Bespoke jewellery
Earrings
Studs, drops and hoops, from a single natural stone to a fuller design, made as a pair or, where the design calls for it, on their own.
What Gavin makes here
In earrings, Gavin makes studs, hoops and drops, and, where the design calls for it, one matched pair rather than two separately made pieces. Weight and fitting are worked out for the ear that will carry them, not just the drawing.
What to think about
- Fitting and weight on the ear, particularly for a drop worn all day.
- Symmetry, if you want a true matched pair rather than two similar stones.
- The size of the setting against the piercing it is made for.
- How a drop moves against the neck and hair, not just how it looks still.
How a commission starts
- 01
The conversation
We start with your idea, your style and what matters to you, whether you already know exactly what you want or you are starting from nothing.
- 02
Design and stones
Gavin talks you through natural stones and what they cost, and refines the design, the setting and the proportions with you until it feels right.
- 03
Made and delivered
Your piece is handcrafted personally by Gavin, with a written valuation ready for insurance the day it leaves the studio.
The money conversation
Every commission starts with an honest conversation about budget before it becomes a design, so there are no surprises later. Read Affordability & insurance for how paying for a piece, and insuring it once it's made, usually works.
