Commissions

I love working on bespoke commissions.  They feel like a true collaboration where vision and design come together to create something wonderful, that would never have existed without your involvement.

Step 1 - Design

To start the commission process, simply send me an email with your idea, including:

Type: earrings, a necklace or brooch?

Scale: a statement piece or something more subtle?

Metals: would you like gold, silver, niobium or mixed metals?

Colour: if including niobium, what types of colours - blues, purples, greens?

Gemstones or pearls: would you like to include gemstones or pearls?  If gemstones, what types of gemstone or colours.  Gemstones can also be included in the form of gemstone beads.  Pearls can be cream, pale pink, or peacock hues or a mix.  They can be symmetrical or organic.

Reference images: if your idea is based on an piece of my jewellery that you have seen and would like customised, please include a screen shot of the design.  Commissions must of course be in keeping with my design style.

Timeframe: are you working to a specific deadline such as a birthday?  Depending on the  complexity of the item, a commission may take 4 - 8 weeks to design, source, make and hallmark.

Budget: a ball park figure is very useful.  Please note, commissions start at £250.

Step 2 - Quotation

I will send you a commission form which captures all of the details of the commission.  Once you are happy to proceed, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total fee will be become payable.  Once received, I will commence the sourcing and making process, and  it will not be possible to cancel your order.

The remaining balance will be due in full, once the item is ready, prior to collection or delivery.

Step 3 - Enjoy

Bespoke commissions take between 4 - 8 weeks depending on the complexity of the design.  Once it is completed it will either be hand delivered or posted special delivery guaranteed depending on your preference and location. 

Now it is time for you to enjoy your new item of jewellery!
