Our Bespoke Jewellery Process Explained

There’s nothing more sentimental than jewellery made just for you or someone you love. Our bespoke service transforms your ideas into stunning, handcrafted pieces to treasure for a lifetime. We can help you to mark a milestone, honour a memory or simply create something one-of-a-kind.

In this guide, we take you through our bespoke jewellery process and how we can craft a design that brings your ideas to life.

What is bespoke jewellery?

Bespoke jewellery is made to match your vision, making it completely unique. At Aleks Jewellers, we take the time to understand your story and your style to craft something that feels truly personal..

We’ve helped clients create a special piece for a proposal, and even made a keepsake necklace from a grandmother’s favourite bracelet. Whatever your idea, we bring it to life with care and craftsmanship.

Your made-to-order journey

At Aleks Jewellers, we’re here to make your experience as special as the piece itself. We’ll work with you to craft an exceptional result.

Step 1: Personal consultation

Every bespoke piece starts with a conversation. In your own private consultation, the team at Aleks Jewellers can explore your ideas however they come; a sketch, photograph, or simply a story all offer a good starting point. We’ll talk about your style, preferred stones, 

Step 2: Sketches and CAD design

Once we’ve reviewed your ideas, we’ll sketch the design. If you’d like to see it in more detail, we can also create a CAD version as an optional extra. This shows your piece from every angle, helping you to picture the final result. 

Step 3: Wax model

For more intricate pieces such as rings, we offer a wax model service. You’ll be able to try the piece on and get a feel for the size and proportions. This is especially helpful for engagement rings, as it gives you the chance to make any final changes before we begin crafting.

Step 4: Crafting your jewellery

Once you’re happy with the design, our expert jewellers will then bring your design to life, using traditional techniques and careful craftsmanship. 

Step 5: The final reveal

Your finished piece is returned to the store, ready for collection. Whether you’re wearing it yourself or gifting it to a loved one, your bespoke jewellery is ready to be treasured.

Bespoke engagement ring

A bespoke ring is made for one person only. It isn’t chosen from a display, and no one else will ever have the same one. It’s shaped around your ideas, your story and the person you’re giving it to.

You can choose every detail, from the stone and metal to the shape and setting. You might want to include something meaningful, like a birthstone or a design that links to a shared memory. We also offer lab-grown diamonds, which come in a range of colours and styles, giving you more freedom to personalise.

We’ve helped people create rings inspired by a place, a piece of family jewellery or simply a feeling they wanted to capture. Whatever you have in mind, we’ll work with you to create something that couldn’t belong to anyone else.
