Bespoke Jewellery Commissions
An idea, an inherited stone or a sketch can be the starting point. Xclusive Diamonds designs and makes bespoke rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets in-house.
Choose your stones and metal, see the CAD design and approve the price and production timeline before making begins.
Plan your commission
What makes a commission bespoke?
A bespoke commission starts with your brief and a design developed for it. This differs from choosing a metal, diamond option or size on an existing collection design. Both are made to order in-house; a commission includes its own design and approval process.
For an original design, start with our bespoke jewellery design service. If an existing design suits you, explore the made-to-order jewellery collection.
What to include in your brief
- The type of jewellery and the idea behind it.
- A sketch or reference photographs, if you have them.
- Your preferred metal and stones, including any stones you already own.
- An approximate budget and any important date.
- Practical details such as ring size, pendant dimensions or how a wedding band should fit.
You do not need a finished design. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation to proceed. See the five stages of a bespoke commission.
Bespoke commission questions
Will I see the design before you make it?
Yes. We create a 3D CAD design so you can review the proportions and setting before making begins. You approve the design, fixed price and production timeline before we proceed.
How long does a bespoke jewellery commission take?
Bespoke commissions take 2–10 weeks to make, depending on complexity. Design discussions and approvals take place before production. Delivery follows once the piece is complete; we confirm the production timeline with your quote.
Can I use a diamond I already own?
We can discuss a new design using your existing stone. Send photographs and any known stone details so we can check the possibilities for your particular piece before agreeing the design.
How much will my commission cost?
The price depends on the design, metal, stones and work involved. Tell us your approximate budget at the start so we can discuss suitable options. You receive a fixed price in writing before making begins.
Can you show me images or videos of a diamond?
Yes, we can supply images or videos of the actual diamond on request. Contact us with the diamond or commission you are considering.
