Modern Heirlooms: Bespoke Jewellery and Custom Rings Handmade in the UK
From bespoke engagement rings and birthday treasures, to transforming old family jewellery into gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gems — my custom and upcycling jewellery service brings your vision to life.
If you’re dreaming of a modern heirloom that pairs unconventional ring shapes, recycled metals, glitzy organic forms, and lush, dreamy gemstones, I may just be the perfect jeweller for you. Each piece I create is designed to be worn, loved, and cherished forever.
Why Choose Custom Jewellery?
There are countless reasons to commission bespoke jewellery. Perhaps you’re seeking a romantic engagement ring that tells your unique love story (see my blog post ‘Alternative Ring Shapes for Modern Brides’), celebrating a big birthday ('Life Milestones Worth Celebrating with Custom Jewellery'), or marking an anniversary. Maybe you’d like to honour yourself with a self-love gem — a reminder of where you’ve been and where you’re going next.
Custom handmade jewellery also allows you to choose sustainability. I hand make every piece using recycled silver or gold and gemstones that are either ethically sourced or thoughtfully reused (‘What Is Sustainable Jewellery? Ethical, Eco-Friendly & Handmade Alternatives to Fast Fashion’). By blending ancient, hands-on techniques with modern design, I create jewellery that is both durable and deeply meaningful.

Why Work With Me: Fairytale Jewels to Treasure Forever
Choosing a jeweller to bring your vision to life is an important decision. As a self-taught jewellery artist, I bring an outsider’s perspective to the industry. My designs are led by artistry and inspired by the whimsical and fantastical. I embrace gemstones with quirks, inclusions, and unexpected colours — perfectly imperfect treasures that create jewels with a touch of fairytale magic.

The Custom Jewellery Design Process
Step 1 – Share Your Dream
Fill in my Custom Jewellery Enquiry Form with your ideas, gemstone and metal preferences, inspiration pictures, and budget. I’ll then set up a complimentary 20-minute virtual chat to see if we’re a good fit.
Step 2 – Design & Collaboration
This is where the magic begins. I’ll sketch ideas inspired by our conversation and send them to you, refining until we find the design that feels just right.
Step 3 – Selecting Your Materials
We’ll explore gemstone treasures together, choosing colours and cuts to suit your style and budget. Once we land on the final design, I’ll provide a personalized quote.
Step 4 – Handmaking Your Jewellery
I’ll hand make your jewel in recycled silver or gold, carefully setting your chosen gemstones using time-honoured techniques.
Step 5 – Delivery
The best part — your finished piece, beautifully packaged, posted with tracking and ready to treasure forever.
Payment & Deposits
After you have completed my custom jewellery enquiry form, I offer a complimentary 20-minute virtual appointment to align on vision and budget.
- A non-refundable design deposit is taken before sketches and design development begin.
- Once the design is approved, a 50% installment is due before production.
- The final balance is payable on completion, before delivery.
This way, you’ll always know exactly what to expect — no surprises, just clear steps towards your dream jewellery.
