Bespoke jewellery design is an art form that allows for the creation of uniquely personalised pieces, as it can capture moments, memories, and emotions. It’s a celebration of personal milestones, a physical manifestation of cherished relationships, or simply an expression of one’s aesthetic preferences. This jewellery doesn’t just compliment the body; it speaks to the soul, making it more meaningful than any purchased piece.
The journey of creating a bespoke engagement ring or jewellery piece begins with a conversation and sharing ideas between the client and us here at Alicia J Diamonds. This collaboration is intimate and detailed, considering everything from the choice of precious metals to the selection of gemstones, each element echoing the wearer’s preferences and life stories.
As the design takes shape, it becomes more than just a sketch on paper. It evolves into a tangible symbol of the wearer’s individuality. Each curve, angle, and setting is thoughtfully executed, ensuring that the final piece is visually stunning and resonates with the wearer.

To ensure a productive bespoke jewellery consultation, it’s useful to come prepared with a clear idea of your preferred style and design elements.
Bringing along pictures or sketches of designs you admire can greatly assist in explaining your vision. Reflect on the choice of metals and stones you wish to include in your piece, be it solid gold, rose gold, or other materials. It’s also important to have a realistic understanding of your budget and any minimum spend requirements. Finally, we’d recommend considering the significance of the jewellery, whether it’s crafted for a special occasion or intended for everyday wear, as this will guide the design process.
The bespoke jewellery consultation process is a collaborative and creative journey. It begins with a discussion, often over a video call or in-person meeting, where ideas, preferences, and inspirations are shared. We may present existing designs for inspiration, but our focus is on crafting a final design that reflects your vision.

We've answered some of the most frequently asked questions about bespoke pieces below:
Custom-made jewellery and bespoke jewellery are terms often used interchangeably, but they hold key differences. Custom-made jewellery typically involves making alterations or additions to pre-existing designs. This could mean changing the type of stone in a ring or adjusting the metal of a necklace. Bespoke jewellery, on the other hand, is a more involved and personal process. It starts entirely from scratch, with the design being conceived and created uniquely for the client.
Bespoke jewellery is tailored to the specific preferences and style of the individual, from the choice of metal to the selection and arrangement of stones. This process ensures that the final piece is not just unique but also a perfect reflection of the wearer’s personality and taste. Additionally, bespoke jewellery offers the opportunity to be involved in creating a piece that holds special meaning, whether it’s a representation of personal milestones, memories, or emotions, making it a truly one-of-a-kind creation.
A bespoke piece of jewellery stands out for its ability to tell a personal story. It goes beyond being a mere accessory and becomes a tangible representation of personal style, life experiences, and emotions. This journey of co-creation with the jeweller adds immense sentimental value to the piece, making it not just a jewel to wear but a cherished heirloom that can be passed down through generations, holding stories and emotions within its craftsmanship.
Right now oval shaped solitaires set on their own, or within a diamond halo or a hidden halo, on a skinnier ban, are proving hugely popular. We are also asked for Toi & Moi settings using heart shaped diamonds, pear shaped diamonds and asscher cut diamonds.
“They” say you should spend between one to three month’s wages on your ring. But honestly speaking, there are no hard or fast rules, however our bespoke designs start at around £5000.

What colour is a diamond? Many say they’re colourless, however, look closely and most contain subtle tints of yellows, soft pinks and rich browns. Truly colourless diamonds are known as white diamonds and are extremely rare and the most valuable. Diamond colour is graded from D to Z – D being the whitest, most colourless diamond and Z containing noticeable yellow, brown or pink tints. The letters D to Z represent a range of colour based on a combination of tone, lightness or darkness and saturation.
Cut
Diamond cut refers to the arrangement of a diamond’s facets. A diamond’s cut is often mistaken as meaning its shape (oval, pear, etc), but a diamond’s cut grade is actually about how well the facets interact with light.
Polish
Polish refers to the overall smoothness and condition of the diamond’s surface. It’s rare for a diamond to have a perfect polish. More often, they have tiny imperfections not visible to the naked eye.
Symmetry
Symmetry refers to how well-aligned the diamond's facets are. Symmetry, on the other hand, refers to the exactness of shape, overall outline, placement and alignment of individual facets.
The gradings provided by the GIA go from poor to excellent. If you select an SI clarity, we will provide Very Good cut, polish and symmetry. If you select a VS1 clarity, we will provide Excellent cut, polish and symmetry.
