Bespoke jewellery

Abespoke piece of jewellery is truly unique to the wearer, a piece that can be cherished for a lifetime, knowing it’s one of a kind. Whether you’re looking for a bespoke wedding or engagement ring, or maybe you have another piece of jewellery in mind, going bespoke means you’ll get exactly what you want.

With bespoke jewellery, you can customise any part of the design to make it exactly how you’ve imagined. You can mix and match elements of designs you like and combine them into the ultimate design that ticks all the boxes for you. If you’ve found a piece you like but it’s not within your budget, you can tweak the design by changing the stone type, size, quantity or quality or changing the scale of the design and metal type.

Designing a piece of jewellery is more than simply coming up with a pretty design – a good jewellery designer will discuss your lifestyle with you and will inform you of the pros and cons associated with each setting style, band width and metal or stone choice to make sure you’re going to receive an end product that will last forever.

“Jewellery is very often about expression. Clothes and accessories are used to convey things about us, whether subliminally or consciously. But jewellery is even more powerful in this sense because it does not contain an obvious practical function. While a jumper will keep you warm and shoes will protect your feet, the sole function of jewellery, in my opinion, is to express. It can be an expression of who we are, of our individual style, of our loved ones and of particular memories.” says jewellery designer, Catherine Best.

“These expressions can be very powerful and sentimental. Therefore, more and more people are looking for something truly bespoke and meaningful to them, something they can relate to. They want a personal connection to the jewellery - something that no one else has. We’ve created bespoke pieces of jewellery for many people and it’s always so inspiring to hear the individual stories behind each design.”

Catherine Best also offers a redesign service, meaning you can modernise or tweak a family heirloom. “We can create bespoke jewellery from scratch, but we also offer a special redesign and remodelling service. This allows people to use the materials from any old and unworn jewellery and transform it into a new design that they’ll enjoy wearing for a long time." says Catherine.

"Our redesign service is particularly popular with jewellery that has been inherited or holds particular memories. There is invariably a great deal of sentiment behind most jewellery, especially when it has been passed down through generations. A redesign is a wonderful way to breathe new life into these pieces of jewellery and create a totally fresh work of art that still encompasses the original love that the jewellery signified. By simply telling us your story, we can create something that will bring your memories to life.” 
