Whidden Deer Park Ring
Bespoke Commissions
Are you looking for a special gift inspired by wild places, plants, animals or geology?
I love creating bespoke commissions! These can be rings, bracelets, pendants, earrings or other types of objects made from precious metals.
Step 1.
The initial consultation can be in person, phone/online or by email.
The process begins by you telling me about the kind of jewellery you would like. Sometimes it’s an engagement or wedding ring, jewellery to celebrate a special birthday, occasion or a commemorative piece.
You may have some old jewellery that you would like to be melted down, or gemstones that you would like to be incorporated into a new design.
You may wish to start from the beginning, choosing the colours and carats of recycled precious metals and fully traced, ethically sourced gemstones, from a wide selection.
Step 2.
Do have a specific element you would like to include? This could be a place you would to be evoked in the design, a plant, or perhaps colours and shapes.
I will make sketches, take photos and create some initial designs for us to discuss.
Initial design sketches
A hand painted rendering
In response to your feedback and thoughts, I develop the final design, ready for you to sign off.
I can also produce a hand painted rendering as lovely keepsake to accompany the finished piece.
When the finial design is agreed, I begin the making process to our agreed timeline. I will take photographs during the making process and send to you.
Step 3.
Making Process
Then I go to work, making a test version, prior to the finished article.
I completely handcraft your jewellery on the edge of Dartmoor, from the design to the processing of the metals, to stone setting, finishing and polishing. The jewellery is then Hallmarked by the London Assay Office.
It’s a lovely process!
Sustainable, beautiful packaging
