You may have a very clear vision of what you want or just a vague idea that needs plenty of guidance. Either starting point is fine! Just send a brief description of what you are interested in having made, and any inspiration images you may already have to help illustrate your idea, and we can start from there. If you have a budget in mind already do let us know as it helps us guide you on what materials / stones / design will be best suited for your project.
We can then arrange a meeting at the studio to discuss in more detail or continue the process by email / call / zoom etc if a visit is not possible.
DESIGN PROCESS
Sometimes it just takes a conversation, other times a simple sketch or model, and other times layers of research, sketching, experimentation and stone sourcing, It all depends on the individual nature and detail of the project in hand.
If the project requires precious stones I can source these for you to view and choose from. I am also registered to offer fairtrade gold.
TIME-FRAME
This varies greatly but most commissions take between 4 - 12 weeks to complete, so please try to allow as much time as possible.
Remember, the less rushed the time-frame the more you can relax and enjoy the journey!
If you have a short deadline let us know and we will always do our best to accommodate this.
COST
The price for bespoke pieces varies greatly depending on the level of design and research needed, choice of materials, cut, size and quality of gemstones, intricacy of construction and specialist techniques or processes involved. If you have a specific budget in mind please let us know as this will help us to guide you on the best options from the very beginning.
Please note: We do not recommend using silver for wedding or engagement rings or prong stone settings as it is a soft metal and will not offer longevity. We also do not recommend remodelling silver jewellery. Remodelling is best suited to yellow gold, ideally 18ct / 22ct, but 9ct is also possible in most cases. All metal to be used will have to be assessed for remodelling suitability.
PAYMENT
Once a design, cost and deadline has been agreed, and before making commences, a 50% deposit payment is required with the remaining balance due on completion and prior to collection or delivery.
Please note that deposit payments for bespoke work are non refundable.
Customised, remodelled or bespoke items are not eligible for return or refund.
Now you just have to sit back and relax whilst your beautiful bespoke piece is handcrafted just for you :)
