Bespoke
Jewellery commissioned,not chosen.
Commissioning with Stones The Jeweller is a conversation first and a piece of jewellery second. Joshua works personally with each client, from brief to stone to finished piece.
What it feels like
Five things youcan expect.
- Personal service
- Joshua works with each client personally, from the first conversation to the presentation of the finished piece.
- Expert guidance
- Plain answers about diamonds, gemstones and settings, drawn from years in the diamond trade.
- Exceptional sourcing
- Stones found through a wholesale network built over years, viewed loose and in person before anything is decided.
- Thoughtful design
- Proportions, setting and detail refined around the stone and the person who will wear it.
- Skilled craftsmanship
- Made and set by hand by specialist craftsmen Joshua has worked with for years.
What we commission
01
Engagement rings
Most commissions begin here. Joshua starts with the person who will wear the ring: how they dress, what they do with their hands, what they already own, and what they would never choose for themselves.
The stone is sourced to that brief, viewed in person, and the design is drawn around it.
02
Wedding bands
Made to sit with the engagement ring rather than beside it, with the profile, width and setting worked out against the ring itself.
03
Fine jewellery
Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and pendants, commissioned for a particular person and occasion. Often the pieces that become the ones a family keeps.
04
Significant diamonds
For clients seeking a particular stone, whether a size, a cut or a rarity, Joshua sources through the trade network he built in the wholesale industry, and advises on what the certificate does and does not tell you.
05
Anniversary jewellery
A piece to mark a year, a decade or a life together. Designed with the same care as the first ring, and often with a story folded into it.
06
Heirloom pieces
Jewellery intended to be passed on. Built to be worn daily for decades, with stones and settings chosen to outlast fashion.
How it works
Five stages,one conversation.
The same unhurried path for a wedding band or a significant stone. Most of it happens in conversation.
01
Consultation
Understand the occasion, wearer, style, preferences and budget.
A private conversation, in person or by phone, with no obligation and nothing to buy.
02
Stone Selection
Joshua sources a carefully selected shortlist of diamonds or gemstones.
Stones are viewed loose, in daylight and under grading light, with their reports to hand.
03
Design
The proportions, setting and details are refined around the selected stone and wearer.
Drawings and renders are reviewed together until every line is right.
04
Creation
Specialist craftsmen bring the commission to life.
Mounted, set and finished by hand by craftsmen Joshua has worked with for years.
05
Presentation
The finished piece is privately presented to the client.
Checked against the brief and the stone report, then presented in person.
