Bespoke jewellery design refers to jewellery that is only created once, and is made especially for a client or customer. You, yourself, are designing and developing a unique, personal piece alongside our team at Manna Jewellers. From a sketch or an idea, our designers will transform the designs into CAD and then into wax either by printing via a 3D printer or handcarving. By collaborating with our customers, we are able to produce the most amazing pieces of jewellery.
Many of our customers opt for our bespoke design service over purchasing an existing piece of jewellery. This could be because they may not be able to find something that they exactly want. Which is completely understandable, as those wanting wedding and engagement rings or personalised gifts desire the perfect design for such a special occasion.
You may like something completely unique and personal to you; something that no one has ever owned or worn before. Even if the design is only a little different to other pieces you have seen, it still will still feel special as a personal commission.
The first step in bespoke design is to consult with you about how you would like your jewellery designed to fit your personal style and taste. You may have a specific idea of what you would like. Or perhaps you are still unsure about what you are looking for. Whatever the case, we are ready to assist you, as well as responding to any queries that may arise.
Once we have an understanding of your desired item, our next step would be to refine your ideas into a series of sketched designs. This will bring your vision to life, as well as giving you an opportunity to visualise and choose from the different options that are available.
Once you are happy with the sketch work, we move onto CAD modelling to virtually create your design. This significantly enhances the precision of the finished product, as well as giving you the ability to see the design in more detail. This will give you the chance to make any adjustments or changes, getting it looking exactly how you want it to look before it is made.
Depending on the complexity of the item, we would give ourselves 4-6 weeks for production. If you have a specific date in mind, please let us know and we will do our best to aim for that specified date.
When you have approved the design, we will make a wax model from the computer design. The design is then checked over again before production begins. Finally, in an intricate and delicate process, moulds are made and your jewellery is cast. Unusual jewellery styles, or simple pieces, the options are endless.
When it comes to stone setting, we do so with flawless precision, with the aim to ensure maximum display and beauty of the stone. We offer many different settings, the most popular tend to be Bezel, Claw and Channel. The metal that the stone is set in is then filed down and finished, polished, and then the inner edge near the stone is cleaned up and straightened.
Your bespoke piece of jewellery will then be ready! We recommended having your jewellery cleaned and gemstones checked every 6-12 months, and are happy to offer this service free of charge to our clients.
We are open 10am-4pm, Monday-Saturday. For custom made jewellery and bespoke made designs such as engagement rings, contact us to book a consultation on 0121 554 2727 or complete our enquiry form below. We look forward to speaking with you.
