BESPOKE JEWELLERY & MODERN HEIRLOOMS
Every commission I take begins with a conversation. About a person, a moment, a family, a place. About what needs to be carried forward, and what form it wants to take.
WHAT CAN BE COMMISSIONED
You might have inherited a stone from a grandmother, and want it remade into something you would actually wear. Or a wedding coming up, and want a piece designed around the two of you rather than chosen from a page. Or a milestone birthday in the family, and want a piece that carries a whole life inside it. Or a stone from a place that matters, waiting for the right form.
Every piece I make is one of one. I work most often on:
Engagement rings and wedding bands designed around the couple, not the trend
Milestone birthday and anniversary pieces
Family medallions carrying birthstones, coordinates, dates and personal symbols
Heirloom redesigns and stone resets, worked respectfully with what has been passed down
Memorial and legacy commissions
Bespoke gifts to mark a moment in a life
How we work together
First conversation
We meet, in person at the studio in Dublin, by video, or in London by arrangement. You bring the story, the stones, the moment. I listen and ask questions. There is no cost to this first conversation.
Concept
I return with a set of hand-drawn sketches and a proposed direction. We refine together until the design feels right.
Quote and design approval
Once the direction is agreed, I prepare a full quote and a CAD render for your approval. For particularly complex pieces I can also create a physical wax so you can hold the form in your hand before final commitment.
Production
Approved pieces are made by hand in fine workshops between Dublin, London and New York. I oversee every stage, from casting to setting to finish.
Delivery
Your finished piece is delivered with photographs, a certificate of authenticity, and full provenance for any stones.
Commission Details
Timeline
Six to eight weeks from design approval for most commissions. Eight to twelve weeks for more complex pieces or where stones need to be sourced.
Investment
Commissions begin from £5,000. Medallions in 18ct gold typically sit between £8,000 and £15,000 depending on scale and stones. Larger heirloom pieces and complex commissions run to £30,000 and above. Every piece is quoted individually, based on materials, design complexity, and time.A 50% deposit is due once the final design and CAD are approved. The balance is due on completion, before delivery.
Beginning a commission
The best first step is a short conversation. Tell me about the piece you are imagining, or the moment it will mark, and I will come back to you within a few days to arrange the first meeting.
A PERSONAL MEDALLION FOR AN 80TH BIRTHDAY
Created for an 80th birthday, this medallion was designed around one woman’s life, family and story.
Eight sections mark eight decades. Eighty ridges around the edge represent each year. Family birthstones surround the piece, with her own birthstone placed at the centre. Each symbol was chosen to hold a memory, place, person or milestone from her life.
Alongside the medallion, a small set of story cards was created to explain the symbols, stones and details woven into the design, so the meaning could be kept with the piece.
