Bespoke
I absolutely love working on bespoke pieces. It feels like a true collaboration. I often find something totally new manifests itself from a bespoke commission. Something that wouldn’t have become, without you being involved.
Depending on how much of an idea you already have, you will start by filling in what you can of the form below. Once I have these details, I will respond with the best place for us to start. It may be a selection of Gemstones, or perhaps examples of my own work, that we can begin to build your idea from.
The process is fairly fluid, and it can take longer than you would think, so keep this in mind as we begin our journey.
Please provide as much information as you can at this stage.
For example:
- Is it for a Ring, Earrings, a Necklace.
- What metal would you prefer.
Sterling silver, 9ct, 18ct, yellow, red or white gold.
- With stones. Which stones?
- What is your budget.
- Do you have a deadline.
- Is this for a Wedding, a Birthday...
Don’t worry if you cannot answer all of these questions, it is just a helpful place to start, so I can prepare as much info for you in our first chat/email.
We will cover everything I need to know to be able to give you an estimate, and I will provide you with different design details, that are in keeping with my aesthetic if you don’t have a clear idea to begin with.
If you would like a variation of something you have seen of mine, perhaps using different stones, different metal or just a different size, please, if possible, share a screen grab of the piece.
I’m also happy to have a video call with you if you’d prefer, or potentially in person (remember I’m based in Hastings, but travel to London fairly often).
Payment
An initial (non refundable) design fee of £200 is required, before we begin making your piece. This will be deducted from the total cost at the end.
There may be additional costs at this early stage, for example stone removal etc. These will be explained as and when.
The total project price will be confirmed and agreed in writing (all quotes are valid for 10 days)
And a deposit of 60% will be required to secure materials and commence your commission.
Once this payment has cleared, you are committed to the order, and it is not possible to cancel.
The deposit is non refundable, once materials have been secured and the commission is underway.
The remaining balance is due in full, once the item is ready prior to collection or delivery.
Turnaround times
The turnaround for each bespoke piece of jewellery varies considerably, so I will treat each order individually, and give you an estimate as early as I can during the initial stages.
Please note, Made to Order pieces from the online collections, have a turnaround time of up to 6 weeks, so it would be safe to expect longer than that for bespoke. Particularly during busier times, like in the run up to Xmas.
Please keep this in mind, and allow plenty of time for the process to feel relaxed and uncompromised by time constraints.
