BESPOKE DESIGN

Engagement Ring & Jewellery Design

The bespoke design service is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a bespoke, handmade engagement ring or piece of jewellery.

Heirloom Re-Design

If you've inherited an heirloom that doesn’t suit your style, or own jewellery with sentimental value that no longer feels wearable, I can help you reimagine it. Through thoughtful redesign, I transform existing pieces into something new and beautiful.

Repair, Resize & Refresh

My comprehensive jewellery services cover resizing for a perfect fit, refreshing to maintain brilliance, and expert repairs for restoring fine pieces. From resizing rings to rejuvenating shine and repairing snapped chains, I will ensure that your jewellery remains beautiful and wearable.

THE DESIGN PROCESS

CONSULTATION

The process begins with an initial consultation, either over the phone or in person. During this consultation, we will discuss a variety of design ideas that fit your budget. Depending on the complexity of the design, I will be able to provide an estimated timeline. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will be happy to offer advice when needed.

To begin the design process, please kindly drop me a message or email me at beth@bethdawson.com

GEMSTONE SELECTION

Each client receives a personalised selection of diamonds or gemstones to choose from, carefully curated to match their vision. I handpick only the finest quality stones, sourced from our trusted suppliers in Birmingham and London.

After I have presented the gemstones, I will assist you in choosing the right stones for your piece. I dedicate as much time as needed to discussing the specifications of each diamond and gemstone and the various value and quality aspects associated with them, as I know how important it is to find the perfect stone.

DESIGN

Once we have selected the main gemstone, I will begin modelling the engagement ring or piece of jewellery. At this stage I will share numerous design sketches and digital renderings, working closely with you to refine the design until it is just right. If desired, we can also create a resin model of the piece.

Once the final design is agreed, I will provide you with a final quote. After confirming all the details, you will receive an invoice for a 50% deposit. We will then begin the work of casting, polishing, and setting the gemstone, with each stage of the process taking place in one of our British-based workshops.

COMPLETION

Following casting, gemstone setting and final polishing, the ring will be checked over and I will contact you to arrange shipping or collection. At this time, the final invoice will be sent for payment.
