A useful bespoke jewellery price starts with a specification. A pendant, chain or ring can vary substantially in metal weight, dimensions, stones and construction, so a single starting price is not a reliable quote for your idea.
What to include in your brief
Send reference images, the type of piece, preferred dimensions, material, any stones and your comfortable budget. Explain which details are essential and where you are open to alternatives. For lettering or symbols, include the exact spelling and placement.
What changes the quote?
- Metal and construction: material, weight and whether the design is solid or uses another agreed construction.
- Stones: type, quantity, size and specification.
- Design work: the complexity of modelling and developing your idea.
- Making and finishing: assembly, setting, engraving and surface details.
- Scope: what is included in the finished piece and handover.
How to compare quotes fairly
Compare written specifications alongside totals. Two pieces with similar photographs may differ in thickness, dimensions, stone coverage or weight. Ask whether the weight is an estimate, which details remain subject to approval and how any changes would be priced.
Working within your budget
Ask for alternatives that preserve your main idea. You might change overall dimensions, simplify a difficult detail or compare stone specifications. Check the effect on appearance and practicality rather than choosing the lowest total without understanding the difference.
Before paying a deposit
Request written confirmation of payment stages, what design work is included, how revisions are handled and the expected completion window.
