How does our Bespoke Jewellery Design Service work?

Start Your Bespoke Jewellery Journey

with a relaxed, no-obligation consultation at your preferred Steensons store. Whether you’re looking to design your own jewellery or capsulate your love in a bespoke engagement ring, our friendly team is here to guide you in creating one-of-a-kind pieces that capture your style.

Design Proposal & Cost Estimate

After the initial meeting, we’ll provide an estimated cost and share any technical recommendations from our goldsmiths, so you know exactly what goes into crafting your custom engagement ring or unique bespoke jewellery. This transparent approach keeps you informed at every step.

Gemstone Selection

For bespoke engagement rings and other bespoke jewellery, we offer an in-store consultation to view a selection of gemstones and metals. Choose from diamonds, sapphires, or other natural gemstones in yellow, rose, or white gold, platinum, or silver. Ethical options like Fairtrade gold and Ecosilver are also available, allowing you to align your piece with your values.

Visualize Your Custom Jewellery Design

To bring your concept to life, we use advanced CAD software to create a digital bespoke design. For most commissions, we also provide a wax model to ensure every detail of your custom jewellery piece meets your expectations before crafting begins.

Handcrafted in Our Glenarm Workshop

Once you approve the design, our skilled goldsmiths handcraft your unique bespoke engagement ring or bespoke jewellery in our Glenarm workshop, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology for exceptional quality and design. Finally your bespoke jewellery is carefully inspected, polished, and prepared for you to treasure for years to come.

FAQ’s

How long does it take?

A new piece has a number of different stages to go through in manufacturing, some faster than others, but in most cases a bespoke order will take approximately 10 weeks. If you have a specific deadline let your design consultant know during your initial consultation.

How much does it cost?

This depends on the metals, stones and design time involved in the piece. We have bespoke made jewellery for many different budgets. Silver pieces average from £200 - £1000, whereas gold and platinum pieces tend to start around £700 upwards, but we always provide a free estimate before any manufacturing starts.

Can I control the budget?

Of course. That's the beauty of a bespoke piece, you can control everything. If you have a specific budget in mind, let your consultant know as it helps them when showing you materials and gemstones to suit your budget. We price design time into our estimates. However if the design is changed a lot over a number of consultations your consultant will make you aware if you are adding any further design cost to your commission.

I’m not very good at visualising, is a bespoke piece suitable for me?

Don’t worry, we are very experienced at helping you jump this hurdle. Once we have an understanding of your idea and have given an estimate, images of the design from different angles can be created. If the jewellery is to be crafted using lost wax casting, then you can view the wax model before casting into metal. Although fragile, this really helps understand how the finished piece will look.

Will you copy a design?

We are designers first and foremost. We have a style which is recognisably Steensons. Its what our customers love and visit us for. Visuals of other designs can help our design consultants understand your style, so feel free to bring some, however we do not copy other designers work or style. No offence is meant by a refusal.
