GOING BESPOKE: THE LARA STAFFORD-DEITSCH JEWELLERY WAY
OUR MAKING PROCESS
ENGAGEMENT RINGS
We start with a no-obligation phone or in-person appointment in my workshop in Bristol.
This initial meeting allows us to get to know each other and discuss your vision for the perfect engagement ring.
Whether you have a clear design in mind or need inspiration, we will work together to create your dream ring, designing options that fit within your budget and timeline.
If you require us to outsource gemstones, we will order these in and arrange a time for you to either come and view them in person, or if we are working remotely we will send you high quality videos of the gems.
To order in the stones, we charge a £50 non-refundable deposit, which will be deducted from
the cost of the final piece.
Once the gemstone(s) has been chosen, I will sketch up some designs with ideas for how we can create a new home for your chosen gemstone!
Once we have a design that you’re happy with (at this point, we can make as many adjustments to the design as you’d like), we’ll provide you with a final quote on the design, and charge a 50% non-refundable down-payment for the ring, allowing me to order in the materials and begin the making process.
The timescale from the start of the making process of the ring to completion is usually between 6-8 weeks, however if you have a date in mind that is before then, please do get in touch and I will do my best to meet your deadline.
Once the ring is ready to collect or ship, we’ll invoice for the remaining balance.
As it’s not always easy to get the finger size for a surprise proposal, we offer a complimentary sizing on your engagement ring once you’ve proposed, so the wearer can enjoy the perfect fit.
Our typical making process for engagement ring commissions, from start to completion. It really couldn’t be easier.
GEMSTONE PROPOSALS
THE GEMSTONE PROPOSAL
If you’re unsure on the design of your engagement ring, or you’d like your partner to have some input but still keep the element of surprise, we offer a gemstone proposal service.
CHOOSING A GEMSTONE
To make sure you choose the right gemstone for you & your partner, you can visit our workshop to view a selection of gemstones that we’ve ordered especially for your proposal, so you can choose your favourite to propose with.
DESIGNING & MAKING THE RING
Then, following the proposal, your partner can join us in the design process, together we can create their dream ring, using the gemstone you proposed with.
