The Studio specialises in private bespoke services. Designer Susan Plowman will translate your original idea for your unique piece of jewellery into a realistic rendered image,that will look exactly like the finished piece.

The initial £100 fee for this service will be deducted from the final price when you order.

We will make what ever you desire,using precious metal and stones sourced by us or recycling inherited pieces. We can remodel existing jewellery to create new family heirlooms. This bespoke service takes approximately 4-8 weeks from start to finish and can be done entirely on line or you can contact us at Fortrose for an appointment with Susan.

The on-line service is most often used by men wishing to commission an engagement ring or special gift that they want to be kept secret!

As an engagement ring is a once in a lifetime purchase and usually costs the equivalent of three months wages,you will want to make the right choices,these are a list of things to consider;

The Stone-How many? What colour? What cut? What carat? What clarity?

The most popular choice of stone has to be diamond,all our diamonds are ethically sourced and conflict free,with certificates when over.50ct - Below is an explanation of the 4 cs

Other choices are Sapphires,tanzanites,rubies,emeralds and for people wanting something Scottish cairngorms,but we can supply any stones and can show you selections of stones to choose from.

The Metal-Platinum is the hardest wearing and purest metal,it is also the rarest metal which makes it the most precious.

18ct gold is the next option,it can be supplied in white,yellow or rose and is harder wearing than 9ct which is less pure and does not have the richness of colour,usually 9ct white gold will be rhodium plated.

Finally you should also consider the wedding and eternity ring,which can be designed at the same time,with the design being put on hold for you.
