Producing a bespoke, handmade piece of jewellery for a gift is an opportunity to create something completely unique and personal – whether you are looking for a one-off jewellery commission for yourself, to celebrate a memorable birthday or anniversary, for a Christmas present or Christening gift, or as a wedding or engagement ring.
I enjoy working to a design brief and budget in my jewellery Atelier in The Pantiles, Royal Tunbridge Wells. I can advise on metals, stones, finishes and textures or can remodel and repair
existing pieces of jewellery.

HOW DO I COMMISSION A PIECE OF JEWELLERY?
I’ve put together a quick guide on how to commission a piece of bespoke jewellery here.
You can also contact me here if you have an idea for a piece of jewellery you’d like to commission or if there’s special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, Christening or wedding that you’d like to create a unique gift for.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
Commissions usually take six to eight weeks but if you have a tighter deadline then do still get in touch and I will try my best to meet it.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
Typically the price for a one-off commissioned piece of jewellery is more than 80% higher than the prices of my main collection. Prices start at £200 for a pair of sterling silver stud earrings. It’s useful to have a price in mind and I will try to accommodate any budget.
Yes! I really enjoy re-using old precious and semi-precious stones and metal and love the sense of history and significance they add to a piece. I can re-use most old precious and semi-precious stones and I can melt down pure gold, sterling silver and platinum to make something new. Don’t worry if you don’t know what something is made from – I can take a look at this as part of the commissioning process.
Yes! I make bespoke engagement rings and wedding rings but if you already have an engagement ring or wedding band I can make something unique and special to work with the existing design. You can find out more about my wedding jewellery here.
