how we work
step 1: discovery call
we learn your brief, your timeline, and — if relevant — take an honest look at any existing piece. within 48 hours, we follow up in writing with 2–3 real options, priced against current stone availability.
step 2: design & studio match
we write the CAD brief, match you to the right studio for the job, and manage the design review and revisions on your behalf.
step 3: delivery
we check quality at every stage through to hallmarking and handover, with your sign-off before anything is finished.

questions people ask before they start
is it worth remodelling my ring?
sometimes. it depends on the metal, the stones, and what you actually want at the end. we'll give you a straight answer in the discovery call — including when buying new makes more sense than remodelling.
how much does custom jewellery cost in the uk?
bespoke pieces in london typically start around £2,000–3,000 depending on metal and stone choice. we'll price your specific brief against real, current stone availability — not a generic estimate.
can you redesign an engagement ring?
yes — resetting an inherited stone, combining two rings, or simply updating a setting you've outgrown are all common briefs. we'll assess the stone and metal first, then match you to a goldsmith who specialises in this kind of redesign.
do you make the jewellery yourselves?
no — we're independent advisors, not a workshop. we don't take commission from any studio, so our advice on design, budget, and who should make your piece stays unbiased.
