When you come to me for a bespoke piece, you're not choosing from a catalogue or adjusting a template. You're starting from scratch — with a designer who will listen carefully, ask the right questions, and craft something that couldn't exist for anyone else.
Most of my bespoke clients are proposing. But many are women who want something made entirely for themselves — a milestone birthday, a fresh chapter, a piece that belongs to no one else. And some bring me something old that deserves a new life — a family heirloom, a ring with memories they're ready to transform.
Whatever brings you here — I'd love to hear about it.
How It Works
Step 1 — We talk
Your first consultation is free, and it's just a conversation. We'll talk about what you have in mind — your style, what you love, what feels important. You don't need to know anything about diamonds or gold. That's my job. We can meet in person in London or Amsterdam, or over video call.
Step 2 — I design
Based on our conversation, I'll sketch initial concepts and source stones for you to consider — ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones, selected specifically for your brief. You'll see everything before anything is decided.
In some cases, where more exploration is needed before committing to a full commission, I offer a standalone design fee. This covers my time on concepts and, if needed, a physical prototype. It's fully deducted from the final project cost if you go ahead. I'll always let you know if this applies before any work begins.
Step 3 — We agree on the design and the details
Once you're happy with the direction, I'll send you a full quote and an estimated completion date. A 50% deposit is required to begin making. The remaining 50% is due on completion, before the piece is delivered.
Step 4 — I make it by hand
I craft the piece myself in my London atelier, using recycled gold and the finest materials. You'll receive updates along the way so you're never left wondering.
Step 5 — You propose
Most commissions take between 4 and 12 weeks from design approval.
If you have a date or occasion in mind, tell me early and we'll plan around it.
A note from me
I grew up watching my father give my mother a piece of jewellery to mark each of their children's births. That's where I learned what jewellery really is — not decoration, but a moment made permanent.
I've made engagement rings for nervous partners who had no idea where to start. I've made milestone pieces for women marking the chapters that mattered most. I've taken heirlooms apart and rebuilt them into something new. Every commission is different — but the intention is always the same: to make something that means something.

Investment
Bespoke commissions start from £4,000. Every piece is different, and I'll always be transparent about costs before anything begins.
