Made once, for one person.

Bring your own materials, your own ideas, or just a rough sense of what you want, and I will turn it into a piece that exists nowhere else. Engagement rings, remakes of inherited gold, pieces nobody has made before.

How a commission works

Say what you want

A full design or only a feeling. A first idea of cost before you leave.

See it before it's gold

Sketched, and where the piece calls for it, modelled in CAD. Change anything before it is cut.

Built, not assembled

Cast, filed, set and polished by hand, by the person who agreed the design with you.

The price stays honest

Budget guidance at the start, no surprise when you collect.

Jewellery like this is bought once, for life, so I never sell you an idea and hope it is close. I listen until I understand it, then make exactly that.

Do I need a design before I come in?+

No. Some people arrive with a drawing, some with a photograph, some with an idea and nothing else. I start with a conversation at the counter, then sketches, then a CAD model you can see from every side before anything is made.

Which metals and stones can you work in?+

Yellow, white and rose gold, and platinum. Diamonds and coloured stones. If you have gold of your own, or a stone from an old piece, bring it; using it is often the point.

How is the price worked out?+

From the metal, the stones, and how much work the design takes. I give budget guidance at the first meeting, and it stays honest all the way through, so there is no surprise when the piece is finished.
