BESPOKE RING DESIGN @ BALDWIN'S JEWELLERY
Whether you’re dreaming of a unique engagement ring, a statement piece, or reimagining a sentimental heirloom, we’ll work with you to craft a design that’s as special as your story. From initial sketches to the final masterpiece, every detail is tailored to your vision.
Initial Consultation
The process begins with a detailed consultation where we discuss your vision for the ring. Whether it’s an engagement ring, a wedding band, or a custom piece, we explore your preferences for design, metals, gemstones, and overall style. This is also the stage to discuss practicalities, such as your budget and any deadlines. Our goal is to align your vision with what is achievable, ensuring the design is both beautiful and realistic.
Material Sourcing & Incorporating Old Jewellery
We carefully consider the materials for your ring, sourcing ethically from our trusted suppliers. If you’d like to incorporate old jewellery, we evaluate its condition and suitability. Some metals may have limitations, such as being too brittle for reworking, or gemstones might require resetting or polishing. Reusing materials can be a cost-effective and sentimental option, but we’ll guide you through the best approach to achieve your desired design.
3D Modelling & Design
Once the design concept is agreed upon, we create a detailed 3D model of your ring. This stage allows you to see the design in a virtual format, making it easier to adjust proportions, settings, or decorative elements. We also take into account any structural constraints, such as ensuring the setting is secure for specific stones or that the band is durable for everyday wear.
Expert Construction
With the design finalized, our expert jewellers bring your ring to life. The type of metal you choose—gold, platinum, or another alloy—will influence the techniques we use, as each has unique properties. For instance, platinum is more durable but requires specialized tools, while gold is more malleable but prone to scratches. If using old jewellery, we carefully melt down and refine the metal or reset gemstones, ensuring the new piece meets modern standards.
Final Approval & Delivery
After crafting, the ring is polished, inspected, and presented for your approval. This is your opportunity to see the final piece in its entirety. If any last-minute adjustments are needed, we ensure they’re completed to your satisfaction. Once approved, your bespoke ring is beautifully packaged and ready for collection from our store in Tavistock, Devon or delivery.
