All about bespoke

 

We offer a bespoke service that is perfect for those who seek a lasting treasure that is truly unique. We work with our clients on personal commissions ranging from engagement rings and wedding rings, and everything in between.

Our bespoke pieces can also be made using inherited, heirloom stones to create a beautiful lasting connection between old and new. We pride ourselves in creating one of a kind bespoke pieces. Working together, we will bring your vision to life in our signature island aesthetic. We also offer a customisation service in which you can tailor pieces from our existing collection to make them individual to you.

The result is completely one-of-a-kind, made only for you, with its own special story and meaning. If you love our style, and are comfortable with our creative guidance then this option is the perfect choice for you. We recommend you get inspired looking through our online store, gallery and our instagram feed of previous commissions as a starting point to which direction you would like your commission to take. Contact us at hello@islewear.co.uk to chat it through, where we will ask you a few questions to get an idea of the kind of creation you will be looking for.

We can customise existing designs from our collections, adapting stone choice or precious metal type to suit your individual taste.

We can also reset sentimental heirloom jewellery. We’ll work directly with you to sensitively reimagine your heirloom jewellery within the Islewear aesthetic. Through repurposing your stones and reimagining the design we can give your unworn treasures a new lease of life. The beauty of this process is that you can retain the sentimentality of the original jewel, but in a new design that better reflects your own personality and style

Bespoke pieces are priced according to the complexity of the design, your stone and metal choice. You can get in contact with us for a quote at hello@islewear.co.uk. If you have budget in mind we will always source the best stone choices possible according to your budget, and advise you on the best metal and stone choices within your brief.

Once we’ve reached our final design we will send you your quote dependant on your choice of metal and stone choice. We require a 50% deposit up-front initially before work begins and the final 50% on completion, your new design will then either be available for collection or sent out to you.

 
 

The Process

From start to finish, customising an existing design usually takes 10 weeks, this includes stone sourcing, however if we go down the route of having a more unique stone cut specifically for you, this can be longer. Our full bespoke service process can take up to 16 weeks from start to finish, this takes into account design time, stone sourcing, the full making process and the hallmarking of your piece.

Once your commission is complete, you will be invited back to the studio to collect your commission. If you’re unable to collect the finished piece yourself, we will provide imagery and video via email and then arrange delivery of your treasure to you.
