Bespoke by Black Betty

Your story, set in stone

Engagement rings, signets of meaning, cufflinks etched with memory, heirlooms reborn. We do not work from templates or trends. We start with you.

  • 2–4 weeks To make, once your stone is sourced
  • 9, 14 & 18kt Gold, plus platinum & silver

Made for meaning

Every story has a pulse. Every love, a language.

Bespoke is where we translate yours into form: a ring, a necklace, a talisman that is unapologetically yours. We sketch, select stones and sculpt metal until what emerges feels less like jewellery and more like a mirror of who you are.

Questions

Good to know

Still curious? Drop us an email.

What stones can I use?

We source mainly in India, so we have an enormous selection of qualities and varieties at our fingertips. If you are unsure, browse our stone guide.

Can I supply my own stones?

Yes, we are happy to use or reset your stones. Bring them to your consultation and we will show you the designs they suit best.

What metals do you work with?

Only precious metals: silver (with gold vermeil), yellow, rose or white gold in 9, 14 or 18 carat, and platinum. We are also happy to work with heirloom metals, as long as they are pure.

Can your jewellers help with my design?

Yes. Our jewellers are highly experienced and can realise nearly any style. Everything is handmade and every gemstone differs slightly, so allow for subtle variations.

I don't know my ring size

Pop into a studio to have your finger measured, or bring a ring your partner already wears if it is a surprise. Our ring size guide can help too. We can resize afterwards at an additional charge, depending on the metal needed.

How much will my piece cost?

Every piece is unique, so pricing varies. Decide on your budget beforehand and we will work around it. The first consultation is free; we then send a quote, and a 50% deposit starts production.

How long will it take?

Usually 2 to 4 weeks for making, once the quote is accepted and your stone is sourced.
