How do we start the process?
The bespoke journey begins with an initial conversation over the phone or via email to establish your inspiration, ideas and budget. We can then arrange a private consultation with Moira for a time that suits you.
Bespoke prices start from £2,500.
Step 1
-
Private Consultation with Moira
After our initial conversation you are invited to visit the showroom for a complimentary consultation where Moira will help you identify materials and present an assortment of the finest gemstones for you to choose from.
If you’re unable to visit the showroom, Moira is happy to work with you over the phone and by email or Skype.
Step 2
-
Bringing your ideas to life
Following on from the consultation, Moira carefully considers your inspiration and intentions and uses a combination of traditional drawing and Computer Aided Design to provide visuals of your design. The design can then be fine tuned and even made in wax to make sure you’re completely happy before we begin making your bespoke jewellery.
This process normally takes 2 - 3 weeks.
Step 3
-
Making your bespoke jewellery
Once you’ve approved the cost and signed off the design, your bespoke jewellery will be handmade by our master jeweller in our workshop in Scotland. Exceptional craftsmanship is at the heart of what we do. Using modern techniques and traditional skills we will create a truly one-off piece that will last a lifetime and beyond.
The process takes 4 - 6 weeks from confirmation to completion (depending on complexity of design).
Step 4

Presentation
Once your jewellery has been beautifully finished and thoroughly checked, it will be presented in our luxurious packaging along with the original drawings, ready for you to collect in person, or for us to securely ship to you.
FAQs
