Discuss Your Ideas With David
A Personal Approach to Jewellery Design
For David , jewellery design begins with listening. Every commission starts with a conversation — understanding your ideas, your aesthetic, and what matters most to you.
From there, I refine and translate those thoughts into designs that feel balanced, considered, and timeless.You remain at the centre of every decision.Working with me means direct access to the jeweller responsible for your piece.
There are no intermediaries, no showroom sales environments, and no pressure — only dialogue, refinement, and a measured approach that builds clarity and confidence at every stage.
The Bespoke Jewellery Experience
Creating jewellery should feel clear, considered, and subtly inspiring.This isn’t about choosing something already defined. It’s about creating something completely your own — guided by clarity, experience, and care.
Whether you start with a clear vision or simply the feeling that you want something different, the experience is designed to build your confidence at every stage. It is a collaborative process — one that unfolds through conversation, refinement, and careful decision-making.
Engagement Ring Designed Together:
A Clients Experience
I cannot recommend David more. He created the most beautiful engagement ring and was a pleasure to work with. The process of going through various diamond options together, seeing them in person, and also having multiple 3D printed "waxes" to compare the various options was perfect. My fiancée keeps mentioning how stunning the ring is, so thank you David!

Each commission follows four distinct stages: Inspire. Design. Create. Cherish.
Inspire
Every commission begins with a private consultation.
Here, we explore ideas, proportions, stones, and possibilities.Some clients arrive with a clear vision; others begin with only a feeling. For those seeking inspiration, I present a carefully curated mood board of exclusive original designs, refined 3D concepts, and wearable wax prototypes.
Each path is equally welcome.Together, we shape a considered design brief — balancing aesthetics, craftsmanship, and investment with clarity and care.
Design
This is where your ideas become tangible.I develop multiple 3D design concepts based on your discussions, allowing you to explore different interpretations before making a decision.
Using advanced 3D modelling and printing, you can see, refine, and even wear a prototype of your piece before it is crafted.This stage removes uncertainty.
Every proportion, angle, and setting can be assessed calmly and adjusted precisely.Confidence replaces guesswork.
Create
Once your design and stone selection are finalised, your jewellery is handcrafted in my Hatton Garden workshop.
Traditional bench skills remain at the heart of the process — shaping metal by hand, setting stones with precision, and meticulously finishing every detail.
Each stage is personally overseen to ensure the final piece reflects the standards established at the beginning.
Cherish
The final reveal is more than a presentation.
It is the moment when design, craftsmanship, and personal meaning converge. A piece created exclusively for you — to be worn, lived with, and ultimately passed on.Jewellery should endure both physically and emotionally.
That is always the intention.

“My passion has always been to create a personal, one-to-one jewellery design experience for those who want to create a piece as unique as their story — something made exclusively for them to wear. I believe this approach has achieved that”

Do I need to have a design in mind before we begin?
Not at all. Some clients arrive with clear ideas, while others start with only a feeling. Many jewellery commissions begin with a simple idea or occasion. The process is designed to guide you from wherever you are, allowing you to explore, refine, and confirm the design before anything is made, with clarity and inspiration throughout.
How long does the bespoke process take?
Once your design has been agreed, most custom made cufflinks are completed within 3–5 weeks. When a piece is required for a specific occasion, timelines can often be adjusted where possible — ensuring your cufflinks are ready when needed.
How is pricing approached?
Your investment is discussed early in the process, allowing each design and stone option to be guided with clarity — ensuring the final piece reflects both your vision and the agreed-upon details
How Much is the deposit?
A £250 jewellery design fee initiates the process, covering 3D concepts, wax models, and the sourcing of any diamonds or gemstones.
This is credited towards the final payment of your cufflinks. Once your jewellery design and stone are confirmed, a 50% deposit is required, with the balance payable upon completion.
Do I need to come to London?
You are welcome to meet at David's Marylebone studio, or we can work together remotely via video consultation. I also offer a travelling service across London and the Home Counties.
