We offer the full range of precious metals — platinum, 18ct gold in yellow, white, and rose — and can source diamonds and coloured gemstones to your specification. We work with both natural and lab-grown diamonds, and will advise honestly on the differences. For engagement rings, we produce a detailed 3D rendering before any metal is cut, so you can see exactly what it will look like before it is made.

 

How It Works: 1. Free consultation — no pressure, no obligation. Come to the studio and sit with Chris. Bring any references you have. 2. Design and 3D rendering — we produce a rendered design for your approval and refine it until it is right. 3. Handmade in our Dorset workshop — once you approve the design, we make it here. Most engagement ring commissions take four to six weeks. 4. Collect in person — we will size it correctly and make sure it is exactly what you envisioned.

 

Chris has over 30 years of experience as a designer and goldsmith and is a qualified diamond specialist and gemologist. The advice you receive on stones is expert, honest, and independent — not driven by what happens to be in stock. We do not rush it. We do not cut corners. We will not let you leave with a ring you are not completely certain about.

 

Bespoke does not always mean more expensive than a high-street ring of comparable quality. Because we work directly — no middlemen, no retail markup — you often get more for your money.
