Bespoke Jewellery Design Service
How to Commission a Bespoke Jewellery Design
1. BOOK A CONSULTATION WITH NATALIE
Email natalie@natalieperryjewellery.com to book an appointment at Natalie's studio in London. Or if you’re based elsewhere then you’re welcome to book a video or telephone consultation.
You may already have an idea of the design you'd like to create - it could be a different variation on a piece you've seen on the website or a completely new idea with Natalie Perry's aesthetic. During your consultation Natalie will discuss with you the design, budget and delivery times and any additional information required to create a piece of bespoke jewellery just for you.
We recommend having the below information available when contacting us about bespoke jewellery to help us conceive the most perfect piece for you:
Your Desired Jewellery Piece – Would you like a pair of earrings, a necklace or ring, etc?
Choice of Metal Colour & Gemstones – Natalie Perry’s core collections are handcrafted in solid yellow gold. Bespoke pieces can be made in your choice of precious metal and gemstones. Choose from platinum, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, as well as various diamonds and coloured gemstones.
Timeframe – When is your jewellery piece needed? Do you have a date in mind such as a proposal date, special occasion or your wedding?
Budget – Do you have a set budget for your bespoke design? We can create a bespoke piece to suit your budget and will discuss the options of gemstone sizes, carat weights and metal alloys with you.
If you have a very clear idea of what you’d like, in-person appointments are not always needed, as ideas can be discussed over the phone or via video call. However, we welcome appointments if this will help you to visualise your design.
2. FINALISE BESPOKE JEWELLERY DESIGN
Following your consultation, Natalie will send over a design brief. Depending on the piece, this could include design sketches, digital drawings or photoshopped examples to help you visualise your design.
When you are ready to move forward, the next stage will be deposit payment.
Natalie can document the making process, where possible, so you can have photos/videos of the journey of your jewellery being made.
3. PAYMENT OF YOUR BESPOKE COMMISSION
A 50% deposit is required by Natalie before work on bespoke jewellery and customised orders can begin. This acts as a confirmation of your order. Once the deposit has been paid, you will be committed to purchase the piece of jewellery and the order cannot be cancelled.
The remaining 50% will then need to be paid in full before the order can be dispatched or collected. Payment can be made by debit card, credit card or bank transfer and the goods remain the property of Natalie Perry Jewellery Ltd until paid for in full.
4. TIME FRAME FOR BESPOKE JEWELLERY TO BE COMPLETED
Depending on the nature of the work, bespoke jewellery pieces normally take between 5-8 weeks for Natalie to produce. During busier times such as the lead up to Christmas, this timescale may be longer, so please get in touch with as much advance notice as possible.
5. INTERNATIONAL COMMISSIONS
Natalie has worked with customers around the world, so creating a bespoke piece of jewellery is no problem if you live outside the UK. We provide high quality photography and videography throughout the process which means you will have a clear visualisation of all design parameters for your piece. Please email Natalie on natalie@natalieperryjewellery.com to discuss your commission.
WHAT IS CUSTOMISED JEWELLERY?
Every piece from Natalie Perry’s collections can be customised with your choice of gemstones or precious metal alloy. That means if you prefer white gold or platinum over yellow gold, we can make this specially for you.
Each piece can be made-to-order in yellow, rose and white gold of 9ct, 14ct, 18ct gold and platinum. We also work with 22ct gold upon request.
We can offer our advice and expertise on the best alloy of precious metal for wearability and to suit your lifestyle.
Jewellery set with diamonds or gemstones, can be personalised with your choice of gemstone. For example, if you like a particular engagement ring on the website but would like it set with a sapphire, we can source this for you. Our necklaces, earrings and bracelets make beautiful gifts and our customers often choose to have these pieces set with birthstones or meaningful coloured gemstones.
We love coloured gemstones for their vivid beauty but also the spiritual meanings behind them. If you’d like like to add or a particular gemstone for its healing properties, speak to our team to find out more about the spiritual meanings of each gemstone.
We will always offer our care advice for coloured gemstones to ensure your jewellery piece looks beautiful everyday and stands the test of time.
Prices for customised and personalised pieces will depend on the design, the materials used and the complexity of customisation. Please use our core collection as a guide to pricing, as customised pieces will be based upon these.
JEWELLERY ENGRAVING
Natalie offers a custom engraving service if you would like your jewellery engraved with a special written message or image. Please email Natalie to discuss your engraving and she will contact you to discuss exact details. At this stage, font options and pricing will be arranged.
STONE SOURCING
If you'd like Natalie to source specific gemstones for you to see during your consultation then an £85 stone sourcing fee will be charged. This amount will be deducted from the final invoice for your bespoke piece, upon completion.
You are welcome to choose your gemstones or diamonds at an in-person appointment at Natalie’s studio in London. Or alternatively, Natalie will send you detailed photos and videos of the gemstones for you to choose from.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
"Natalie helped me choose the perfect gift for my mum from her collection. We decided on the delicate flower ring with green peridot and tourmaline gemstones. My mum was overwhelmed, the sheer beauty of the piece was breathtaking and so much so that she shed a little tear. A very special moment. Thank you Natalie." - Lucy S
"I love the elegant simplicity of my beautiful gold ring and unusual tanzanite. Thank you!" - Nicola K

"I had the most pleasant shopping experience with Natalie. Not only does she create beautiful jewellery, she also really cares to deliver excellent customer service. I asked for a small change to the earrings I ordered and Natalie could not have been more helpful and went out of her way to make sure I was a 100% happy. Highly recommended!" - Ruth O
