Bespoke Creations: The Design Process

Bringing your ideas to life

With the aid of internet technology you can design the perfect bespoke piece from anywhere in Australia.

This customer was interested in a turtle charm bracelet I had posted on my social media pages.  As it had already been sold I showed them other turtle charms and beads I had in stock. They fell in love with the Paua shell and Sterling Silver style in this photo.

Years ago they had a favourite necklace in little blue and white beads. They wanted to replicate it and add the turtle charms.

Customer Briefing

Discuss colours, style and other design ideas

During our conversations the customer advised me of the colours and style of beads or look they liked. The length of the piece and other things relevant to the design.

With this information I shared photos of beads and materials I had in stock. I added other beads that picked out the colours in the Paua shell. The customer developed the mixes they were most interested in.

Trialling Patterns

It’s time to get into the pattern design phase.

This is where I make up several “dummy” strands in different patterns using the bead mixes the customer has selected. Once I have a few of these samples made I send more photos.  From this process the customer can tell me the elements they like or dislike.

A few little tweaks and another set of bespoke “dummies” are sent across the internet. Sometimes I may send a design out of “left field” just as an idea to develop on.

The Finished Product

Ready to send anywhere in Australia

This pretty set comprises of matching necklace and bracelet, both with extension chain. The sizing to be adjusted as needs be or they can be joined together to form a longer necklace.

The Paua turtle charms can be added or removed easily. As a bonus they can be threaded on large sleepers for earrings or added to a different necklace.

Bespoke or custom-made jewellery make lovely gift ideas and are perfect for that special occasion.

The Initial Consultation is Free and you are under no obligation to continue with the design. All costs will be quoted in writing before you commit to the project. You will be asked to confirm your acceptance of the costs and layby or payment plans are available
