Meet David Law — Your Personal Jewellery Designer
I’m David Law, a Hatton Garden-trained custom jewellery designer and craftsman, and Your Personal Jeweller. For more than four decades, I have been creating jewellery that reflects love stories, emotions, and memorable moments.
For me, jewellery design is never about trends or templates — it’s about understanding people. Every commission begins with listening: to your ideas, your story, and what truly matters to you. My role is to guide, refine, and translate those thoughts into a design that feels natural, personal, and considered — something you’ll feel connected to from the first sketch to the moment you wear it.
My Journey: From Hatton Garden Apprentice to Master Jeweller
My career started with a highly competitive five-year apprenticeship in Hatton Garden, where I mastered traditional craftsmanship at the bench—shaping metals by hand, setting stones, sourcing diamonds and gemstones, and understanding the true character of each material.
Over the years, I have designed and crafted pieces for luxury jewellers, private clients, and well-known personalities. However, the work I cherish most has always been deeply personal: helping individuals create unique jewellery with emotional significance.
TRADITIONAL CRAFT, MODERN DESIGN AND A PASSION FOR DIAMONDS AND GEMSTONES
Today, I combine the traditional craftsmanship I learned in Hatton Garden with modern 3D design so you can see your ideas come to life in realistic visuals—and even try on 3D-printed models.
I combine expert diamond sourcing — both natural and lab-grown — with a love of coloured gemstones to guide you toward a stone that truly resonates with you.
With this approach, you’ll know exactly what your jewellery will look like — every angle, every detail — long before we begin crafting it in precious metal.
Designing Jewellery With You - A Unique Experience
Working with me is like having a conversation. I start by carefully listening to what matters: your ideas, your partner’s style, your story, and your budget. There are no trays of pre-made rings and no pressure, only a curated collection of past commissions to inspire you, my flair, and expert guidance.
We’ll collaborate on an inspiring design journey—sketching, refining, comparing stones, and exploring design options until we find something that feels right for you. Your piece is made to order, starting from a blank canvas and shaped by your involvement at every stage.

Curious to understand what truly sets a custom-made jewellery piece apart from buying something ready-made?
Buying jewellery is deeply personal — and the process of creating it should feel that way too. Whether you already have a clear idea or aren’t sure where to begin, I’ll guide you through the options, answer your questions, and help you explore what’s possible — with no pressure and no obligation.
If you’d like to explore your ideas further, I’d be delighted to talk.
Questions You May Be Wondering About
What does a jewellery designer do differently from a traditional jeweller?
As a jewellery designer, I start with a blank canvas rather than a finished piece. There’s nothing pre-made to sell and no catalogue to choose from. Instead, I focus on understanding your ideas, style, and story, then design a piece specifically for you.
This approach allows for complete creative freedom, thoughtful design decisions, and a result that feels truly personal rather than adapted from an existing ring.
How involved can I be in the design process?
You can be as involved as you wish. Some clients enjoy being part of every decision, while others prefer to rely on my guidance and experience.
Either way, you’ll always see and understand the design before it’s made, with the opportunity to refine details until everything feels right.
Do you design jewellery with sustainability in mind?
Absolutely. Wherever possible, I encourage remodelling existing jewellery, reusing precious metals, and repurposing heirloom stones — giving treasured pieces new life rather than starting from scratch.
When new materials are needed, I source diamonds and gemstones from trusted suppliers that prioritise ethical, traceable sourcing, and I use recycled precious metals whenever appropriate.
Each piece is designed and crafted to last for decades, avoiding the waste and short life cycle of mass-produced jewellery — creating something meaningful, beautiful, and responsible.
Do I need to know the exact jewellery design I want created before we start?
The simple answer is no. Many clients come to me with only a vague idea—or a sense of what they want the piece to express. Part of my role is to help you explore possibilities, refine ideas, and discover designs you may not have considered.
Through conversation, sketches, reference pieces, and 3D visuals, we’ll develop clarity together.
Can you work within a specific budget?
Yes. Budget is part of the design conversation from the very beginning. I’ll guide you through design choices, materials, and stone options that respect your budget while delivering a beautiful, meaningful result.
There are always creative ways to maximise impact without compromising quality.
What happens after my custom-made jewellery is finished?
Creating your jewellery is just the beginning of our relationship. Once your piece is finished, I remain on hand to ensure it continues to look and feel as it should.
Over time, jewellery may benefit from professional cleaning, inspections, or subtle adjustments, and I’m always happy to advise or assist as needed. Whether it’s a routine check, a resize, or guidance years from now, you’ll always know where to turn.
My aim is for you to feel confident not only when you receive your jewellery, but also every time you wear it.
