Bespoke Jewellery Design Commissions
The bespoke jewellery design commissions I get are very varied. Browse to gather inspiration. Here are some jewellery design pieces that others have asked me to design for their loved ones, for special occasions and of course many other personal reasons. Some clients have asked for their jewellery design not to be reproduced while others are happy to let others buy the jewellery design that they originally ordered for themselves.
GODDESS ANAHITA
On her way back home from the airport in Sweden my partner lost her engagement ring. She was putting on cream on her hands when the ticket inspector came past. Not realizing the ring had been taken off and that it had fallen on the floor she left the train without it! Fortunately for us we sent and email to the guys at the Arlanda Express and offered a reward to anyone who might have returned it. In few days we got it back from one of the cleaners who in fact was about to get married himself. They loved the ring and wanted one just like it. Said I would create something very similar but not an exact copy of the mermaid ring which they found. I based the concept around the Persian Goddess Anahita and drew inspiration from ancient stone statues of her as I wanted a theme to suite the couples ancestry and mythology. It was set with a beautiful pink tourmaline in 18ct yellow gold.
PERIDOT & DIAMOND PLATINUM RING
A nice delicate design with 34 diamonds and a birth stone. Band is about 1.7mm wide. Personally engraved: “A journey with A” as both names of the couple start with A. £980
MOURNING BRACELET
This bracelet of linked drops was one of the first items I made. It is plated with black rhodium. After a year or two of wear the black plating will come off to expose the silver shiny underneath it. £250
JIMMY HENDRIX RING
A London based customer asked me if I could do a bespoke design in the form of a replica of ring Hendrix used to wear on his pinky but bigger. We found beautiful turquoise stone that I polished the shine off to give it a more rustic aged look. £380
SHELL NECKLACE
The shell was commissioned for Sheila Ross by her daughter “This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. This piece of jewellery was just a concept in my mind and you have made it a reality that is beyond anything I would have dreamed of. I’m so looking forward to giving this gift this Christmas. Thank you so much Sebastian” R A London 2012. £120
NORTH STAR
This ring for was for lucid dreaming pioneer and auther Dr. Rory MacSweeney who wanted to have “True North” engraved inside his wedding band. It is made in 14kt rose gold. The silver plated section in the middle represents the horizon and the blue sapphire the north star.
DEVEREUX
Godfrey Devereux, originator of The Dynamic Yoga Training Method, commissioned me to use his initials to create a couple of gold earrings for him.
ASHER STUDS
Tiny 3mm Asher cut diamond studs in 18ct. £850
RENAISSANCE DESIGN, CRUCIFIX, CROSS, WHITE GOLD AND GEMSTONES
The owner of this crucifix wanted to redesign and recycle an old white gold cross he had stacked away at home. He wanted it to have an Italian Renaissance feel mixed with a Mexican style decoration. Below you can see part of the design process. The fianal result is this striking 18kt white gold cross set with aquamarines and amethysts priced at just under two thousand pounds sterling. £1300
LION CUFF
This black leather cuff with a big lion head in the center need to be improved. The owner wanted to have stones and studs added to the cuff so I designed this setting holding 10mm square garnets that can be attached to leather easily by using round studs.
TWISTING PEARL BRACELET
I was walking back from the bullion and scrap gold shop one day in Brighton (I had just moved to Brighton) and saw a jewellery shop. The owner Julian said he had a CAD job for me. I came in the next day and looked at his deign. 24hours later the file was ready for casting.
AMBER NECKLACE
The summer of 2016 I got a commission to make a silver necklace that was to be worn on a daily basis. She showed me a painting that was very dear to her and wanted something made based on that along with having an Amber Stone incorporated into the piece.
VINE LEAF NECKLACE
After completing my Level 4 Diploma in CAD and Design Communication at Holts Academy in 2013, I was awarded with a price for “Best CAD Design of The Year”. This was one of the final renders that got me that prize.
AUDACITY EARRINGS
Me and William Cheshire have been working together to create avant-garde pieces for good few years now. I made the CAD for these beautiful and unusual pair of earrings that headlined his stall at the renowned Goldsmiths’ Fair in 2015. I am very proud to have been involved in drawing the CAD for many of his other pieces. Visit his shop in Hackney on 14 Broadway Market to see them live.

SET OF 1CT ENGAGEMENT RING & 4 STONE WEDDING BAND
This client contacted me all the way from Guam which is an island in the pacific! He found my Pianoring online and asked if I could customize that for him and create rings for his beloved. The star and moon details are on both his and her ring. £1600 excluding diamonds.
PEARLS & DIAMONDS
Another stunning design by William Cheshire that I made very early on in CAD for him. Just after I had finished my Level 3 ICCD CAD and Design Communication Diploma in Hatton Garden, back in the days when he had a basement workshop in Black Bull Yard.
