The Bespoke Process
These are little artworks, dreamed up just for you.
When crafting up each jewel by hand, Phoebe follows a similar process to begin each bespoke. These steps are sensitively considered and formulated over a series of hand designs which once approved are brought into life in precious materials:
The vision
Phoebe begins with a consultation to outline your vision for the piece, either over email, zoom or face to face. In this stage, I'll ask you to note any special requirements including design considerations; requested size; budget; timeframe and metal preference.
If you would like to rework your existing jewels into the design, the safe delivery of your pieces will be arranged to Phoebe's London studio. In the sake of adding sentiment and narrative tot the design, Phoebe is particularly keen on reworking the old precious metals into your design should that be of interest.
​
Following this, I will encourage you to share images for design references and aesthetic to aid the designing round.
Design
Using your outlined brief, Phoebe will begin the initial stage of designing. Utilising her background as an artists and maker, Phoebe works freehand initially but depending on the design, may complete this stage in digital renders.
Once the final design is agreed, I will take a 50% deposit to begin the project, and 50% will be due on completion.
Create
Once all the design information is to hand and notes on file the making will begin. Each bespoke requires a different approach to creating and varies in time to make. This process typically takes between 4-8 weeks to complete, but may require longer.
Depending on the design Phoebe will either carve your design in wax, or using Computer Aided Design. All gold pieces will be Assay Hallmarked for authenticity and every bespoke will arrive in the unique Fine Jewellery bespoke packaging.

"I asked Phoebe to design something sensitive, natural and unique and that’s exactly what she created. We were all very close to my grandma and having this ring, redesigned from grandmothers broach, means she can be reminded of her every day."
