Commissions
I am always busy making commissions, whether for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, or otherwise for special and personal gifts. I am proud to work to the highest standards, and to provide my customers with a thoroughly enjoyable experience from the first sketched idea, to it's completion and presentation.
As with all of my jewellery, every commission is unique, with it's own character due to the traditional hand working techniques that I apply.
After an initial discussion I will provide you with several sketches free of charge for you to choose your preferred design. A collection date is agreed, usually four to six weeks ahead, though I will work to a shorter timescale wherever this is possible. A 50% deposit is then paid.
Prior to the setting of any stones I will ask you to call in for a fitting of the jewellery.
Please browse through the selection of the many commissions that I have undertaken, and also see the testimonials page
These are just some of the designs which can be seen on the shop pages of the website, and all are available to order in sterling silver, 9ct and 18ct golds
