How to Prepare for a Bespoke Jewellery Consultation?

If you are planning to invest in bespoke jewellery, you must first invest your time in putting some thoughts and ideas as to how you want the piece to be designed even before your approach your jeweller. 

Apparently you might have thought of some design in your mind that you want out of the piece and your jeweller of course can guide through the process of design and help you get your dream become real. However a little groundwork will really help the process run smoothly when you first visit your jeweller.

Consider these aspects before visiting your jeweller:

Budget

Get in touch with different jewellers and conduct some research before you take the plunge into your bespoke jewellery journey. If you have decided your budget and know how much you wish to spend on your jewellery, this will give your jeweller a rough idea and can work according to your budget. Or at least can give you a practical expectation from the inception of how much will it cost to make the piece.

Collect some ideas

You might have a rough idea of what you want the piece to look like and definitely know what type of jewellery you would like to have made like a necklace, earrings or ring. Even if you are very definite about the idea in your mind, it’s always good to collect some real examples of designs and ideas that you like. Take sketches or photographs from magazines, newspapers or even online that you like and show it to your jeweller, they can use them in the jewellery design process. 

Allow enough time

Be mindful of the fact that it takes some time to create bespoke jewellery. Especially an engagement ring, for example it takes around to 2-3 week for the design to complete including expiation. Besides this it may take up to 10 weeks for the manufacturing part, based on what you want to be created. 

If you are planning to propose or gift for a specific event and know the date, speak to your jeweller and get an idea of the time they’ll need to complete the piece so that you can get if before the date.
