The Bespoke Experience

"It’s a privilege to play a small part in the most meaningful moments of people’s lives; translating stories of love, friendship, and even heartache into something tangible and beautiful that can be treasured forever.” 

Inspired by You

A bespoke commission is a considered, personal experience; each piece begins with a conversation and develops over time into something entirely its own.

If you’d like to work with Moira and the team to create a piece that feels unmistakably yours, a design consultation is the best place to begin.


Bespoke commissions typically begin around £10,000 with a minimum of £8,000.

The Bespoke Journey

Whether you arrive with an idea or simply a sense of what feels right, each commission develops through a series of considered stages.

Inspiration & Collaboration

The first stage is simply a conversation; understanding what matters and allowing space for ideas to emerge. Together, we shape the early direction of your design around what feels right.

If you can't visit us in person, we’re 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 character of the gemstones.

Form & Proportion

Moira’s drawings are translated into a 3D model, allowing the proportions to be refined before making. A wax version can also be created, giving you a sense of scale and balance in the hand.


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

When your final design is approved, your bespoke jewellery is handcrafted in Scotland.

Each piece is hallmarked in Edinburgh and bears the traditional Edinburgh Castle mark, which has been a symbol of quality and provenance for centuries.
