Commissioning a piece of bespoke, handcrafted jewellery with KAB is not just a process; it's a delightful experience that results in a one-of-a-kind jewel created specifically for you. From the initial consultation to the final unveiling, we ensure that every detail is tailored to your vision, making the final piece truly special.
Bespoke Jewellery Design Process
Step 1: Your journey begins with a consultation, which can be conducted via Skype or in person. During this meeting, we will discuss the entire process while outlining your inspirations, budget, preferred stones, timeline, and design direction.
Step 2: The design process commences! I will source a selection of high-quality, ethically sourced precious or semi-precious gemstones, as well as certified diamonds, tailored to your design dreams. Following this, I will create a series of design sketches. A £100 gem sourcing fee is applied for this service, which will be deducted from your final bespoke fee.
Step 3: Once the design is approved, you will receive a quote and an estimated completion date, along with an invoice for the first 50% payment. The remaining balance is required upon collection of your bespoke treasure.
Step 4: I will then begin crafting your treasure in my London workshop, utilizing fine craftsmanship that blends traditional gold and silversmithing techniques.
How Much Does It Cost?
Bespoke jewellery commissions are tailored to fit your budget, with custom designs starting from £2,000. Once we finalise the design, a 50% part payment of the total amount is required before production can commence. Please note that at this stage, you are committed to your purchase, and the order cannot be canceled.
The remaining balance must be paid in full before you can collect or have the order dispatched. This structured payment process ensures that each piece is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail.
How Long Will It Take?
Normally the process takes from 4 – 8 weeks from consultation to completion, depending on the complexity of your design.
