Bespoke Jewellery at Vuoi: What It Is, What It Costs & How It Works
When you dream about a piece of bespoke jewellery that feels exactly like you, not “almost right”, not something you saw on five other people, you’re already in bespoke territory.
At Vuoi, our bespoke jewellery service is all about saying yes to yourself, your story, your symbols, your style. Below, we’ll walk you through what bespoke actually means, how the process works, how much it can cost, and what to expect with timing, especially for engagement rings and remodelling.
What Does “Bespoke” Mean in Jewellery?
In jewellery, bespoke means a piece is designed and created specifically for you from the ground up.
It starts with you: your style, your story, your budget, your lifestyle.
The design is unique: not pulled straight from a catalogue, but tailored and adjusted to your preferences.
Every detail is considered: metal, stones, proportions, setting style, engravings, energy and symbolism.
Think of bespoke jewellery as the difference between a ready-made dress and one that’s been cut, pinned, and sewn to your exact measurements. Both can be beautiful – but bespoke is made for you, not just for sale.
At Vuoi, bespoke pieces are crafted in 14K solid gold, using natural gemstones, enamel, or lab-grown diamonds, aligned with your vision and values.

How Much Does It Cost to Get Custom-made Jewellery?
There’s no single price for bespoke, it depends on what we’re creating. But here’s how we usually break it down so it feels clearer and less intimidating.
Your bespoke piece will be priced based on:
Metal
14K yellow, white, or rose gold (more gold = more cost).
Gemstones or diamonds
Natural vs lab-grown
Size (carat), quality, and rarity
Complexity of the design
Intricate details, hand engraving, special settings, enamel work, pavé, etc.
Craftsmanship time
How many hours are required to design and create your piece.
Typical investment ranges (to give you a feel)
These are approximate guide ranges, not fixed quotes:
Minimalist solid gold pendant or ring (no large centre stones)
From a lower three-figure investment, increasing with gold weight and details.Diamond or gemstone ring / significant pendant
From mid three-figure into four-figure territory, depending on stone quality and size.Bespoke engagement rings or statement pieces
Typically, in the four-figure range and upwards, depending heavily on your chosen stone(s).
During your consultation, we always discuss budget openly and respectfully. Our aim is to design something beautiful and meaningful within the budget you’re comfortable with – not push you beyond it.
What Does a Bespoke Jewellery Service Include at Vuoi?
Our bespoke service is a guided, step-by-step experience, collaborative, creative, and transparent.
1. Consultation
This is where we sit down (in-store or virtually) and:
Talk about what you want to create: ring, necklace, bracelet, earrings, engagement ring, remodel, etc.
Explore your style: classic, bold, colourful, minimal, spiritual, vintage-inspired.
Look at any references: photos, Pinterest boards, heirloom pieces, or just ideas in your mind.
Discuss budget and timeframe honestly.
You don’t need to arrive with a full design – just a feeling, a vibe, or a story is enough to start.
2. Design & Refinement
From your consultation, we move into design:
Sketches and/or digital renders to help you see your piece before we make it.
Selecting metal (e.g. 14K yellow, white or rose gold).
Choosing stones, natural gems or lab-grown diamonds with guidance on quality, cut, and energy.
Adjusting proportions so the piece sits comfortably on your hand, neck, or ear.
You’ll have the chance to give feedback, “more delicate”, “bigger stone”, “thinner band”, “add engraving” – until it feels like a yes in your body.
3. Confirmation & Final Quote
Once you’re happy with the design:
We confirm all the details in writing (metal, stones, size, finishes, engravings).
You receive a final quote.
A deposit is usually required to begin production.
Nothing proceeds without your clear approval, you’re in the driver’s seat.
4. Crafting Your Piece
Our jewellers then bring the design to life:
The piece is cast, set, polished, and checked.
Stones are set securely by skilled craftspeople.
Finishing touches, like engraving or special textures are applied.
Every bespoke Vuoi piece is made to be worn, loved, and lived in, not just admired in a box.

How Long Does a Bespoke Jewellery Service Take?
We like to keep the bespoke journey smooth and clear, so you know exactly what to expect.
1. Consultation & Design Approval
First, we meet (in-store or online) to explore your ideas, inspirations, stones, budget and timeline. From there, we move into the design phase, where you’ll review sketches or digital renders and request any tweaks.
This stage usually takes around 1–2 weeks, depending on how many refinements you’d like before you say yes to the final design.
2. Crafting Your Bespoke Piece
Once your design is approved and your order is confirmed, we begin crafting your piece in 14K solid gold. This includes:
Casting your design
Setting your diamonds or gemstones
Polishing and applying any textures or engraving
Final quality checks
From design approval, your bespoke piece typically takes around 3–4 weeks to be completed and ready for collection or delivery.
Overall Timeline
From first consultation to finished piece, most bespoke projects are comfortably completed in approximately 4–6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the time taken to finalise your concept.
If you have a specific date in mind – such as a proposal, wedding, birthday or anniversary, let us know at the beginning so we can plan your timeline accordingly and advise what’s realistic.
2. Remodelling Existing or Antique Jewellery
This is where the magic of past and present meet. If you have:
An antique ring that feels too old-fashioned
A family heirloom you don’t wear
A broken chain or outdated setting with stones you love
We can remodel it into something new that you’ll actually wear:
Reusing the gold (where possible) or using it as credit towards your new piece
Resetting diamonds or gemstones into a fresh, modern design
Keeping certain details (like engravings) for sentimental value
Remodelling honours the story of your jewellery while giving it a new chapter.
Bespoke Engagement Ring Service
A bespoke engagement ring is one of the most intimate pieces you can create, it carries your story, your promise, your shared future.
At Vuoi, our bespoke engagement ring process typically includes:
Discovery & style exploration
We explore their style: classic solitaire, toi-et-moi, halo, trilogy, bezel, or something more unique.
We consider lifestyle: are they hands-on, minimal, bold, spiritual, colourful?
Stone selection
Choosing between natural or lab-grown diamonds, or coloured gemstones (sapphires, emeralds, etc.).
Discussing cut (round, oval, emerald, pear, marquise), size, and quality.
Band & setting design
Metal choice: 14K yellow, white, or rose gold.
Setting style: prong, bezel, cathedral, pavé band, hidden halo, etc.
Design approval & production
You see the design clearly before we begin.
Once approved, we handcraft the ring to your exact size and proportions.
We can work with your own diamond or source one for you, depending on what feels right for your story and budget.
What’s the Difference Between Custom and Bespoke Jewellery?
These words are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference in how many jewellers use them:
Custom Jewellery
Often starts from an existing design that you tweak.
You might change the stone shape, metal colour, band thickness, or add/remove details.
It’s personalised, but not always completely unique.
Bespoke Jewellery
Designed from the ground up for you.
We start with a blank page and your ideas, not an existing model.
Every element, from proportions to stone selection to symbolism is created around your story.
At Vuoi, we use “bespoke” to describe the fully tailored, from-scratch experience, and “custom” for pieces that are adapted from existing designs. Both can be beautiful, the key is choosing what feels right for your budget, timeline, and level of personalisation.
Is Bespoke Jewellery Right for You?
Bespoke might be perfect if:
You want something that no one else has.
You’re drawn to symbolism, energy, and meaning in what you wear.
You have a specific stone, heirloom, or concept you want to bring to life.
You’re planning a proposal or milestone moment and want the piece to tell your story.
If any of that feels like a yes in your chest, bespoke is worth exploring.

FAQs
What does “bespoke” mean in jewellery?
Bespoke jewellery is designed and created specifically for you from scratch – not just picked from a catalogue. Every detail, from the metal and stones to the proportions and engraving, is tailored to your story and style.
How much does bespoke jewellery cost?
Pricing depends on the metal, stones, and complexity of the design. Simple solid gold pieces without large centre stones start in the lower three-figure range, while diamond or gemstone pieces and bespoke engagement rings typically sit in the four-figure range and upwards. We always work transparently within your budget and confirm your quote before we begin.
How long does a bespoke piece take?
Most bespoke projects take around 6–10 weeks from consultation to finished piece. This includes 1–3 weeks for design and approval, and approximately 4–8 weeks for crafting. If you have a specific date in mind (proposal, wedding, birthday), let us know early.
What does the bespoke process include?
Our bespoke service includes a design consultation, concept and design development, stone selection (if needed), final design approval, and full production of your piece in 14K gold with quality gemstones or lab-grown diamonds.
Can I bring my own diamond or gemstone?
Yes. If you already have a loose diamond or gemstone, we can design and create a custom setting to showcase it beautifully and securely in a ring, pendant, bracelet or earrings.
Do you remodel old or antique jewellery?
Absolutely. We can remodel existing or antique jewellery – such as heirloom rings or unworn pieces – into a fresh, modern design you’ll actually wear. Where possible, we reuse your stones and may be able to work with your gold or use it as credit towards your new piece.
Do you offer bespoke engagement rings?
Yes. Vuoi specialises in bespoke engagement rings, from classic solitaires to toi-et-moi and colourful gemstone designs. We help you choose the right stone, metal, and setting to suit your partner’s style and lifestyle, and craft the ring to their exact size.
What’s the difference between custom and bespoke jewellery?
“Custom” usually means starting with an existing design and making changes, such as switching the metal, stone shape or band thickness. “Bespoke” means we design your piece from the ground up just for you. At Vuoi, both options are available – we’ll help you decide which suits your budget, timeline and level of personalisation.
