A Guide To Buying Bespoke Rings

Bespoke jewellery design gives the client the opportunity to design a unique piece of jewellery individual to them. The partnership between the designer, client and jeweller working together results in the freedom to take features from different designs and develop their ideas which can be tailored to their budget.

Sometimes it is hard to find exactly what you are looking for in the budget that you are comfortable with but by designing a piece and having it hand made you end up with a superior product and a substantial saving on luxury brands.

The cost of the ring can be adjusted by what quality and size stones are used and also the weight of metal in the pieces. All these things can be discussed with the designer and they can advise on what is important and cost effective to achieve the desired result.

In the case of diamond rings the first step is to determine the ring design and then what shape, carat weight, colour and clarity of diamonds are required for the ring. If there is more than one solitaire diamond in the design the designer will be able to advise what size and number of diamonds are needed.

For coloured gemstones the process is similar; firstly choosing what type of stone eg sapphire, ruby, emerald etc, the shape and size and then the individual colour.

Usually the designer will draw a detailed sketch and then any adjustments can be made and a quote worked out before the jeweler starts work on the ring.

Designing and making a bespoke jewellery piece is a meaningful way to bring together all your ideas, allowing you to create your perfect ring.
