Process
A private commission develops through a series of considered decisions, from the first conversation to the finished piece.
Initial Consultation
We discuss your ideas, the occasion, preferences and intended budget.
Material and Gemstone Selection
Gemstones and metals are considered for their appearance, suitability and the requirements of the design.
Design Development
Sketches and design details help refine proportions, setting and personal elements.
Design Sign-Off
The design, materials and agreed details are reviewed before production proceeds.
Crafting the Piece
Making, setting and finishing bring the approved design into its final form.
-
The selected metal and other materials are prepared for the approved design.
-
Where appropriate, a wax model helps review shape, proportions and construction before casting.
-
For designs that require casting, the model is used to form the metal components.
-
The individual components are fitted and assembled for the setting and finishing stages.
-
Each gemstone is set using a method suited to the stone and the approved design.
-
Agreed engraving and decorative details are added where they form part of the commission.

Surfaces are refined and finished to achieve the agreed texture and appearance.
