How We Create Custom Made Jewellery
At Hunters Fine Jewellery, I take your ideas and turn them into custom jewellery. Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind statement ring, a custom-made gold pendant, or bespoke jewellery, I am here to make your vision a reality, step by step. As a handmade jewellery creator in Scotland, I specialise in crafting pieces that reflect your personal style, ensuring that every detail meets your expectations.
All details are discussed upfront:
- Design: Gold type (9ct, 18ct), colour (yellow, white, rose), finish (polished or matte)
- Gemstone options: Lab-grown or natural stones
- Settings: Claw, bezel, or other custom preferences
The Custom Design Process
We start by discussing your ideas, preferences, and all design details. This includes the type of gold, such as 9ct or 18ct, and the colour of gold—yellow, white, or rose.
We'll also consider the finish, whether polished or matte, as well as gemstone options, including preferences for size and type, and whether to include gemstones at all.
Additionally, we’ll go over the different types of settings, such as claw, bezel, or others, to create a design that perfectly suits your vision
Design Development
Send me your sketches (don't worry about drawing skills—they are just a starting point). From there, I refine the design, and we can discuss any changes or alternative ideas until we are both satisfied. Once finalised, I create the professional drawings.
3D Modelling
Using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technology, we create a detailed 3D model of your jewellery. This allows us to visualise every detail and make adjustments before crafting.
Crafting
My skilled artisan makers carefully bring your design to life, ensuring quality and precision at every step.
Hallmarking
All jewellery is hallmarked by the British Assay Office to guarantee authenticity and meet all legal standards for precious metals.
