Why Choose Bespoke Jewellery?
If you hadn’t already got the message, creating a bespoke piece of jewellery makes it one-of-a-kind unique! You could be adapting a gorgeous ring that has a special meaning, or you could be a style guru and want to create something exceptional. When it comes to designing your own engagement ring you may have been dreaming of the perfect ring since you were a little girl and now is your chance to make this vision a reality.
There’s so much emotion and romance attached to an engagement ring and through creating your own you have made something to treasure forever. You may have created an heirloom that’s amazingly personal. Or you can also bring a beloved family piece up to date to treasure for many more years to come!
It’s a really luxurious feeling to own something that’s yours and yours only!
Who Can Help You From Laings?
Laings offers a bespoke, handmade jewellery service to our customers and our bespoke team have created some really wonderful pieces.
Kirsty Berry is an award-winning designer who studied at Glasgow School of Art and is known for designing exquisitely elegant and contemporary jewellery. She’s joined by Alison Harris who, after studying at Duncan Jordanstone College of Art and Design, has been honing her skills with Laings. Stuart Thomson, a certified diamond grader completes the bespoke team, with over 35 years’ experience in the trade he brings the ideas to life.
“A positive and personal experience is key when you are dealing with design customers and I feel here at Laings we
are very unique in the fact that we have a dedicated design department for bespoke work to be carried out. Customers are able to meet with either myself or Kirsty and having our own in house goldsmith adds to the experience for the customer as they are also able to meet with Stuart at certain points throughout the design process. This allows customers to meet the person who will be carrying out the work which makes it a more personal experience and allows for any more technical questions to be answered. Myself and Kirsty both work closely with Stuart and I feel that this is a great creative dynamic to be a part of as we are able to bring our individual skills and knowledge and work together to provide the best service to our customers.” – Alison
“We’re a team that’s really passionate about what we do. It’s a great tool we’ve got here at Laings and the way we work together is almost unique in the Arcade. It’s a real advantage having myself and the design team here, a team that’s passionate about creating beautiful bespoke pieces”. - Stuart
How Will Laings Help With The Process?
Each piece is
custom-designed at Laings to your own specifications. Whether it’s a wedding ring, necklace, bracelet, brooch – whatever you’re dreaming of – the team will take you from concept to completion and help you along your jewellery journey. Each design is different, and so each process individual. We’ll always start with a consultation, moving on to producing the designs and from there we can make appointments to keep you involved every step of the way.
“It’s fantastic to work on commissions throughout the process, right from the conception, with the customer being involved for the entire journey. Meeting with the clients’ right from the conception is always exciting as we get to hear their ideas and get to work on a sample product. For me, I really enjoy it when the client sees the end product and their delight and pleasure at seeing the finished article.” - Stuart
“We have also recently invested in Matrix technology which will allow us to create computer generated images and designs to customer’s specifications for things that may not be possible to be made by hand. At Laings we deal with a range of design work, from remounting customers jewellery, transforming them into something new to creating completely hand-crafted bespoke pieces - the sky is the limit!” – Alison
