What is custom jewellery?

Custom or tailored-made jewellery is about creating a totally unique piece of jewellery that is personalised to your tastes. Personalisation means that you are in full control of what the finished article looks like, meaning you can be certain that you are getting a fresh and individual piece. It is a wonderful choice if you are buying a piece of jewellery for a special occasion, such as an engagement ring or a significant birthday.

Navigating the design process

Now you know what custom jewellery is, you are probably wondering what the design process entails. Before purchasing a piece of custom jewellery in London, you need to bear the following steps in mind:


  1. Do some research on the styles you like. It may be useful to collect some photos or drawings of what you would like the design to look like.

  2. Send the information to the jeweller and agree on the quote.

  3. Review the 3D visualisations of the design from the jeweller and decide if you like them. Revisions can be made at this stage to make sure you are 100 per cent happy with the finished article.

  4. Once the design has been finalised, the artisans can begin their work.

  5. Receive the final creation!



Each process is different, and the time it takes can vary. At BAUNAT, we aim to have your 3D drawings ready within a week, and then the final item of jewellery is finished within three weeks.
