THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The process of designing and manufacturing a special piece of jewellery can be as individual as the item being produced.

If you have a piece of jewellery in mind, have seen a piece of jewellery you would like to recreate, or would like a piece of jewellery that you are unable to find in the high street shop, make contact with me through the contacts page. From this contact we can start the dialogue that will form the first step in the process.

Once I have an idea of what you are looking for I will produce sketches and/or wax models of the design.

At this point a deposit will be required. With these designs you will receive an estimate of the anticipated cost of the completed article. This estimate may change, up or down, depending on stones chosen or changes made to the design. But you will find that prices quoted will be very competitive. Most retail jewellers do not have the skill or the know-how that it takes to create bespoke jewellery. They have to rely on buying those services from a third party and adding their profit to the basic cost. I make the jewellery for you myself, and also I do not have the overheads that burden a retail shop. Overheads that have to be paid for out of the profit added to your purchase.

 

As soon as the design has been agreed I will then proceed to make the item.

 

On receipt of payment the item will be despatched insured and tracked and requiring a signature. I am confident the resulting piece of jewellery will be entirely to your satisfaction.
