One-of-a-kind pieces to last always
BESPOKE
Specialising in the creation of one-off bespoke jewellery, Ashley believes that something worn every day should be made specifically for the wearer. Ashley’s approach is a personal one; she works to create a piece of jewellery that reflects you and your story, incorporating details in the design – often subtle, hidden symbols – that mean something special to the wearer. Creating a bespoke piece is a highly collaborative process that includes you at every step of the journey, no matter where you are located.
THE PROCESS
Create a custom jewellery piece with Ashley Mikal
During the initial consultation Ashley will learn more about the purpose of the piece, your objectives and design inspirations as well as budget and timeline.
Ashley will work with her trusted gemstone suppliers to hand select an assortment of gemstones that would work beautifully for your piece. A presentation will be created with designs based around the selected gemstones for you to choose from. Occasionally clients will wish to mix-and-match details from the designs; a second design presentation can be provided with a narrowing down of two to three designs. A second consultation will commence where all details of the design are finalised for production.
Technical drawings will be provided that demonstrate every detail and angle of the design. Depending on if your piece is best suited to be designed by CAD, the design will be 3D printed in wax upon approval and you will get to see the jewellery as a tangible, scaled prototype before going to casting. Once approved, the piece will be cast, cleaned, set and polished by Ashley’s amazing team of master craftsmen before being hallmarked, packaged and shipped to you. This process generally takes between six and eight weeks according to the complexity of the piece but if you are working with a tighter timeline we can certainly work to accommodate you.
