PRIVATE CLIENTS
I provide a range of jewellery services including private commission design, jewellery adaptation and gemstone acquisition.
Through my extensive network of suppliers and contacts, I can source the perfect item of jewellery or help you design a completely unique piece. It might be a bespoke piece handmade by a London goldsmith using stones specially sourced internationally or a custom design produced in Europe to classical standards. The process of creating a piece of jewellery involves understanding what each customer needs and desires, and guiding them along every step of the journey. My mission is to help discover the best way to tell the story of a piece of jewellery. And the majority of these bespoke pieces are created for a special moment in someone’s life.
