This is a perfect example of how we can help you to create a personal, precious one-off piece of jewellery to wear with just some loose gemstones and your vision.
Here Katie from our Lewes showroom talks about a commission from one of her customers:
"I recently saw one of my best customers; they have a real passion for gemstones and travelling. They frequently go on holidays all over the world to exotic countries and like to purchase gemstones on their travels as mementos.
I had the opportunity to design a bespoke piece of jewellery for them using some of their gemstones that they had purchased.
I discussed with them what piece of jewellery she would like and she said a brooch. She showed me three loose gemstones - two smoky quartz and one white topaz. I asked her if she had any ideas of what she envisaged the brooch to look like and she said no.
Between myself and the craftsman we came up with 4 hand sketched designs. I invited my customers back in store and she chose the design that she loved. I explained that it would take about 4 weeks to be created; my customer was incredibly excited and couldn't wait to see the finished brooch.
Our craftsman created an incredible unique one-off design; the brooch was set in 18ct white gold so it really showed off the wonderful gemstones.
My customer was over the moon with the final piece."
