Our Bespoke process

Creating your own piece of bespoke jewellery is a wonderful experience and one of Percy's passions is to accompany you on that journey. Bringing to life your ideas, however extreme, from rough sketches to creating a prototype and finally your very own unique piece to last for generations.

Starts with an Idea

Your journey begins with a relaxed conversation with Percy, either in his studio or over the phone, where you’ll explore the story you want your jewellery to tell. Whether you’re hoping to incorporate your own stones into an existing design, create an entirely new piece around something meaningful, or transform a cherished heirloom into a design with Percy’s signature touch, the process is always tailored to you.

From your ideas and requirements, Percy develops a selection of initial design sketches and provides an estimated quote. Once you’re happy with the direction, he then prepares detailed drawings that bring your bespoke piece to life.

Designing Together

Every detail can be tailored to your vision, and Percy works closely with you at every stage of the design and crafting process. He begins by translating your ideas into one of his signature design styles, typically presenting two or three unique concepts to consider.

During an in-person meeting, you’ll review hand-painted watercolour sketches and detailed drawings together. This is your opportunity to discuss refinements, explore alternatives, and ensure the design fully captures what you imagine. Only once everything feels just right is the final design approved, perfectly aligned with your dream idea.

Coming to Life

Percy is committed to ensuring that every piece of handmade jewellery meets the highest standards of quality, using only the finest materials and exceptional craftsmanship.

He is personally involved in every step of the making, from the stone selection to the final finishing touches, so you can feel confident that your piece is crafted with care, integrity, and a truly personal touch. Each creation carries an unmistakable sense of authenticity, reflecting both its unique origin and Percy’s dedication to excellence.
