Commissioning Guide

Diana specialises in creating bespoke jewellery that is designed and crafted especially for you. The commissioning process gives you the opportunity to be fully involved in the creation of a totally unique piece.

An item of commissioned jewellery also represents excellent value for money when compared to its mass-produced high-street counterpart.

Everything can be tailored to your requirements, whether your preferred bullion is platinum, yellow, white, red or green gold, and whatever your choice of gems - their colour, shape and size. We will also work to your budget.

The Process

It is of upmost importance that your commissioned jewellery reflects your personality and character and so the more information you share during the commissioning process, the better equipped Diana will be to create a perfect set of designs.

After an initial consultation and armed with your requirements in mind, Diana will sketch a selection of designs. These designs will form the basis of subsequent discussions; some may be discarded, others, with your feedback we will evolve into your chosen design.

Diana will source the gems and bullion for your piece. She uses only conflict free diamonds and all gems are sourced from London based dealers or well-known contacts abroad. They are of excellent quality and represent exceptional value for money. All bullion is obtained from reputable suppliers based in London.

The final piece will then be created according to your chosen design. Once assembled and polished the jewellery will be hallmarked.  Your finished piece of jewellery will always be accompanied be a valuation certificate for insurance purposes.

Price Guide

The consultation and the creation of a selection of detailed designs (minimum three to a maximum of six) is provided for a fee of £200.00 to £800.00 depending on the complexity of the piece.  This is deductible from the final cost of your commission if you chose to go ahead with it.

When commissioning bespoke jewellery, and deciding on a design choice, the amount and quality of materials used will have an impact on the cost of your commission. Therefore, as we work through the design and sourcing process your budget requirements will always be considered and discussed with you. We will give you an accurate estimate of the cost of your piece before we start creating it for you. We ask for a 50% deposit ahead of the work commencing.
