From the expert design service to the exquisite handcrafted finish, create your own unique ring to treasure.
This wonderful, thoughtful experience, a one of a kind journey, will create not just a ring personal to you, but a memory and a story all of its own.
We offer a complimentary consultation either in person at our London studio, or via phone and email. Many of our clients are overseas, so if you are unable to visit the premises, we will be happy to receive your ideas and to share our design proposals.
We will select a range of ethically sourced stones from our trusted gem dealers and share our knowledge so that you feel confident in picking the one that speaks most to your love story.
This is a personal journey for you, whether you have a fully-fledged design or only an idea, we will be there to guide you.
When designing the ring, we will share proposals inspired from the chosen gem and the sense of style of the client. Once the design is created, a series of CAD images and video, if required, will be produced to show the concept. Any further tweaks to the design can be done easily this way. The whole process usually takes 4-6 weeks.
If the ring is to be a surprise, we will design a mood board of images around your loved one's style, and we will share a couple of tricks in finding out their ring size. If you would like a little inspiration have a look at some of our past commissions.
Finally, your ring will be presented in luxurious eco-friendly packaging, ready for you to collect or to be securely shipped. Any necessary aftercare will be provided.
1. CASE STUDY
Nick wanted to get the perfect ring for Aimee, with a plan to surprise her with the proposal on their trip to Iceland. This is how I made this dream a reality.
2. INSPIRATION
Inspiration from Aimee's current jewellery collection and magazines that Nick had secretly sourced without her knowing. I felt her style was quite ornate, delicate but with a contemporary edge.
3. SKETCHBOOK
I sat down with a sketchbook for initial designs. The main thing we had to decide was whether the main stone was to be pear or oval shaped. We felt having graduating sized diamonds down the sides would create more flow to the shape.
4. GEMS
I selected a range of diamonds with varying quality that would suit this clients' budget and desires. After giving him a mini education in diamond qualities, we ended up with one that spoke to Nick, he instantly fell in love with it.
5. CAD
I created some CAD images of the proposed design to help Nick visualise the ring. We made a couple of changes to the setting style as we felt it would suit her personality better.
6. SETTING
I began to construct the ring, getting the settings ready for the diamonds to be secured in place. Cutting the metal away under the stones allows more light to reflect from underneath.
7. FINAL RING
The finished article, Nick proposed on their trip to Iceland, and Aimee was over the moon.
Stavros created the most beautiful ring - I love it!
My other surprised me on a trip to Iceland. Stavros created the most beautiful ring - I love it! The pictures don't do it justice, but it is absolutely stunning and exactly what I would of picked myself. Its particularly special to have something one of a kind. I will be recommending Stavros to all my friends :)
Aimee
Bespoke one of a kind that was better than I could have dreamed of
Stavros took my ideas for an engagement ring and designed a bespoke one of a kind that was better than I could have dreamed of. We discussed the ideas, Stavros sketched in his little book, and shortly after I had a 3D computer renders to review. I love that the ring is unique and not ‘off the shelf’. Stavros also created our matching platinum wedding bands with engraving. You won’t find better when it comes to bespoke jewellery and I can’t recommend Stavros highly enough.

Stavros is an outstanding craftsman. Highly professional, and a truly talented designer. We had a piece of bespoke jewellery made for a ruby wedding anniversary present, and it is such a beautiful piece of jewellery that will be worn and treasured forever. I would highly recommend Stav, the service exceeded our expectations. I can't recommend enough. FIVE STARS all the way.

Stav's patience, creativity and skill were exceptional
My future husband knew that I would want to pick my own engagement ring and I was very lucky to be able to design my own. Stav was great through this process, he sent me ideas for inspiration, took me to Hatton Gardens to look at a variety of different gems and precious stones and drew various different designs until I was completely happy with my chosen ring. I would thoroughly recommend Stav, his patience, creativity and skill were exceptional and he made it an exciting experience in the process of coming up with the final design.

Stavros is an incredible designer
Stavros is an incredible designer from start to finish. He designed our wedding bands and also my wife's engagement ring. We loved the process. We went to him after my wife met a ring designer only interest in selling us the most expensive gemstone possible. Stavros really got to know us and thought deeply about the designs which would fit us as a married couple. Thank you Stav!
