Bespoke Designs

No matter what your vision is, one thing is certain - there’s just something so special and exciting about bespoke pieces. Our most memorable pieces have been those that we’ve worked hand-in-hand with customers to create.

We love being part of your story and creating a piece of jewellery to last a lifetime.

  1. Make your dream piece a reality

    With Kate and Kole’s bespoke pieces, we’ll take you through the process of making your dream piece a reality.

    We love helping clients create unique pieces that they will adore for a lifetime. With our guidance every step of the way, there’s no reason to be overwhelmed.

    Often when a client has an idea in mind, they come to us with an image or sketch that we will use as a jumping off point.

    Even something as simple as a piece of jewellery or a particular stone that a client wants to use can begin the creative process of creating a new bespoke piece.

    For customers who have no idea where to begin, we can guide you through a few leading questions. You do the fun of imagining it, and we’ll do the work to bring your jewellery to life.

  1. Your Consultation

    During your consultation we will work with you to cover the
    below pillars of your piece.

    Material: The material choice is important especially if your jewellery is being made to match to another piece. We offer Silver, 9ct Yellow & Rose Gold, 18ct Yellow, Rose and White Gold and Platinum.

    Stones: We offer a wide range of lab grown diamonds in different cuts and clarities. We use a minimum H/I VS2.

    Cost: Before we begin, have an idea of your budget. We will consider ways to craft a piece that will fit your vision and keep your budget in check.

    Timeframe: If you have a super tight turn around we need to know this up front. It will save both parties a lot of time and heartache if we can determine a delivery window and any important dates. You can read more about our standard production time and priority service here.

    Special touches: Some of the easiest ways to personalise your bespoke piece include engraving, birthstones, band shape, adding a hidden halo or shoulder stones. These are unique and sentimental touches you can add onto your bespoke piece.

  3. Initial Design & Estimate

    Though all of this may sound like a lot at first, we are with you every step of the way. After we have created the brief, we will come back to you with an initial design and estimate.

    The initial design will include front and top views and any particular design details. If being designed as a set, the matching piece will also be provided. This is the time to give feedback and to start discussing details. If you have a type of stone in mind we will start sourcing stones.

    As a brand, we have chosen to work exclusively with lab-grown diamonds in all of our jewellery pieces. Sourcing stones that are grown using this advanced technological method allows us to be 100% certain that they are conflict free and environmentally conscious, all while being visually indistinguishable from mined diamonds. All our diamonds come paired with GIA or IGI certification, and have been carefully selected from one of three industry leading growers - located in New York, Washington and Antwerp.

    Once the stone has been purchased and your design has been finalised, we start the making process. Some pieces are made entirely from hand, others use 3D technology to help craft your bespoke piece.

    We are unable to recycle gold from previous pieces but we offer a gold buy back program. This program allows you to recycle old gold for us to sell back back to our refiner. The price of gold varies from day to day, and we can provide you with a quote at the time of your appointment. We will weigh the gold in front of you, and you then sign a release form if you decide to go ahead with the buy back.

    Along the way, there will be multiple intervals for discussion, so that everyone can rest easy knowing that your dream jewellery is on the right path to becoming exactly the piece you want. We will keep you updated with photos, sketches, 3D renders and stone options, and even videos.

    But where do we begin?

    Because we make almost all of our pieces in our Newcastle studio, customisations are nice and easy and something that we adore doing.

    To make an overwhelming process seem a little easier, we break it down into fairly simple steps. The first step is to get in touch and we have a few different options for you to do this.
