Inspiration & Collaboration
The Bespoke Experience begins with a conversation.
We start by listening, hearing your story, exploring your style and outlining your inspiration, ideas and budget.
Together, we shape the early direction of your design.
If you can't visit us in person, we’re always happy to guide you virtually.
Natural Gemstones
Natural gemstones are ancient, rare and incredibly precious. As part of your bespoke experience, Moira curates a selection of responsibly sourced stones for you to explore, each chosen for its beauty and character.
Many clients discover gems they’ve never seen before, often finding the perfect stone in the most unexpected place.
Please note, we work exclusively with natural gemstones and do not use lab-created stones.
Hand-Drawn Designs
After your initial consultation, Moira translates your ideas into hand-drawn sketches, capturing the essence of your design and exploring how each detail can be refined.
Her drawings bring clarity to the vision, allowing the piece to take shape naturally around the gemstones.
3D Models & Wax Prints
Once you're happy with the design, Moira’s drawings are transformed into precise 3D models. A wax print can also be created so you can feel the proportions of the piece in your hands before it's made.
When everything feels perfect and true to your vision, we move into the making stage, where your bespoke jewellery is crafted in the workshop.
Handcrafted in Scotland
After the final design is approved, your bespoke jewellery will be handcrafted by our master jewellers in our workshop in Scotland.
When it’s ready, we welcome you to the showroom for the final reveal; a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship up close and experience your piece for the first time.
