Bespoke handmade stone set shaped Wedding Ring
Rainbow coloured stone set into a unique 18ct yellow gold hand made ring
My couple had drawn a blank in the shops. Nobody was offering anything different on the high street, they didn't seem to want to know.
Thats when they came across HR Jewellery Designs bespoke wedding rings online. This gave them hope and they got in touch.
At our first meeting we discussed the kinds of rings they both wanted. Jonny had a picture of the kind of thing he wanted while Jess had an idea.
It was now my job to come up with designs. They were able to tell me their budget so I had something to work towards, nothing worse than me designing a piece far more money than they want to spend!
​
Once I sent over my designs we were able to meet again and go through things. I was then able to arrange a selection of stones for Jess to see and choose from.
Everyones idea of their 'perfect' green and 'most beautiful' orange is subjective so getting the right coloured stones for this wedding band was one of the most important jobs. This is why I love to get a choice of stones in so that my clients can be a part of the process. It is so much more personal!
Sterling Silver Bespoke Barrel Clasp Necklace Commission
Unique Jewellery Designed and Handmade near Chichester West Sussex
Ellie messaged me as she wanted a very special jewellery commission making.
Her family had had some very emotional years but now they were coming through the other side. Ellie felt she needed something to celebrate this but to never forget what it has taken to get to this point.
After having a lovely chat with Ellie I felt able to produce a series of sketches for Ellie to choose from.
My main aim was to celebrate this little unassuming to most piece of hospital equipment.
​
When Ellie saw my designs she instantly picked one of them over all the others. This was the one.
​
This necklace wasn't as easy to make as you may think.
It was quite tricky to make sure that the Barrel fastening twisted smoothly and independently of the beautifully thick snake chain.
The fastening is made to be a stunning focal point of Ellie's necklace but a very personal and understated memory of how this changed their families lives.
​
It was such a pleasure to meet Ellie and such an honour to be trusted with this bespoke jewellery commission.
Gold and Palladium Multi Stone Stacking Ring
Handmade Multi Band Ring Set with Pink Sapphires, Aquamarine and Diamonds by HR Jewellery Designs
Alison came to me after the unfortunate event of being burgled.
She really wanted to replace a ring that had originally been several years ago for her. We went through the design and after making several changes Alison was more than happy with her improved stacking ring design.
​Once Alison was happy (and so were her insurance company) I was able to get in stones from my stone merchant so Alison could hand pick all the beautiful stones for her gorgeous stacking ring.
Using beautiful combinations of metals such as rose gold, white gold and palladium, finding the perfect colour of pink sapphire and aquamarine along side the diamonds in various shapes and sizes finish off this stunning stacking ring in a truly unique way.
​
The slim bands of each ring allow each stone to stand out. The amazing amount of variety this ring can give to Alison means she will never get bored playing with its possibilities.
​
Alison was over joyed to have been included in the design process and being able to choose all of her stones was the icing on the cake.
​
It was hard to hand this particular piece go but I knew it was going to a good home.
Sterling Silver Monkey Cufflinks Jewellery Commission
Animal Cufflinks made by Independent Hampshire Jeweller, HR Jewellery Designs
My clients had got back in touch with a request that was slightly unusual. They wanted a very special gift commissioning for their son.
When he was little they always called him 'a cheeky little monkey' and even as an adult this has stuck with him and his parents.
The request was to make a pair of monkey cufflinks.
My first challenge was making sure I knew what kind of monkey my clients had in mind, realistic, playful, full monkey or just its little face. I emailed my clients some images so I could narrow it down.
they were very quickly able to get back to me with the kind of look they wanted the cufflinks to have.
From here I was able to start sketching.
my client loved the sketches so I got the go ahead to start the making process.
After I had made a monkey it was ready to be cast in the metal of my clients choice, which was Sterling Silver.
I had carved the monkeys face on both sides of his head to keep the casting costs down.
Once he was back from the casters I was able to make the finishing touches. This included making the monkey a left and a right cufflink.
Bespoke Crossover Engagement Ring and fitted wedding band
White sapphire Engagement ring and Yellow Gold fitted wedding band Commission
My client got in touch after seeing an engagement ring commission on my website. He loved this design and thought it would be perfect for his
future wife.
After my initial meeting with Mr Beeny and his future wife we adapted the design slightly to for fill their requirements.
The stone of choice for this gorgeous engagement ring was a beautiful round brilliant White Sapphire.
The elegant crossover design shows of the White Sapphire perfectly.
Half way through the making process my client got in touch asking if I could design and make a wedding band at the same time.
Of course this was no problem!
The wedding band needed to fit beautifully with the engagement ring as a continuous band without looking like it was joined so as not to spoil the overall beauty of the rings. This was not as easy as it sounds!
After some experimenting I found the perfect idea and design. Not only was the wedding ring joined continuously but once the two rings were together they would not slide apart from each other when being worn.
My clients put their trust in my hands and could not wait to see their finished rings.
​
My clients came to my house to collect their stunning engagement ring and wedding ring. They absolutely loved them!
Hand Made Platinum Engagement Ring Commission Using Old Cut Diamonds
Three stone ruby and diamond ring bespoke designed and made by HR Jewellery Designs
Pete contacted me wanting a special unique engagement ring for the lady he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
Pete and Lucy had an idea of the design and stones they wanted and with my help we worked on the perfect design.
Lucy wanted her three stone engagement ring to have beautiful Ruby as the centre stone with gorgeous diamonds either side.
At our next meeting I was able to have a beautiful little selection of rubies so that Pete and Lucy could choose their perfect stone together.
It turned out that Pete also had a hand down 3 stone ring set with old cut diamonds. Lucy thought it would be lovely to use the two outside diamonds from this ring in her gorgeous engagement ring.
These diamonds looked stunning. They were old cut diamonds so were slightly different sizes. Once they were set into Lucy's gorgeous new engagement ring the differences in theirs sizes were hardly noticeable. The centre Ruby stone is a beautiful rich colour and looks stunning set in the handmade Platinum ring.
Bespoke ring handmade in white gold to fit perfectly with the engagement ring
Hannah came to me after her friend recommended me to her. This is always lovely and I am very grateful to have very happy clients.
Hannah has seen the same shaped wedding ring designs in the high street shops, none of which inspired her and none of which fit her engagement ring properly.
After talking with Hannah and seeing her beautiful oval sapphire and diamond cluster engagement ring I had thoughts and ideas running through my mind as to the kind of stunningly different wedding ring I could create for her.
I felt the wedding ring should a have soft flowing feel about it to complement the beautiful shape of Hannah’s engagement ring.
With Hannah mentioning that she might want some sapphires and diamonds to be added to her wedding band so it enhanced her engagement ring
I was able to design a stunning wedding band to complement Hannah’s style and her engagement ring perfectly.
Unique Shaped Wedding Ring Commission Set With Sapphires And Diamonds
Mens Black Zirconium Wedding Band Commission by HR Jewellery Designs
Gents stone set diamond and sapphire bespoke wide zirconium wedding ring is handmade here in West Sussex
Hannah’s husband to be wanted his wedding band to be far from high street. One of the criteria was ‘not shiny’. My response was ‘no problem’!
​
We were able to go through different metal choices, some of which Tim wasn’t aware of. Having Titanium and gold together in the same band create a beautiful soft contrast as do titanium and zirconium. I was then able to show Tim a few examples and he really loved a Black Zirconium ring I showed him.
A stunningly different dramatic black metal that was just what Tim loved but hadn’t known was possible.
​
He also wanted it to match Hannah’s wedding ring in some way so loved the idea of setting the same stones in his Wedding Ring as in Hannah’s. This gave his ring a subtle change and very much a union with Hannah’s that was so very personal.
Mens Unique Black Rhodium Wedding Ring Commission
This beautiful gents handmade wedding band is 6mm wide and made in 9ct white gold
Jamie got in touch knowing he did not want an ordinary 'off the shelf' wedding band.
At our initial appointment I was able to show Jamie different wedding band styles and finishes.
When he saw my Stardust collection he knew instantly that he loved the finish and style of the rings but wanted a more individual spin
on his wedding band.
When he saw my idea of combining my Stardust finish with Black Rhodium plating Jamie was certain this was the ring for him.
Several weeks later I met up with Jamie again to hand over his stunning ring.
Needless to say he loves it!
His and Hers Matching Textured Wedding Rings
Handmade in beautiful white metals of Platinum and Palladium, these wedding band commissions really do make a great matching pair
Having designed and made Helens engagement ring it was lovely when Tom got back in touch with me to make their beautiful wedding bands.
Helens gorgeous engagement ring was handmade in palladium so when we met to discuss ideas Helen really loved the thought of her wedding band contrasting with her engagement ring. To do this and get maximum impact we decided it would look stunning in platinum.
Tom loved the idea of his wedding band being handmade in palladium which would complement Helens engagement ring while contrasting with her wedding band.
Tom's ring had my gorgeous linear satin finish applied which makes his ring look very organic while Helens ring had the linear finish it was highly polished giving her ring a high end luxurious feel.
Ben emailed me wanting a beautiful handmade engagement ring.
Amy (his fiancé to be) and Ben had been looking online and had emailed me a design they liked the look of.
The design they liked didn’t quite work with the size stone that Ben wanted for Amy so I was able to sketch a few new ideas that I felt would really show off the stunning blue round brilliant cut Sapphire.
​
Amy really want a stunning Blue Sapphire for her single stone in her engagement ring. I was very excited when a little parcel arrived with a beautiful selection of Sapphires in to be able to select the perfect one.
​
Unfortunately Ben and myself were unable to meet up to choose Amy’s stone but I was able to photograph the Sapphires and email them over to Ben so that Amy and Ben could choose their sapphire together.
​
Once they had chosen their perfect stone and picked their favourite ring design the making process began.
Ben was planning on surprising Amy with her engagement ring so the deadline was brought forward considerably. I am really happy to say that I was able to make this date without compromise! He was to propose to Amy on holiday, she had no idea. It was a wonderful surprise and I feel privileged to have been a part of making it happen.

Anthony had planned a surprise trip away so that he could propose.
Claire said yes!! CONGRATULATIONS!
When Anthony got in touch he had seen an engagement ring on my Commissions page. He really loved the style of my design and more importantly was ready to take the next step with his girlfriend and get engaged.
Over the next couple of weeks we were able to meet up without his girlfriend knowing.
Anthony's proposal to his girlfriend was going to be a complete surprise but I still had to make sure the stone size would suit Anthony’s girlfriends finger. He had managed to sneakily get her finger size- don't ask me how!
Anthony had chosen a Sapphire stone to be the centre piece for the engagement ring.
My next step was to go away and source some exquisite sapphires so at our next meeting Anthony could choose his perfect one.
​
He was bowled over by the differences in the stones which proves that you really do benefit by seeing the stones in the flesh. I love my clients to get involved in the whole process as Commissions can be very personal.
Once Anthony had chosen his sapphire I was able to make a start making the stunning engagement ring for his soon to be fiancé.
Claire’s beautiful engagement ring was handmade in palladium and set with the blue round brilliant cut sapphire.
When Anthony saw the ring he was over whelmed and overjoyed. He knew straight away that Claire would love it.
Sterling Silver Bespoke Birthstone Bangle Commission
Hand pierced design set with four cabochon cut semi precious stones
Michael called me looking for a handmade piece of jewellery for an anniversary present.
He had been browsing the internet for ideas and came across my site. The piece that really caught his eye was the beautiful Silver Moonstone bangle.
When we chatted further on the phone I was able to find out what Michael wanted this very special piece of jewellery to mean.
it was to incorporate their three children and their anniversary birthstones.
​
The next step was for me to sketch a couple of designs so Michael could see if his wife would love any of them.
With a couple of little tweaks here and there we had the perfect final design.
I was able to choose some beautiful cabochon cut stones. All the stones have amazing clarity and fire, each one complementing the other for the birthstone bangle.
​
The beautiful stone that were use were (from left to right)
Aquamarine
Sapphire
Garnet
Amethyst
Claire wanted a ring to signify her and her two gorgeous children but just in case she wanted an addition to her beautiful family Claire wanted a ring she could add to.
She had a ‘dress’ stacking ring which consisted of three separate bands. Claire wore this ring every
day so because of this Claire and I decided that this style of ring would be perfect.
Claire wanted the birth stones of her two girls. She already had a diamond from an unworn ring for her birthstone.
This meant the stacking ring would be perfect and we could add another band should another little bundle of joy come along.
Claire was really involved throughout the design process and loved the part where she got to choose
the precious and semi precious stones for her ring.
When the little packets of glorious Aquamarines and Sapphires arrived and we spent a couple of hours of what can only be described as as fun choosing the perfect ones.
Claire loves the fact that the sapphire takes on slightly different colours in different lights.
The simple elegant cup setting for the stones shows them off perfectly.

Large Oval Pink Sapphire Ring Commission
Handmade 9ct yellow gold rub over setting dress ring by HR Jewellery Designs, West Sussex
Alma knew exactly what kind of style ring she wanted. A sleek, smooth style, that wouldn’t catch on her clothes and would show the stone off. My next step was to find the perfect stone. My client wanted a pink sapphire. They can come in all different shapes and sizes but Alma narrowed down her choice to a round brilliant cut stone. Upon speaking to my stone merchant I was told about this beautiful pink sapphire. The only thing was it was oval and not the ‘ideal’ pink sapphire colour. It sounded beautiful so I just had to let Alma see it! After receiving several sapphires (I love when little parcels arrive) I met with Alma once again so she could choose her beautiful sapphire. I showed her them all including ‘my wild card’.
My Client Kim got in touch wanting a very special bracelet or bangle making for his wife for their 40th Wedding Anniversary.
Once my client had shown me the pieces of jewellery it need to sit alongside I started to sketch
several ideas and designs.
After emailing my designs, Kim was able to choose the one he knew his wife would love the most and get the most wear out of.
The gorgeous hearts catch the light beautifully with the textured hammered finish.
The Ruby set in the centre of the heart signifies their 40th Wedding Anniversary.

She knew she wanted a beautiful opal with some stones on the shoulders of her ring.
Annalise showed me a picture of the kind of ring she would like but hadn’t found anywhere in the shops.
From this I was able to do some sketches to show the different ways the stones could be set.
​
Our next appointment was for Annalisa to choose her stones. I brought with me a selection of beautiful opals and different sized rubalite stone for her to choose from.
There are so many different and varied colours to opals that I would always recommend you choose one by actually seeing it.
​
Throughout the design process Annalisa had been wondering what metal to choose. Once she had picked out her beautiful stones it was no contest that her ring would look amazing in 9ct rose gold.
This really picked up the colour of the pink rubalites and showed off the opals stunning fire.

Lapis Lazuli 9ct Yellow Gold Dress Ring Commission
Handmade Ring Commissions by HR Jewellery Designs on the West Sussex / Hampshire Border
My client has always loved Lapis Lazuli so came to me wanting a large statement ring with Lapis.
As my client knew the design she wanted and after taking some notes I was able to do a sketch to scale to make sure the ring would work with the size and shape of stone.
The next thing to do was to find a large cabochon cut Lapis stone she would adore.
An absolutely gorgeous Lapis Lazuli was chosen with beautiful flecks of gold shining through the rich blue colour.
The Lapis was set into a smooth polished 9ct yellow gold bowl shaped setting.
This gave the effect the Lapis was larger than it was while the yellow gold picks up the flecks of gold in the rich blue Lapis stone.
The beautiful leaf shaped shoulders on the ring bring the band and the setting together.
My client now has her stunning show stopping ring!
