Our bespoke process

Bringing your Dream Ring to Life

01

It starts with a conversation

Once we have received your enquiry, we will reach out to you personally with a brief set of customised questions to further establish the ideas, aspiration, and dreams that you have in mind for your bespoke piece.

02

Let's dive a little deeper

We don't believe in long forms or faceless questionnaires, so now it is time to discuss your design in person.

A face to face or virtual appointment is arranged with Isabella, our founder and head designer, who will guide you through the next stages.

Let's dive a little deeper

We don't believe in long forms or faceless questionnaires, so after understanding the initial aspirations for your piece, it is time to discuss your design in person and in greater depth with Isabella, whilst also guiding you through the forthcoming stages.

An appointment is arranged either face to face or virtually with Isabella our founder and head designer.

Time to create something magic

With a full mood board and a clear grasp of your ideas, it’s time to get to work.

Isabella presents initial research, early stage design drawings, costing/timescale estimates, and material sourcing options for your consideration before making necessary amendments for the start of the approval phase.

Before we engage our Master Goldsmiths, it is time to agree on our eventual design, materials, timescales and pricing.
It is at this stage that we take our non-refundable deposit, and place orders for our raw materials from our trusted suppliers.
