I would love to hear from you if you would like a special piece of jewellery designed and made just for you or a loved one. It's always a privilege to produce something extra special for you.
You are very welcome to send me your rough sketchy ideas or a design you have in mind click here to start the discussion. Vanessa will ask you a series of questions to help gauge an idea of what you would like making.
What is the process?
After the initial consultation where your idea is discussed, Vanessa will design your piece of jewellery and quote you for the design, for this there is a design fee from £50 depending on complexity of the design. At this stage you will see a drawing of what your design will look like and a quote. Once you agree to the design you will be required to pay your deposit (nonrefunadable) and work on your jewellery will begin, the remaining balance will be payable on completion.
All jewellery will be hallmarked at Birmingham Assay Office where Vanessa is registered.
Most custom orders take approximately 6-8 weeks, but please do get in contact if you need something faster.
