The Bespoke Experience
From unique natural gemstones to storytelling flourishes, our Bespoke jewellery captures the essence of your individuality.
The Bespoke Experience begins with an initial conversation over the phone, email or WhatsApp. This helps us establish your inspiration, ideas and budget and allows the team to answer any initial questions ahead of scheduling a bespoke consultation.
"Jewellery represents such special moments in our lives – stories of friendship, celebration and true love that can be passed down generations and treasured forever."

Our Process
The Bespoke Journey
Swipe ⟶
1.
Bespoke Consultation
After our initial conversation you're invited to visit the showroom for a bespoke consultation. Our team will help you identify materials and present a personalised selection of natural gemstones for you to choose from.
If you can't visit us in person, the whole process can be done virtually.
2.
Sketches & Design
Following on from the consultation, our team 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 crafting your Bespoke jewellery.
This process normally takes 2 - 3 weeks.
3.
Handcrafted for You
Once you’ve approved the cost and signed off on your chosen design, your Bespoke jewellery will be handcrafted by our master jewellers in our workshop in Scotland.
The process takes 4 - 6 weeks from confirmation to completion (depending on the complexity of design).
Shhh, it's a secret...
Don't worry, we can communicate entirely over email or WhatsApp to help keep it that way.

Handcrafted
in Scotland

The Devil's
in the Details
To reveal the true quality of craftsmanship you should always look at the back of the jewellery. Not only is their beauty to be found in the architecture of the piece, it’s also an opportunity to sneak in some unique personal touches, beautiful engraving or even a cheeky hidden gemstone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the bespoke process take?
Please allow 12 weeks for the whole process starting from our fist in-person meeting.
What's the difference between Custom and Bespoke?
Our Custom service is for clients who love our existing designs, but would like to customise them and ad personal touches. Our core collection of Signature Style engagement rings and wedding rings are all customisable and perfect if you want something personalised without having to go full bespoke. These designs are a permanent part of our collection so we can create them at a slightly quicker turnaround than if you were to start from scratch and go full bespoke.
Our Bespoke service is for clients who would like to create a design that doesn’t already exist. Commissioning bespoke means designing and making something completely new. This premium service will naturally take longer, but at the end of it you will have a completely one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery crafted to your exact requirements.
If you're not sure which service is right for you our team is happy to help. Contact the showroom on 0131 526 3279 or email ellen@patiencejewellery.com for some friendly and professional advice.
