Special Orders and Commissions

Description

At Cathedral Jewellers, we specialise in designing, crafting, and customising bespoke jewellery commissions to suit your unique style and requirements. If you’re seeking something truly one-of-a-kind, explore our “Inspiration” category online for ideas or visit our ‘Commission page‘ to see the exceptional quality of work created by Clive. Simply email, or bring into the shop, your inspiration pictures or sketches to cathedraljewellersltd.co.uk to begin the process.

Whether you’d like to transform an antique family heirloom or create a contemporary design, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our knowledgeable team will help you consider your budget, preferred metals—such as yellow or white gold (in 9 or 18 carat), or the durability of platinum—and your choice of gemstones, including diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, or stones from heritage pieces. For those interested in semi-precious stones, Our goldsmith’s extensive collection and our trusted stone dealers ensure we can source exactly what you’re looking for.

When it comes to style, you can select from solitaires, trilogies, halos, clusters, or a ‘bubble’ mixed stone design for a modern twist. Our goldsmith will guide you through choosing the perfect setting—be it claw, rub over, bar, tiffany, or others—taking into account your lifestyle and preferences to ensure lasting beauty and durability. We measure ring sizes in-store, and all commissions include complimentary resizing.

To add a personal touch, we offer both hand and machine engraving. Whether you prefer deep, unique designs created by hand, precise laser engraving, or traditional seal engraving for signet rings, our team will advise you on the most suitable option for your requirements.

Once your design is finalised, we’ll provide a clear quote and estimated timeline, working with you to meet any special deadlines. With nearly 50 years’ experience, we recommend bringing your rings in annually for prong checks, ensuring your stones remain secure. We’re always happy to assist you with advice, insurance valuations, or aftercare.

If you’re commissioning a wedding or commitment ring, we’ll help you refine your ideas around style, width, and materials. Family gold or heritage pieces can be incorporated into new designs, blending sentiment with craftsmanship for the next generation. For those unable to visit Cornwall, we offer secure special delivery across the UK.
