Bespoke jewellery
Necklaces
Chains, collars and statement necklaces, built around a natural stone, a shape or an idea you already have in mind.
What Gavin makes here
In necklaces, Gavin makes rivière necklaces, station necklaces, lariats that tie or loop rather than clasp, and collars that sit close to the throat. The chain, the stone spacing and the drop are decided around the neckline you actually wear.
What to think about
- Length against your neckline, and what you usually wear it with.
- Weight, especially for a design carrying several stones or a heavier chain.
- Clasp type, and whether you can fasten it yourself.
- How it sits with a pendant or another necklace worn on the same chain.
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.
