Bespoke Jewellery Design

What could be more exciting than commissioning your own unique and personal piece of jewellery specially crafted to your design?

Our Bespoke Design Service

Perhaps you already know what style of design you want or maybe are in need of inspiration, either way we are here to help you turn your ideas into a beautiful piece of jewellery.
You can start from scratch or alternatively you may have an existing piece of jewellery you no longer wear that we can remodel. By redesigning it you can enjoy wearing a unique piece that still retains its very own special meaning. We have over many years worked on a wide range of bespoke commissions so our experienced and friendly team will guide you through the process.

The Design Process

Do you have an idea for a piece of jewellery that you would like to create? We can help you to visualize your dream design through sketches, CAD, 3D resin or our melt and make service.

Step 1

Consultation

Your journey begins with a warm, friendly conversation with one of our expert in-store designers. During this consultation, we’ll explore your vision for your bespoke jewellery piece, discuss your ideas, preferred timeline, and the budget you’re aiming for. This is also the perfect time to bring in any heritage jewellery you may wish to incorporate into the design.

Step 2

Design

Following our initial conversation, we’ll develop a detailed brief along with hand-drawn concept sketches for you to visualise. We will provide a tailored quotation based on your chosen design and your preferred metal & choice of selected gemstones.

Step 3

3D Prototype

We will discuss and explain all aspects of your design, and should you decide to proceed, we will take a small deposit & continue onto the Computer Aided Design (CAD) stage. If it's helpful, once the CAD design is complete, we can also create a 3D wax model to help you visualise the design.

Step 4

Finished Product

Once you're completely happy with your designs, will we proceed with making your jewellery. Your new bespoke piece of jewellery will be under way with our workshop and will typically take approximately six weeks once started.

Edit* Just had another absolutely amazing experience with AA Thornton. I went through their bespoke process for an engagement ring and I am over the moon with the result and was very happy with the process, service and attention to detail. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Sally and all the team at A A Thorntons are absolutely fabulous - professional yet friendly !
I recently had a ring set redesigned and they were so helpful, keeping me updated every step of the way so that I had input into the settings.
I would definitely recommend them for this type of work and also for the wonderful range of items, jewellery and gifts, that they have in store.
Sally - I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and the utterly beautiful result.
