The Art of Bespoke

There’s nothing quite like the joy Catherine experiences when bringing a client’s vision to life through bespoke jewellery. Witnessing the delight in our clients’ eyes as they hold their custom piece for the first time, knowing it will be cherished for a lifetime, is at the heart of what Catherine does. It’s more than just creating jewellery; it’s about crafting heirlooms that capture moments, emotions and the very essence of individuality.

Process

Step One: Initial Consultation & Vision Crafting

Begin your bespoke journey by filling out our exclusive consultation form, where Catherine gathers essential details to craft a truly unique piece.

You’ll provide your desired completion date, preferred consultation times (online or in-person), budget range and contact details. Specify your material preferences, or choose “Open to Recommendations.” For wedding rings, share images and sizes if you’re looking to fit around an existing piece. For engagement rings, describe your inspirations, such as gemstone choices, styles (solitaire, trilogy, etc.), and dimensions, if known. If you wish to recycle materials, upload images and outline your vision. For other bespoke pieces, like wedding or anniversary jewellery, provide a brief description of what you’re seeking.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

With Cat being Hannah’s friend from school, we knew she was the perfect choice to make our wedding rings. There’s something about knowing that a close friend has crafted a symbol of your love together that adds so much value to a piece of jewellery. From the beginning, Cat made time for us and ensured everything was perfect. She sketched designs, showed us examples of previous works, and presented different metal options before helping us decide on the final look. Since the rings in a packet of Haribo Starmix don’t count, I can’t say I’ve worn a ring before. Being able to visit Cat and try on different shapes, cuts, and sizes made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable. We not only have a pair of rings that symbolise so much but also fit and feel perfect, crafted by a friend. This makes every glance at my left hand extra special.

I absolutely love my many pieces of Ellen Catherine jewellery (I never take the earrings off!), so it was a no-brainer that we chose her to design our wedding rings. My wife and I both wanted wedding rings that complemented each other but were also suited to our own engagement rings. Cat took the time to understand what we wanted and offered various suggestions and designs. We loved meeting with her throughout the process, having the chance to fully customise the rings, and how personal the experience was. Not to mention, the final product was absolutely stunning.

I knew the type of bridal jewellery I wanted to wear to match my wedding gown, and since Cat was designing our wedding bands, I loved the idea of her also making my necklace and earrings. She found the most gorgeous pearls to use, and together we designed my dream drop pearl earrings and a matching necklace. We thought it would be an extra nice touch to have our bridesmaids wear bracelets from the same designer as the bridal jewellery, so she also made five personalised bracelets for us too. I would recommend Ellen Catherine to anyone looking for excellent service and products. We wish we were getting married every year just to wear more of her designs!

I reached out to Catherine to create an engagement ring because I wanted to work with someone who could bring my vision to life and create something truly special for my partner. Catherine took my ideas and turned them into a stunning reality. Throughout the process, she communicated each step of the design and progress clearly, giving me complete confidence in the final product. The ring exceeded all expectations—it’s absolutely perfect. Even now, we continue to receive compliments on its beauty and craftsmanship!

My experience working with Catherine was nothing short of exceptional! I fell in love with one of her gold ring designs and reached out to inquire about creating a silver version as a graduation gift. Catherine was more than happy to accommodate my request, even providing pricing options for both metals. I had a specific budget, and Catherine went above and beyond to find creative solutions that allowed me to stay within it, without sacrificing quality or design.Throughout the entire process, Catherine kept me informed at every step, ensuring that I was satisfied with each decision. Her attention to detail and excellent communication made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The result was a stunning, beautifully crafted ring that I absolutely adore! I highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a truly special piece of jewelry. Thank you, Catherine, for making this experience so memorable!
