WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A BESPOKE DESIGN CONSULTATION

Design Inspiration, Jewellery Services, Advice & Information Posted by Gerard McCabe on 06/07/2018

Sometimes it’s hard to find the perfect design. Often we have a particular style or design in mind, but finding it in-store seems impossible. It’s in times like these that custom design is a great idea!

If you’re looking to create something one-of-a-kind, our bespoke service is for you. Designing your ideal jewellery piece is more than just imagining something in your mind. It needs nurturing, and an expert to guide the process. At Gerard McCabe, we have our own designer who loves bringing these dreams to life!

WHO DESIGNS THE CUSTOM JEWELLERY AT GERARD McCABE AND WHAT ARE THEIR SPECIALITIES?

Our Design Director Nazanin is wonderfully talented, having specialised in several fields including industrial design, and has a Master of Design. With her main passion being jewellery, Nazanin’s eye for colour and design is honed by her fine art training. When sharing her love for collaborative designs, Nazanin describes how “each design is unique, and they are designed with perfection in mind”.

“I love working with people and getting to know them; finding out what they like and love. It’s the best feeling in the world when you see people enjoying your designs.”

AS A CLIENT, WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN I BOOK IN FOR A BESPOKE APPOINTMENT?

Nazanin will meet exclusively with you in our private showroom to discuss your vision for the piece. Together you will discuss the initial concept with no obligation!

 "Our process is different from everywhere else," Nazanin says.

During the first consultation, Nazanin will guide you through any technical issues. If both parties are on the same page and the client feels comfortable, further research, design, and a quotation will follow.

HOW LONG DOES A CONSULTATION TAKE?

It comes down to the individual. The answer is: as long as it needs to take! There’s no pressure from our sales team or our designer - you are more than welcome to take as much time as necessary.

HOW MUCH DOES A BESPOKE PIECE USUALLY COST?

The price of a bespoke piece depends significantly on the style, gemstone used, and other features decided by both the customer and Nazanin.

WHAT DOES THE BESPOKE PROCESS INCLUDE, AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Following the initial design consultation, your design and quote can take anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 months, depending on the complexity of the design. At the presentation, modifications are then discussed, and once all parties are in agreeance, production begins! This is typically an 8-10 week process.

Once the piece is ready and thoroughly inspected, a final presentation is organised and the champagne is put on ice!

Overall, Nazanin believes that there’s a 200 percent success rate with her bespoke creations - the extra 100 percent being for the tears and messages that come from the final product.

“I would say I’m generally designing for adventurous people, and also Gerard McCabe clients who have experienced our exceptional service and products and have built trust with our jewellers over the years”
